UPDATE: Okay kids, sorry this post went MIA for a little bit. I spoke to Rollum from The Features and apparently someone SERIOUSLY jumped the gun when this was released digitally, and it's going to be taken down ASAP (if it hasn't already). The band is really thrilled that everyone loves the album, but the original idea was to release Some Kind of Salvation on vinyl first, and they in no way planned on having the digital version available before they had something big and gorgeous and LP-alicious to get into your hot little hands. That's still the plan at this point - the LP should be out in August, and the CD and digital version should see a release in October.
I know, I know, October is forever away. But Some Kind of Salvation will be spinning on your turntables soon enough, and in the meantime I've gotta respect the fact that the band wants the album to make its debut as a physical release.
I'll let you know as soon as I get any additional details, and I'm going to go back to not being a big tease and refraining from talking about the album (other than on the radio - it's still fair game to play tunes on the show). You still get to check out my favorite track on the record though:
"Lions"
word on the street is that this won't last long.. I don't thnk they expected it to be online so fast and I'd bet good money it comes down real soon.

Damn! Both sites say only for US customers. That totally sucks. I was totally gonna buy it.

CD's will be available along with the LP... or so it's been said. This band's been keeping yer boy guessing for going on a decade at this point, so who knows?
This album is excellent, though. Lions is hot, but Drawing Board is my jam. How 'bout those All Things Must Pass horns? Bad Ass.

I'm surprised 'White Flag' didn't make the cut. That's too bad.
Overall this looks stellar.

I can't enough of it. It's renewed my faith in the band, which had admittedly waned to the point that I wasn't even tempted by the last couple of local shows...

The Features never disappoint! Some Kind of Salvation is excellent.
The album (digital) appears to still be available on both amazon and lala.com by the way.

Fantastic album, bought it when I saw the link. If it's still available, buy it. Much better than Exhibit A (and that was a really good album!).
;)
Peace, love, & LPs,
