Overview

[edit]

The album includes re-recorded versions of all tracks from the band's demo Patterns of a Horizon, and two original tracks, "Texas is South" and "Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over". The closing track "Salvation" features guest vocals from Cole Wallace of Gwen Stacy.[citation needed] "Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over" is available for download via the Rock Band Network.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Stewart Mason of Allmusic described The Devil Wears Prada as "fairly wide-ranging in its influences", in their take on the metalcore genre, comparing the James Baney's keys to European symphonic metal, while describing Jeremy DePoyster's clean vocals as emo-tinged. He also remarked the album's sound and arrangements to be an improvement over the debut, rendering the demo only essential for "completists".[6]
