Attitude (Rip Rig + Panic album)

Attitude is the third and final studio album by the post-punk band Rip Rig + Panic, released in 1983 by Virgin Records.

Reception
In Melody Maker, Lynden Barker described the album as "marvellous", saying that "(t)hough not as immediately appealing as God ... it possesses a multi-layered makeup that becomes more and more exciting on each successive spin". Douglas Baptie of The Digital Fix wondered "Why wasn't it more popular?" and said that the album "somehow combines the best qualities of the previous two". The List's Neil Cooper called Attitude "the most honed, conventionally focused and 'produced'" of Rip Rig + Panic's three.
