Script of the Bridge is the best post-punk album, one of the best albums overall. It has so many great ideas in every song, the atmosphere and emotion on the record is just unmatched and there are so many powerful, larger than life moments in the album like the chorus in 'Monkeyland' and the bridge part on 'Thursday's Child'.

Heard a lot of people talking about how good Script of the Bridge was and listened to it for the first time. I gotta say this is easily in the top 3 best post punk albums I've heard, it might actually be the best post punk album.

I didn't "get " them until I listened to Time the End of Time. Now I can't stop. What a beautiful band.

Dream pop, gothic rock-inflected post-punk. No wonder they’re my (underrated) favorites in the genre!!

To all the people asking why they are not more well-known The Chameleons were the victims of a particular mistake for bands (UK bands at least) in the 80s: from about 1982, if you are an 'alternative' band, do not sign to a major label. You lose cred, could not appear in the Independent charts, and Indie labels - through Rough Trade - had solved the biggest drawback to being on an Indie label before the early mid 80s (distribution). You 'rose without trace' by signing to a major. So, Perfume Garden, for instance would be (even) more of an 'indie classic' if it had been *actually* indie.

Что Script of the bridge великий альбом и так понятно, а вот релизы нулевых, никогда не вызывавшие у меня интереса, оказывается тоже не лишены светлых моментов, в этом году открыл их для себя заново. А по поводу сравнений с ДД, какая-то мания всё мерить Кертисами, тут никаких аналогий быть не может, обе группы из Британии и на этом общее у них заканчивается, уж уместнее сравнивать с упомянутыми The Church как с еще одним представителем прекрасного эфирного пост-панка, вот тут Хамелеонов определил бы на первое место, а Черч на почётное второе.

The Church (I think, it is the closest to The Chameleons I ever heard), Sad Lovers and Giants (they use a lot of beautiful, soft & absorbing synth lines), Little Nemo (similar dreamy and spring mood), Pink Turns Blue and maybe Siglo XX (they're a little bit darker). Also, you can try Burgess' projects and related bands - The Sun and Moon, Black Swan Lane (only first 2 albums).

Best band in 1983, still the best band in 2022. I still remember my happiness in 1983 when I listened to a copy of Script of the Bridge at a local record store in my small hometown in northern Sweden. Became a must-buy, fast home and then at the highest volume "Don't Fall", "Second Skin".

Wow, looks like a great vibe with Mark coming into the crowd! The front rows in Glasgow had everyone bouncing and singing everywhere, seemed like a good energy even further at the back. Probably a top 2 gig for me, tied up with Mogwai's 4 hour long 20th anniversary set (also in Glasgow).

Альбом Script of the Bridge наполнен хитами сверху донизу. Что кстати и позволяет львиной доли аудитории почтового панка считать британских хамелеонов лучшей группой в своём жанре. Прекрасный гитарно-ориентированный инструментал, красивая мелодика, ненавязчивый вокал... Сравнения с Joy Division, думаю, здесь не совсем корректны будут. Всё-таки Joy Division это история, когда The Chameleons - последователи. Что касается влияния на всяческих Interpol и прочих ривайвал, альтернативщиков, то хз, я просто такое не слушаю. На мой взгляд, у The Chameleons много общего прежде всего с Killing Joke определённого периода - Brighter than a thousand suns по-любому, заходит фэнам хамелеонов. А также у The Psychedelic Furs было нечто похожее. Из более современного могу посоветовать немецких готов Lady Besery's Garden - местами весьма зеркальная атмосфера.

The tracks from Tripping Dogs concert album from 1990 is recommended if you're looking for a classic post-punk (gothic rock) compilation which has the best tracks from Script of the Bridge and What Does Anything Mean? Basically
