Product Description

.

Amazon.com

Alice in Chains vocalist Layne Staley teams with Seattle pals Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees) in the tradition of other part-time grunge aggregations like Brad and Hater. These 10 numbers--mostly somber, acoustic-hued ballads like the single "River of Deceit"--are a therapeutic soul-cleansing for the troubled Staley. Core fans of any of the aforementioned bands will rank this with the solo work of Screaming Tree frontman Mark Lanegan (a guest vocalist here). --Jeff Bateman

Sounds Stellar Dynamically... but is Noisy Vinyl
Mad Season was a “SuperGroup”originally founded by Mike McCready; lead guitarist of PearlJam,and JohnBakerSanders Bass guitar,Standing Bass of “The WalkAbouts”who actually first met @ a drug rehab in Minneapolis,after treatment they both headed back to Seattle and recruited BarrettMartin on Drums and Alice in Chains’ lead singer Layne Staley to form “TheGacyBunch”,thankfully changed their name to MadSeason , (there is a story behind both band names so look it up if interested)anyway this album “ABOVE” went Gold in the U.S.and would be the only album EVER recorded by the band because Layne Staley died4/5/02,and John Baker Sanders died 1/15/99, both men died from Heroin OverDoses unfortunately but they left behind an album that is just Beautifully Crafted by 4 professional musicians who weren’t afraid to take musical chances and really push the boundaries of a music genre to at times have developed a new genre all by itself I mean we have a combination of grunge guitar/ jyrics with a blue sax bongos that goes very well together this album is mind blowing good I bought the Limited Edition Gatefold Music on Vinyl version imported from the Netherlands and to be perfectly honest I have cleaned this album multiple times , I have a decent turntable and audio system... but this pressing is very noisy with snaps , crackles and pops and from Music on Vinyls reputation , this should not be the case dynamically this album is Stellar and the highs are extremely clear , the middle are also crystal but all the dead wax is noisy as hell , this is not a deal breaker at least you can rest assure that this pressing came from its original analog source not from digital or cd or it wouldn’t have these flaws , You must buy this album

    It sounds beautiful. absolutely beautiful. What more needs to be said? (The only complaint is with the cover art. I wish that the cover art was the full size of the cover. I know it's a weird gripe, but I really love that picture and I wish it was more prominent.) It comes with 4 previously unreleased songs as well. I thought that was pretty cool, considering everyone who's heard this album's only real complaint is that they didn't release more material.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Seattle Sludge
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I tell you people I forgot just how good this album really was. Back when it first came out I had not purchased a CD player (young and didn't save money very efficiently) so I had this on cassette. Fast forward almost 20 odd years and I now have 600 CD players strung through two houses and a multitude of vehicles (an exageration of course) I happen upon it on Amazon and think to myself, yeah, I think that was good if memory serves me. So I buy it and I can say that with out a doubt this is a great little album.

    The thing is that it lacks some of the "polish" of certain studio recordings but those little nuances make this more of a boutique album from the late great "Nineties Seattle Sludge" that was grunge.
    River of Decepit tells a tale for what I am sure is a page torn right from the book of Layne Staley's short and ultimately tragic life. He was a fantastic singer and songwriter. He knew just how to captivate his audience. His lyrics were like "Junkie Poetry" Don't get me wrong, I don't condone the lifestyle or the self destructiveness that usually accompanies being a junkie and their lives are far from poetic but he seemed to almost be telling cautionary tales of woe because he was living it right then and there.

    This album, for Layne, is a somewhat softer side and tonealy different from his Alice In Chains offerings. Let's not forget that Mike McCready (of Pearl Jam fame)Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees)and John Baker Saunders (The Walkabouts) were the other major driving forces behind this album. That's quite a pedigree to have on one album. I guess I always loved the comradery that the Seattle bands seemed to have with one another and they all seemed happy for their contemporaries successes.
    The first 5 songs are in my opinion the best. Only 5 you say, well think of it like this, how many musicians would kill for 5 hit songs on one album? I tell you how many . . . All of them.

