Ok I'll Force it Again--just one more time

Update on how I like Depeche Mode's new song.

It's allllllllright. I mean I'm glad to hear a new DM song and I'm always glad to hear Dave sing.

but

it's so mild mannered and so "oh well I'll write this song and *yawn* you sing it and we'll tour and make money and stuff."

I'm in the process of forcing myself to like it and there are certain parts of the song that I do like really but I'm just not in love with it. It's too radio friendly and it sounds too much like something that came out a long time ago by a group called Cause and Effect that sounded just like Depeche Mode.

In all fairness, the recording I heard was not ready for release yet. The song should not have been heard until September or October but some dummy at Q released the recording and the unfinished video on what he thought was a "secure" area of their website. So every true Depeche Mode fan (except for me) got to download this stuff. So now that I'm three days late (as always) I can no longer find the link to the video because hooray it's illegal to download and view and every link has been removed. But somebody sold it on ebay already. I searched far and wide on websites in various languages for a link to the song. Guess where I found it.
CHUM FM in Canada of all places. They're so bold that they have been playing the song on the radio already and have a poll where you can listen to the song and vote on how much you liked or disliked it.

"Oh Canada..."

So I'll be going to this tour and singing every word to this song and pretending to like it, though I'll really be there to see and hear all of the old songs.

Ready Ethel?
