Reviews

This is a fairly flat and airless but decent cd release. Adequate at least.
The Chameleons' music and performance are brilliant, colorful, expressive.
Like a lot of their work, it has a strong and deep emotional core. Gods, and honestly, one of the few bands that can move me to tears. Have you heard a band like that?
New Wave? Post punk? Ethereal? College rock? Alternative? Indie rock? Whatever.
They are in a league of their own. This record illustrates that.
Buy (nearly) everything they released, if you are into post punk, melodic, guitar-centric rock music. Indispensable.
