The Devil Wears Prada is exactly what you would expect from a band on Rise Records: fashionable, flavor-of-the-week metalcore. Sure enough, all the staples of a generic metalcore record (alternating sing/scream vocals, dissonant breakdowns, and clichéd metal riffs) are in place on Dear Love: A Beautiful Dischord. Top it all off with pristine production and song titles that more stupid than they are clever, and what you’re left with is an album that is competent, yet ultimately disposable.

this band is awsome the first time i heard them it blew me away! i love the devil wears prada. i cant wait to see them at warped tour!!!! Man, all you old punk dudes are so closed minded. I'm not gona lie, this album gets pretty unintelligent in places, but the lyrics are great, it's decently technical and it's musical landscape is jaw dropping at times. In my eyes this band is very well. they are clever for the names of there song and very incredible lyrics. its not just a flashy guitar and well key boards. there stating a very good face with there name and there songs it a catholic band one and they make it sound amazing!!!the name from when i lookeed it up they said it stood for horrible band Posted by Anonymous on Monday, April 16, 2007 at 12:28 PM (EDT) the name of this band is worse than 'clap your hands and say yeah' So why is it the RIAA can sue college kids for downloading music, yet bands can name themselves after movie titles and release records under that name.... does the writer/director or author of a book get paid when I band reuses (steals the title) this band isn't quite as bad as Drop Dead Gorgeous We'll just pretend that they have been around since the book was first published and that that's where they got their name from. And even given that benefit of the doubt, their music sounds like ass and their band name is still shitty. .This band is everything that is wrong with todays music. awful...just awful Jesus Wears Armani...this band is terrible by the way, just terrible. you look up "gay shit" in the dictionary and there's a picture of this "WTF...this band is soooooo good. I hope they get added to warped." Come on, guys... wow. i really really thought that this band was a joke. i mean, who would name themslves after a movie THAT JUST CAME OUT?!?! then again, i chose to watch a youtube wid of the these guys at this christian festival called cornerstone and i see how the name works for them i guess. eh, i pass this off as simular to underoath. underoath when they had dallas sinign i guess. This band is fucking sweet. You guys obviously haven't heard them. So excited to see them this summer! (maybe on warped?) Wow...could this be a tie-in with the movie? Because whatshername...Princess Diaries...yeah, she's hot. And, no, I'm not in a mood for coherent or applied thought. I just realized how weird the word "thought" looks when you type it. I think I'm gonna review the Heresy "85-87" CD for tuesday. ahahahhhahhhahha Terrible fucking band. i wonder what PETA would have to say about this bands name. "Chainsaw brutality tornado strength" Fuck these guys. I mean, I've heard some shitty band names, we all have, but ho-ly shit, this one's the worst. what have you done with crazytoledo Why is it that people mention what nice guys are in a band as though it's a defense for how shitty the band is? I've known some real assholes who've made some excellent music. These guys could spend their days rescuing kittens from trees, working in soup kitchens, and volunteering to spend time with the elderly. It wouldn't change the fact that this is just another shitty, generic mallcore band with a terrible name. These guys suck, their drummer being "an exceptionally nice fella" does nothing to change that. When does Prada step up and sue all these people for claiming their shit is worn by evil?? Worst band name of the year. It's one thing to name your band after an obscure reference in a book or a movie, but the title of a very popular book/movie? What the hell? That's like naming your band "The DaVinci Code" or "E.T." wow, this blows. why anyone chose to name their band after a terrible book is beyond my comprehension. the drummer from this band is a really exceptionally nice fella Myspace sluts are stoked. The Devil Wears Spandex. El Satan Malvado Grande "It’s like listening to a clone of a clone, and it sucks." "Why would you name your band this?" Why would you name your band this? WTF...this band is soooooo good. I hope they get added to warped. Maybe the worst band name in history. holy crap. a completely original concept: trendy metalcore with stupid-sounding "creative" names. first Hey Mike, and now this; it surprises me how many totally original bands there are these days. surely a defiant spitting in the face of those who feel that the current music scene is dead. be prepared for The Devil Wears Prada to continue exploring the limitless creative territory that has definately not already been picked clean by the swarms of other metalcore bands with stupid-sounding long names. I think the keyboards just cause them to sound exactly like Underoath. Not that it makes them any better or worse. romos |
