Chrome largely abandoned conventional rock compositions, instead employing cut up and collage techniques and heavily processed sound to create a kind of sci-fi punk sound. They made use of tape loops, samples, noisescapes, synthesizers and strange guitar sounds.
Following Alien Soundtracks, John Lambdin left Chrome, and Gary Spain gradually played less of an active role in the band, leaving a core of Helios Creed and Damon Edge to explore their own experiments with new members. The Creed/Edge collaboration lead to a number of more albums, including Half Machine Lip Moves (making best album lists by Wire Magazine and Julian Cope), Read Only Memory, Red Exposure, Blood On the Moon, 3rd from the Sun and No Humans Allowed.
In 1983 Edge moved to Paris with his wife, where he formed a new lineup of Chrome, releasing a number of albums without Helios Creed, starting with Into the Eyes of the Zombie King, until Edge's death in 1995. Helios Creed formed a new version of Chrome with both new and previous members, shortly after Edge's passing. The Helios-lead Chrome releasing their first album, Retro Transmission, in 1997, and have never officially broken up. They also toured from 1997 to 2001. The last released Chrome album was 2002's Angel of the Clouds, which was pieced together from unused tapes featuring Damon Edge.
Both Damon Edge and Helios Creed have a number of solo, non-Chrome titled albums.

The song "Get They Ass Kick" by Chrome, Lil' Scrappy, and Lil' Wyte is a heavily aggressive and explicit track that talks about the consequences of talking and acting tough in the streets. The chorus repeats the lines "Somebody gon' get they ass kick, somebody gon' get they wig split," which is a foreboding warning to anyone who thinks they can talk or act tough without consequences. The song features verses from each of the three artists, all of which speak on different aspects of street life and the repercussions of disrespect.
The first verse by Project Pat talks about how he is the main person on the block and how he won't tolerate anyone talking down to him or his crew. He warns anyone who tries to challenge him or his reputation that they'll end up dead in a ditch somewhere. Chrome then takes over with a verse that asserts his dominance, saying that he's not afraid of anyone and he'll hurt anyone that thinks he's a sucker. He calls out those who speak tough but can't back it up and warns them that he and his crew will come after them.
Lil' Scrappy's verse is a warning to those who think they're the biggest and baddest on the block. He reminds them that even OGs get taken out sometimes and that if they keep talking tough, they'll end up laid out somewhere no one can find them. Lil' Wyte's verse talks about how he's known all over, from Memphis to ATL, and how he's part of the HCP gang. He mixes up people's brains with his music and talent, making them fall out of the sky like rain.
Overall, "Get They Ass Kick" is a tough and gritty song that emphasizes the importance of respect in the streets. It warns against talking tough without being able to back it up and highlights the consequences of disrespecting those who hold power. The song speaks to the realities of life on the streets and the need to protect oneself and one's crew in a violent world.
