Dear Love: A Beautiful Discord is the debut studio album by American metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada.[2] It was released on August 22, 2006 through Rise Records.
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. "Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over" is available for download via the Rock Band Network.
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".[3]
