I'm reviewing it for WMTS. the artwork is very nice. "the way it's meant to be" sounds amazing. it is now my personal goal to get it to number 1 on the WMTS most played list.

I cant believe that it's finally happening......our baby boys is all grows up.

Yes, "The Way it's Meant to Be" is very nice, and I love the artwork. It's very cute, and the CD is in my favorite color, aqua.

They are indeed all grows up.

Awesome! Can't wait for the commercial release...but then again, I have to catch up on all the presently available Features merch that I haven't gotten around to buying...oh well.

I am joining in on the pledge to getting it to #1. The packaging is really cool and I can't wait to own my third copy of the EP.

I think it was officially released in the UK today too. Is there any place where we can see a picture of the new cd?

And yes, the way its meant to be sounds awesome... much better than how it sounded over the web. Also, someway somehow sounds a little different than the version on the website's player. Wasn't too sure about it at first, but I've grown to really like it a lot.

This is all very exciting to me and I've only been a features fanatic for a year and a half now. I can't imagine how happy this makes some of you who followed them from the beginning.

Cool. Thanks for the link. Nice review! I like how only Roger and Rollum get band member credits.

According to this article, they are Features, not The Features.

That's probably not at all important, but it bothers me. It's funny to read.

That's so NA.

I think that they do that (maybe) to make it less confusing when you are searching for a band. I list bands that way in my MusicMatch Jukebox.

Ah, makes sense for the listing, but it's still bugs me in the article. It sounds like a last name.

Maybe they're just trying to be consistent. That's all I've got.

ok, maybe this stuff has been answered before...

1. Will the single be released in the US or just The Beginning?
2. Same question for the 7"
3. If everything is released both in the US and the UK, will there be different art for each of them?

I have a radio copy of the UK single, but I want ART, damnit, and I must have everything.

Single and 7" are being released in the UK only. I'm not sure if the band will try to make some available at shows here or not.

It's probably because Ray Davies stole it. After all, it's in his hands.

i put it in the new cd mailbox last tuesday fully reviewed. it just probably hasnt been taken out yet.



besides, i plan on buying it as soon as it comes out. i wouldnt dare steal it. what's the point of depriving the features of crucial CMJ chart action.....
