Buy: The Devil Wears Prada With Roots Above and Branches Below
Here's Why:
In spite of the album name that comes off a bit pretentious in my opinion, this CD is..is.. I'm not even sure I have the words to describe it. The album debuted at #13 on the Billboard 200, and is currently at 11. And yes, oh yes, it deserves to be ranked higher. This is quite frankly THE best album I've heard all year (The Chariot and The Decemberists were decent). My jaw is on the floor. This is an evolution of The Devil Wear's Prada sound, and the band is proving without mercy or remorse why they're largely considered the founders of metalcore and the rulers of the subgenre. The eerie sound effects are better, the vocals are better, the overall quality is better, the breakdowns are better, the music is just such a superb advancement that it deserves a trophy. Old fans, you'll be happy. New fans, you will exist.By the way, readers, if you weren't aware, you can listen to 25 songs for free a month if you sign up for rhapsody (the free version). That is how I'm currently rocking this album.
