So how 'bout it? Which of the "new" Features songs is your favorite?

P.S. This is the first poll I've ever made. I feel so cool.

Hold You Alone. No contest.

"Arcata" is one of the most dynamic songs the Features have in their catalogue. "Gates of Hell" has, probably, the best lyrics of any Features song and I absolutely adore it. "Foundation's Cracked" is totally awesome, the only thing wrong with it is the guitar solo that sounds a tad out of place. If the transition is into it is fixed, it'll be a real contender. "Winded" gets better with every listen.

But "Hold" is the best and, at this moment, my favorite Features song. This is definitely the strongest batch of songs since the majority of the "Exhibit A" material made it's debut 2.5 years ago.

i've not heard any of those. atleast i don't think i have. but i like 'love is golden' i hope that song hasn't gone away.

also, if anybody wanted to share the new songs with me, i wouldn't complain.

Of course it's dark. It's a suicide note

For me, its a complete toss up between Hold and Arcata. I voted for Arcata though, simply because Hold reminds me of that song by the Archies.

beep.

"Foundation's Cracked" has some pretty great lyrics too. And while I think most of the songs on here are amazingly awesome, "Winded" I do like in the least.

I also voted for "Hold." It was given a venerable position in the set list at the last show (just before "Thursday"). I wonder if that's a sign that the band sees it as one of their next big songs.

"Gates of Hell" has whistling, and that's always appreciated!
