Many consider their three studio albums over-produced, though truth be told, compared to other early to mid-eighties recordings, they don't sound dated at all. Unlike other purveyors of Post-Punk who took a decidedly commercial turn in the mid-eighties, The Chameleons traveled into even darker territory. What such revisionism overlooks is how consistently distinctive and uncompromising The Chameleons were. While it is true that they never found a level of success matching the quality of their work, such descriptions seem to attempt to mythologize them as something like the Big Star of the eighties, a band tragically ignored and thus sent down a path of self-destruction. It is common to hear The Chameleons described as the greatest band of the eighties no one knows about. Don't know what happened, but I don't think I got home tonight."
