On the Attack is the debut studio album by American dance musician Gillette.[1] It was produced by 20 Fingers.[2] The album was initially released in late 1994 as Gillette's solo album. Later, on April 18, 1995, it was re-released in Poland and Germany as the debut album of 20 Fingers, credited as 20 Fingers featuring Gillette and retitled On the Attack and More.

Background

On August 31, 1994, 20 Fingers released their controversial debut single "Short Dick Man" featuring vocalist and rapper Gillette on Zoo Entertainment/SOS Records. Following the song's massive global success, particularly in France where it was a number one hit for three weeks, the producers of 20 Fingers decided to release a full Gillette solo album, titled On the Attack, in various countries including Brazil, Canada, Scandinavia, Australia, Japan, Portugal, Chile, South Korea, and the U.S. In Poland and Germany, however, they released it as the debut studio album of 20 Fingers, credited as "20 Fingers feat. Gillette", retitled On the Attack and More, with altered cover art and a bonus track, the second single "Lick It", featuring vocals from Roula. 20 Fingers continued to release subsequent singles "Mr. Personality" and "You're a Dog" under the "20 Fingers feat. Gillette" brand in Poland and Germany, while releasing them as Gillette solo everywhere else.

Critical reception

The Hartford Courant noted that "20 Fingers depends on a heavy guitar crunch and lapsed cheerleader chants—The Beastie Boys' '(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!)' crossed with Toni Basil's 'Mickey!'"[3] The Toronto Star called the album "an appealing mix of dance and rock styles that, given a chance, will transcend the novelty tag."[4]
