Purists Beware!! This isn't a greatest hits album. It's a collection of re-recorded Chameleons songs done acoustically and it's superb. The songs resonate with honest melodic sound that will instantly captivate you. If you haven't added this to your collection. It's a must. I buy a great deal of music every month and rarely listen to something so often as I have with this release.

I'm a huge fan of the Chameleons UK and saw them in the late 80's. They're incredible! I was pleased to see that they were back at it again. This cd is nice from the standpoint that it was great to hear them play, but the disc is mellower and tamer than their previous works. If this is your first intro to the band it may disappoint. Script of the Bridge is a much better intro to the boys. This disc had some soft spots that just made me feel like the I was getting old(I already get that feeling enopugh). The reworking of "Swamp Thing" just makes you yearn for the original. Some of Mark's vocals just seem too coffee-house and the power guitars are sadly missing. The lyrics and songs are all quite pleasant.

I think this is my favorite album of all time. I don't understand why Chameleons are not top 40. They are pop geniuses. The Fan and the Bellows is the perfect opener. Chameleons vocals have never been better. Mark Burgess is the greatest. He leads the band through old and three newer songs. These are my favorite versions. If you are a Chameleons fan this is a must. If you have never heard them this is a perfect place to start!
Thanks,