    Wake up - The sting of a love affair gone sour, X-ray Mind - The slow burn of distrust, River of Decepit - I believe it is self decepit, I'm Above - a great punk vibe, Artificial Red - a Slow blues fueled A** Kicker
    You'll likely never hear much music like this again and sadly two of the four men here are dead, due to heavy drug use and the overdoses that accompanied both of their last trips. R. I. P. Layne and J.B. and if you liked ninties grunge, here you go, in a very pure form from 4 vastly different influences "Mad Season" ABOVE.

    Magnifica Reedición de Above album mitico. El álbum "Above" fue grabado en Seattle, Washington, en el Bad Animals Studio (co-propiedad de Ann y Nancy Wilson de Heart), y co-producido por la banda y el ingeniero de sonido de Pearl Jam, Brett Eliason, tiene 10 canciones e incluye las voces y letras adicionales de Mark Lanegan. El álbum fue lanzado 14 de marzo de 1995 a través de Columbia Records. El álbum completo refleja los sentimientos más profundos y honestos de Layne Staley, hermoso artwork del álbum, creado íntegramente por Layne Staley. Aparte de la portada del álbum, un dibujo inspirado en una fotografía en que aparece Layne junto a su novia Demri Lara Parrot, el disco incluye 3 dibujos más. En la mayoría, se puede aprecíar que es el mismo Layne el que aparece en aquellos dibujos. Realmente, es un gran plus del álbum tener estos dibujos creados por Layne, pues permiten expandir su arte, y que están muy relacionados con lo que él estaba sintiendo y su búsqueda espiritual.

    Bon....on ne va pas répéter ce qu'on très bien dit les amazonautes précédents. Mad Season est un supergroupe, résultat de la réunion en 1995 de plusieurs membres de trois formations réputées "grunge" (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains et Screaming Trees) pour la réalisation d'un projet unique : "Above". Mais si ce groupe éphémère peut être qualifié de grunge, qu'en est-il de l'album ?

    Au vu des éléments caractéristiques de ce courant musical, il n'y a guère de doute à avoir : on retrouve bien le chant trainant et quelque peu désabusé, l'alternance de sons clairs et saturés, les moments de calme et de tempête sonique ainsi que les suites harmoniques tarabiscotés desquelles n'émergent aucune mélodie vraiment identifiable...Pour autant, on est loin de la fureur bruitiste d'un "Bleach" ou d'un "Bad Motor Finger". Ici, le grunge se fait atmosphérique, tempéré, subtil, il explore des territoires inconnus, utilise des rythmiques tribales ("X ray Mind", "november hotel") et recourt même à des instruments inhabituels en rock tels le saxophone, le vibraphone ou les percussions ("Long gone day").

    Dès le premier morceau, "wake up", l'attention est captée, il y a d'abord cette basse lourde et hypnotique et puis ce chant..., le regretté Layne Staley, feu chanteur d'Alice in Chains, aura rarement aussi bien chanté... Ecoutez "River of deceit", du grand art ! Les parties guitares ne sont pas en reste; Mike Mc Cready, guitariste de Pearl Jam, alterne arpèges cristallins et rythmiques plombées ("I'm above", "lifeless dead", "I don't known anything"), flirtant parfois avec un power blues du plus bel effet ("artificial red"). Le son est impeccable et l'on remarque même quelques effets ping pong de spatialisation assez marrants ("November Hotel"). En clair, le groupe s'est fait plaisir en essayant des trucs inhabituels et l'alchimie fonctionne. C'est frais, inspiré et remarquablement interprété. Un bon, un très bon, un grand disque de rock, moderne et original !

    L'expérience de ce supergroupe grunge est à rapprocher d'un autre projet: Temple of the Dog Temple Of The Dog qui réunit en 1991 des membres de Pearl Jam, Soungarden et Mother Love Bone, pour un projet unique mais, à mon sens, plus classique et moins réussi...

    Et dire qu'il m'aura fallu 15 ans pour découvrir cet album !
