Above – Mad Season – LP – Brand New Vinyl (Arrives in 20days)

Mad Season’s ‘ABOVE’ stands as a singular, luminous flash in the annals of 90s rock—a collaboration that united members of Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, and Screaming Trees at the height of Seattle’s creative ferment. This lone studio album, released in 1995, is charged with the restless energy and vulnerability of musicians pushing past their own boundaries. Layne Staley’s voice is spectral and deeply affecting, carrying confessional lyrics rooted in struggle and fleeting hope. Tracks like ‘River of Deceit’ and ‘Wake Up’ pulse with bluesy melancholy and brooding introspection, while the band’s improvisational chemistry gives the record a rare, unforced immediacy. ‘ABOVE’ is more than a grunge artifact—it’s a snapshot of artists grappling with their demons, capturing both the darkness and the possibility of redemption. For collectors and listeners, this album is essential: it’s a testament to the power of collaboration and the emotional depth that defined a generation. Owning this on vinyl isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about experiencing a moment in time, preserved with all its raw beauty and sorrow.
