Our report earlier this week about the songs "Vanity" and "Dept. of False Hope" being released today turned out to be correct!
However, instead of the songs having been made available in the common music stores such as iTunes and Amazon, "Vanity" is only available from pretty unknown service called "rdio". Check it out here (you'll have to sign up, though): http://www.rdio.com/artist/Bad_Religion/album/Vanity/
"Dept. of False Hope", on the other hand, can only be found in Zune Marketplace, Xbox Marketplace, which apparently means you'll need a Windows phone or an Xbox. Windows 8 Music also contains the song, free of charge (thanks Powderedtoastman for the info!).
Bad Religion fans wouldn't be Bad Religion fans if they hadn't already made the songs available on Youtube:
Vanity (thanks to Gaia):
Dept. of False Hope:
Vanity:
I'll strike it if I don't like it
Gimme a club and I will have myself a riot
I'm a monkey with a brick on my shoulder
And I'm getting bolder
Let's deny and defame
Let's destroy and recreate in our glorious name
And when the joke of our centrality is upon us
Grovel and decry
Our vanity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
In a world that mocks our tragedy
Hyper-aware and impaired
Terrified by natures mocking stare
Yearning for significance beyond our animal ken
On which we do depend
Such vanity
Isolated with our own inanity
Entangled by our callow gravity
Disgraced to face our own humanity
Dept. of False Hope:
Welcome my son to where the work is never done
And the hungry are seldom ever fed
The department of false hope is a proving ground for dopes
And they'll grind your tiny bones to make their bread (Hosanna)
So hold your head up high forgotten man
Tomorrow won't be made for you
And everybody's gotta try to lend a helping hand
For god and man there's nothing more to do
It crackled on the radio through bright plumes of the sun
The announcer said the age of faith was dead
Though the adolescent nation was just looking for salvation
The beast of reason reared it's ugly head (Hosanna)
So hold your head up high forgotten man
Tomorrow's not for me and you
And everybody's gotta try to lend a helping hand
For god and man there's nothing more to do
From your cradle of destruction
With the poorest of instruction
And the merest sliver of a tune
You managed somehow to muddle through
So hold your head up high forgotten man
Tomorrow's not for me and you
And everybody's gotta try to lend a helping hand
For god and man there's nothing more to do
There is nothing more
hopeless housewife

Finally got access to both songs, amd I'm thrilled. The new album couldn't come out soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to be really pissed if it's released when I'm scheduled for surgery. Maybe I'll ha e my husband smuggle my iPod into the recovery room. That'll make it okay. From what ibe heard I'm stoked for the new record, amd can't wait for the band to announce US tour dates. With two little kids I'm not able to travel too far away from Detroit. I'm so wishing I lived on the West Coast now.

All I can say is WOW. I was blown away by "True North", but when I heard "Dept. of False Hope", it has to be one of the best songs i've ever heard from Bad Religion. 30+ years on and still producing music like this... WOW.
If the guys tour Australia, i'll be seeing them in my hometown (Adelaide), and i'll make the trek to see them in Melbourne and Sydney as well.
I can't wait for my CD and T-shirt to arrive!

[quote=ComicSans]That's interesting, I'm quite the opposite. I'm enjoying the songs more and more as I listen. I am super optimistic about this record.[/quote]The first time I listened Dept of False Hope, I thought it was great... now I'm thinking it's kinda boring, specially by the end.
I started to remember the first times I listened to BR. It was always put it on the record player and listen it as a whole some times. The songs kinda conected to each other and I still can only listen the those 80's and 90's records this way.
If I have to stop listening Suffer in the middle of it, for example, it pisses me off. It's almost OCD!
This is the first time I'm listening it in pieces and I'm not liking the experience. I'm still liking True North a lot, though.

I think I'll stop listening to this songs until I get the whole album. I'm kinda liking them less and less each time I listen and maybe that's because they are out of the album context.

Vanity is pretty damn awesome. I love Dept of False Hope but the chorus is a little too happy-happy sounding. Main verses are awesome.
If I had to rank so far, True North would be best. Then Vanity, Dept of False Hope, and Fuck You.
Damn, I don't even know if I wanna listen to the others if they get posted. Oh, who am I kidding.
