The single "Attack" was at first not supposed to be on the record, but after Jared played it acoustically to the producer as a joke, the producer said it was their strongest song and it had to be their first single from their second album[2].
A live version of the song has been made available for download on iTunes.
Music video
The video for the song was filmed in an abandoned hotel in Hollywood where the crew encountered prostitutes and drug addictssquatting prior to filming. The video found minor success on Fuse, mtvU, and MTV2. The video is purportedly the first to contain a person having surgery live. In the video Jared Leto is the main bandmember shown. In fact, aside from brief silhouettes, the other band members are not shown at all. Despite the personal note to the lyrics of "Attack", the video takes on a sexual air.
