Admittedly I have not listened to them in several years, but I had the impression that the second one (from 1982) was translated better than the first, more to maintain the feel of the songs instead of just a translation. Like you, I did feel that the first one was too much of a direct translation. I am nevertheless glad tthat Gabriel made the two German ones.
Haven't tried number two as I was so put off by the first (literal) attempt, might want to give it a try some day if you say it's better…

Yeah but they did pick Britney Spears, so that clearly shows they do know a thing or two about
real American heroes.
BTW anybody remember "Five minutes
after I die" by US industrial monster Blackhouse ? Now that's what I call oral torture !

Script of the Bridge (1983)
Although commercial success eluded this Greater Manchester quartet, their influence stretches from the Verve to Interpol to Coldplay. This timeless debut justifies the fuss with plangent, intertwining guitars and instantly anthemic songs that yearn for childhood innocence and rage powerfully against the world.
A big thanks for this post!
I didn't knew the Chameleons, and got a listen to this album and immediately loved it. In a certain way, it reminds me of Red Lorry'.

Hint:almost all music journalists do that mistake
