The Devil Wears Prada - Color Decay (September 16, 2022) Album • Page 6

i can see why the band don't like the first 2 records so much. they really are just riff salad without much structure or songwriting really going on, but some songs do be hitting on them tho

 

Yeah I just did kind of a perusal of Dear Love and my goodness there was like no lyrics for any of those songs. They just repeated the same lines multiple times to make it longer

 

Yeah, honestly think at this point Color Decay is my favorite album as a whole. So strong.

 

haven't checked in with these guys since dead throne so i got pretty surprised by the sound on this thing... regardless... it's dope

 

After some repeated listens I’m definitely still digging this but I kinda wish it was a little less polished

 

The last minute of Noise is absolutely insane.

This album is special. Can't stop listening.

This has become a multi-listen a day for me. It's so good.

Top Tier:
Exhibition
Watchtower
Time
Noise
Sacrifice

Mid Tier:
Salt
Broken
Hallucinate

Low Tier:
Cancer
Fire
Trapped
Twenty-Five

8/10 from me, and definitely a top-10 for my 2022 Albums list.

 

The last minute of Noise is by far my favorite thing they have ever done. Mike's vocals are otherworldly.

 

Hallucinate being mid and Trapped being Low?! You’re wild.

 

My top favorite tracks are Exhibition, Noise, Trapped, and Hallucinate.

 

My favorites are the fast aggressive ones, specifically Time, Noise, Watchtower, Sacrifice, Exhibition, and all the midtempo ones except for Trapped are mid. Anyone said Trapped has a La Dispute/Touche Amore vibe yet?

 

Replay value on these songs have been crazy for me. Sacrifice stills feels fresh and I've been listening to that well over a year now.

I don't think i've witnessed another band get such a strong "second wind" this far into their careers. The "new" members really breathed a lot of fresh air into their songwriting and overall approach. Everything since Space Ep to now has been much stronger than their prior work imo.

 

Yeah I left them for dead after 8:18 and I think a lot of people did too

 

I didn’t but you’re also not wrong at all

 

I give an immense amount of credit to Jon for the band’s revival. Respect to Jeremy and Mike for not being egotistical and allowing Jon to take the reins. It’s paid off in a big way.

 

8:18 rules tho!

 

I agree - it just did very little commercially or critically

 

They don't have a bad project imo, even Dear Love is a fun trip back to the 2000s

 

The correct ranking

 

This is a really good album and Noise is by far my favorite song. That opening riff when it kicks in is so groovy and chunky, i love it. I know they released a lot of singles, but this one is lagging on spotify plays so hopefully I'm not alone.

Excited to catch them on the ABR tour just announced and I hope they play Noise.

 

I was hoping to see the setlist before catching this tour, but my date is the first one haha

 

Listened to this band for the first time recently starting with Color Decay and absolutely love it. Can anyone give me recommendations of what albums to go to next?

 

I would just work my way backward if color decay was my starting point. Go with the act next

 

Absolutely work backwards. Their sound has changed quite a bit in my opinion but gradually. Going backwards will help those older albums make more sense lol
