and a lot more reverb & echo on the chams guitars
if it helps, the track you are most likely to have heard is 'swamp thing', and that's from ST.
ST is generally regarded as the point where the band went a bit too american indie/college rock and lost their uniqueness. they split up not long after that. while i agree its probably their most accessible sounding album (a term often used as a criticism), its still an absolute classic and contains some stunnign songs, such as caution, soul in isolation, etc etc

Strange Times is my most played Chams album, I wouldn't say it shared any similarities to FALAA in production or style, next up I'd go for What does Anything Mean, Basically (my most enduring Chams album), I find the production on Script of the Bridge a bit sparse and gloomy and expect to be shouted down for this

Strange Times is i'm with you completely on that one, herr blast
script has some very fab songs on, but TBH i find there isn't the variety of
texture on the individual song production for me... some of them tend to merge into one, despite them all being classic songs...

Boss!
but...
I do know a certain member in Forres who would disagree with oor appraisals, maybe a split to
General Chat would be appropriate as a nice bit of ChamChat is allas welcome

bad, just the same.

Script of the bridge is one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
Strange times and WDAMB are great too but Script .......

I like them all...BUT... WDAMB to me is the most enduring, beautiful, melodic album I have, it's the album I love to play people who've never heard of them.
plus the cd now has
in shreds tagged on the end

Speaking of, I think the Komodo Dragon exhibit's still open; might be worth seeing!
