Released on March 14, 1995, Above is the only studio album by the Seattle-based supergroup Mad Season, featuring Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), John Baker Saunders (The Walkabouts), and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees). The album is a haunting blend of grunge, blues, and alternative rock, capturing the raw emotional power of the mid-’90s Seattle sound while standing apart for its introspective and atmospheric qualities.
Thematically, Above delves into addiction, loss, love, and redemption, with Layne Staley’s poignant lyrics and deeply emotive vocals at the forefront. Tracks like “River of Deceit”, “I Don’t Know Anything”, and “Wake Up” showcase the band’s ability to balance heavy, brooding riffs with moments of vulnerability and melodic beauty. The album also features a guest appearance by Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) on tracks like “Long Gone Day”, adding a soulful layer to the record.
Above is widely regarded as a masterpiece of the grunge era, notable for its raw honesty and musical experimentation. Its timeless quality and emotional depth have cemented it as a landmark release, resonating with listeners long after its debut.
