Editorial Reviews

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, from Dayton Ohio, has had quite a year. One of the breakout bands of 2006, selling more than 30,000 units of their debut record Dear love: a beautiful discord. Plagues, their intense sophomore record will surely not disappoint but rather propel the band to new heights. TDWP is gifted musically, they seamlessly intertwine technical metal and hardcore with melodic overtones. Super catchy and always heavy, they play mind blowing riffs that will crush cars. The mayhem and excitement for this band is genuine and totally organic. With a unique peer to peer relationship with their fans, TDWP is 100% accessible at their shows. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA is made up of six extremely talented musicians with a strong work ethic. TDWP is willing to drive the extra mile, always. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words cannot describe this cd, August 23, 2006

This review is from: Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord (Audio CD)

My friend was over one night and we listened to these guys. I loved them the instant I heard them. The frontman does the screams, highs and lows, and one of the guitarists is the singer. They combine a few different influences, and they use a ton of keyboards in their music. They take the blastbeats from death metal, combine it with the riffs, breakdowns, and two-step parts from hardcore, and then add some amazing singing from the guitarist. This cd, which I have been waiting a really long time for, is comprised of 11 songs. 3 of which are instrumental/interludes, 6 are re-recorded versions of all the songs from their old ep Patterns Of A Horizion, and the last 2 are fantastic new songs.

Mike is a great vocalist. He has highs, mids, and lows. And Jeremy does a great job with the clean singing. The Devil Wears Prada is a Christian band and they express their beliefs through their music and lyrics. I myself am not religious, but I hope others like me will have an open mind to appreciate some fantastic music.

There are plenty of 2-steps, blastbeats and breakdowns here, and the keyboards are everywhere. I think that's what got me into the band so much. I love bands that use keyboards and synths in their songs.

If you're looking for some a great/metal hardcore cd, you have an open mind, but want something different from today's generic bands, give The Devil Wears Prada a listen. You love the amazing music combined with sick keyboard parts and beautiful clean vocals and brutal screams. This, is again another hardcore/metal cd that is going to be in the years Top 10.

It should be noted that iTunes reads the cd wrong. It shows Rosemary Had An Accident as track 4, when it should be track 5. And The Sentence Trails Off... shows as track 5 and should be track 4. Just to let you guys know in case you were wondering why they didn't match up with the old songs on the ep. Hope you enjoy the album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frustratingly Good Post Hardcore With PIANO!!!, December 1, 2008

I can't describe how good this cd is. The vocals are spot on and vary between metalcore, thrash and clean melody. The guitar, bass and drums work together to create some of the best instrumental foreground I've ever heard (the breakdowns are far more creative than most of the metalcore bands around today.) On top of all that, this CD has some of the best and busiest keyboard/piano work I've ever heard on a rock album. The synths soar and complete this band...

Buy this CD!

PS
Totally clean, Christian lyrics. No worries there!
