20 Fall Albums That Matter Most

TEGAN AND SARA
SAINTHOOD (Sire/Vapor)
Release Date: October 27
The Skinny: Inspired by a line from Leonard Cohen's wryly regretful 1979 ballad "Came So Far for Beauty" -- "I practiced all my sainthood / I gave to one and all / But the rumors of my virtue / They move her not at all"-- the twins' sixth album plunges into obsessive, unrequited love, but reflects a deeper, maturing perspective. The songs' arrangements, with fuzzy guitar and harsh synth bursts, boast a more nuanced jolt.
Fast Fact: In an attempt to write together, the siblings roadtripped to New Orleans, but none of those collaborations ended up on the album.
