Script of the Bridge is the debut studio album by the Chameleons, which was released on 8 August 1983 by record label Statik.
Andrew Welsh of Daily Record wrote that "echoes of the Chameleons' distinctive sound can still be heard today in bands as diverse as the Killers (but without the penchant for angst), Editors and even Pigeon Detectives." Neige, the leader of the French black metal band Alcest, said about the album, "the two guitars were very melodic and catchy, and most of the time playing different parts that work together harmoniously. You can hear the huge influence they had on bands like Interpol or Editors". Sweet Trip vocalist Valerie Cooper named the album as an inspiration for "how to appeal to your serene forlorn side you know you love to feel the loneliness."
