Coma Chameleon

Coma Chameleon is a 2008 album by the German punk rock band Donots. Stylistically, the album marks a notable shift from the bands pop punk and punk rock roots (which are still present on some songs) towards a more mature, melancholic alternative rock sound. Singer Ingo Knollmann described the shift in an interview where he labelled Coma Chameleon as the first album of "Donots 2.0".

Bonus tracks

 * "City Lights" (Japanese bonus track)
 * "Second Best" (iTunes bonus track)
 * "Your Life Without You" (exclusive bonus track) – When Coma Chameleon was newly released, the Donots spread the word that everyone who would send in a picture of himself with the new record would get called by a member of the band. They also sent all these people the track "Your Life Without You" via email.

"Drag the River" was originally meant to be a bonus track at a German digital download site, but was changed at the last minute to be "City Lights". "Drag the River" and "Let Me Let You Down" have since been released on the Stop the Clocks EP on June 6, 2008.
