Still vibrant.
Jun 30 2008
By Vajra Wright
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Twenty-five years after its original release, The Chameleons' "Script of the Bridge" album is still a testament to the timeless nature of the music the lads from Madchester penned so long ago. Bands today are still name (and riff!) dropping The Chameleons. Honestly, if you played this to the uninitiated, chances are they'd think it was released recently.
To listen to this album is to take a trip down the rabbit hole. A strange and incredible journey that leads you to lands bleak and hopeless and heights dizzying and hopeful. In this package, you're offered balm for the Big Sad and hope that "this roaring silence won't devour us all".
An album most certainly for artists, by artists.
Welcome home.

"Loudness War" Mastering - But There's an Alternative.
Jun 27 2012
By JB
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
For those disappointed in the compressed, limited "Loudness War" mastering of this release, there is now an alternative.
Blue Apple Music has released a 2012 reissue of this album that has been professionally remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Guy Massey & Steve Rooke. The disc even comes with a message on it explaining to "turn up the volume". The album was released as a 2xLP + CD (1000 copies) and a standalone CD version (500 copies).
I purchased the standalone CD version, which unfortunately comes in a mini-LP sleeve with no liner notes or bonus tracks...STILL for the phenomenal upgrade in sound quality this 2012 disc is 100% worth it. It sounds LEAGUES better than the old 90s CD reissue, what you'd get here, or even an original 80s LP.
To sum up, if you actually care about sound quality and want something that's closer to the band's vision of what the album is supposed to sound like, avoid this release and track down the SUPERIOR 2012 Abbey Road Remaster from Blue Apple. You'll probably have to go to their website, which is where I purchased my copy.

timeless classic
Aug 26 2008

Format:Audio CD
If you are a fan of 80's rock/punk then this is a must have album. Almost every song is single-quality. Beginning with the rollicking 'Don't Fall' and concluding with the understated 'View from a Hill', each song has its own character and appeal. The lyrics, instrumentation and arrangements blend together seamlessly.
These guys played with U2 and other major bands back in the early 80's. Unfortunately, just when the band was coming to tour the US in 1987, they abruptly disbanded following the sudden death of band manager Tony Fletcher who died in a car accident in New York. There have been subsequent attempts to resurrect the band notably the 2002 release 'Why Call It Anything?'.
