Well it dropped today and it’s utterly lovely!

That unexpected single release was such a nice surprise!

Well I confess this song is not one of my favourites so far, I need to focus more on the lyrics to see if something darker lies there... (I'm sure it does)

It is nice and evil
but not very good…

Reminds me somewhat of "All That," and I suspect I'm going to find myself whistling along at odd times.

stupid melody, I guess I have to skip this
it is too close to All That

I'm not making any appraisal of this song yet because l really want to wait for the whole cd...l think context is everything,but l will say that l think perhaps Ron is finally showing some consideration for his brother and writing songs that don't take supreme vocal gymnastics to sing...
So far the songs are more heartfelt perhaps than we're used to,and maybe throwing us a bit off kilter.....

Isn't that great?
That's why l love Sparks.....

No one can be forced to like something if it doesn’t appeal to them…but it doesn’t warrant a double post to state that dislike…mind you has Henry McHenry given a positive report about any song released off the past two albums?
No, I didn’t think so is he secretly Neil Tennant??

All the songs of their
recent Albums are great in a way
but All That is not

I think "All that" is a great sing-along tune for concerts, with the "uh-huh's" and the hand-clapping, it works pretty well for me, even if it may sound a bit cheesy it's still a beautiful song to me.

But "My Devotion" doesn't even have that kind of vibe I'm afraid, makes me think of "Please Don't F*** Up My World" that is also a bit too soppy for me.

I don't love the song and it actually dampens expectations. I realize it is the industry standard to pre-release half the album in advance but I don't like it!

I think the album will be great
the two weak tracks on Drip did not ruin
the great album

I have the impression the lyrics relate to a stalker

I do agree..... It's a Sparks song, it should never be taken at face value....
