Review by Javier M. Piedragil Gálvez

Script of the Bridge, the debut album by Chameleons UK, is a post-punk masterpiece that showcases the band's unique sound and poetic lyrics. Released in 1983, the album features ten tracks that blend atmospheric guitars, driving rhythms, and Mark Burgess's distinctive vocals.

The album opens with "Don't Fall," a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features jangly guitars and Burgess's emotive vocals, which convey a sense of urgency and desperation. "Monkeyland" and "Second Skin" are other standout tracks that showcase the band's ability to create complex, layered arrangements that are both melodic and atmospheric.

The album's title track, "Script of the Bridge," is a brooding, atmospheric masterpiece that features haunting guitar lines and Burgess's introspective lyrics. The song builds to a powerful crescendo, with Burgess's vocals soaring over the driving rhythm section.
