Album Description Fittingly enough, these Mancunian icons once sang "It's been a long time Jack, welcome back". Indeed. The Chameleons, the 80s' greatest unacknowledged geniuses, broke up in 1987 just when their future looked brightest & they should havetaken their rightful place alongside bands like U2 and Echo & The Bunnymen. Now they're back again with a new 10 trackalbum, each an original & delectable work of art that sound as good individually as they do collectively. Each proves why these four sons of Manchester, England are as strong as ever: they continue to hone their unique talent for combining brilliant songwriting with enticing melodies and atmospheric backdrops that grow more addictive with each additional listening like every lethal drug. Those amazed by the upbeat version of "Indian" heard during their recent concerts will find their drool hitting the floor again with the version found here. Not to be missed. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFullcrum of Boston fullcrum115 | Boston | 10/21/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the long awaited 4th studio CD. I have listened to the Chameleons for over 20 years and when I heard they had a 4th cd I had to get it. I was not disapointed! From start to finish its a great CD. My favorite songs on the CD is Dangerous Land and Shades. I have to confess, I seen the Chameleons live and I must say they are the greatest live band.............bar none. I met them after the show and they are truely genuine and friendly people so in my eyes they can do no wrong. Get this CD and while you're at it get all the Chameleon CDs you can get your hands on. You will have music that will last a life time..............." After 15 Years, this is what they come up with? Dustin H. Feldhaus | Chino Hills, Ca USA | 06/23/2006 (1 out of 5 stars) "I know that we all have our differing opinions and after reading the reviews on this CD I recognize all of these differences in contrast.
I've listened to and loved the Chameleons for many many years now, even followed many of their post break-up incarnations. However, this CD has got to be one of the most dissapointing releases I've ever heard from as talented a band as the Chameleons. After 15 Years of waiting and hoping for a miracle to happen, this is what they come up with? It's a tragedy and a let down. Furthermore, I think that this will seal the coffin on them reuniting for another recording session. The only song that is worthwhile on the album is Miracles and Wonders. The rest is just a bunch mediocre sounds coupled with uninspiring lyrics. I had the honor not too long ago to meet the singer, Mark Burgess, at one of his solo shows. He was a gracious and friendly guy. But if I had the unabashed opportunity to express my opinion about this CD to him, he'd probably curse me till the day I die. I'm sorry Mark, but you and the guys fell too short on this one. I'll always love you, but I know you could've done much much better." |
