Title: | Mad Season Above |
Mad Season's "Above" is a 1995 album that stands as a powerful and haunting testament to the talent of the musicians involved. The band featured Layne Staley of Alice in Chains on vocals, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam on guitar, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees on drums, and John Baker Saunders on bass. The album is a fusion of grunge, blues, and classic rock, with lyrics that explore themes of addiction, depression, and personal struggle.
The album features ten tracks, all of which showcase the band's incredible musicianship and emotional depth. The opening track, "Wake Up," features Staley's haunting vocals over a bluesy guitar riff and a driving rhythm section. Other standout tracks on the album include "River of Deceit," "I Don't Know Anything," and "Long Gone Day," all of which feature McCready's innovative guitar playing and Staley's soulful vocals.
One of the most impressive things about "Above" is the way that the band was able to create a cohesive and unified sound despite the disparate influences of the individual members. The album features a range of styles and genres, from hard rock to folk to blues, but it all comes together in a way that feels organic and natural.
Sadly, Mad Season was short-lived, and the band dissolved after just one album and a handful of live performances. However, "Above" remains a powerful and enduring work that stands as a testament to the talent of its members and the power of music to heal and inspire.
In conclusion, Mad Season's "Above" is a masterpiece of grunge and blues that showcases the incredible talent of its members. The album's blend of hard rock, folk, and blues creates a unique and innovative sound that is both haunting and beautiful. If you're a fan of grunge, blues, or classic rock, "Above" is an essential album that should not be missed.

Sent In By: Jason on 29 March 2024I love this shop. Simple statement I know, I can't put in more succinctly. Always satisfied with my purchases and the customer service has been fantastic with all my inquiries. I couldn't recommend Discrepancy Records enough. A very happy vinyl camper here.
Death in Vegas - Dead Elvis
Sent In By: Chris on 27 March 2024I have been searching for this on vinyl for a while. So glad I came across it at Discrepancy Records. The LP arrived in good time and well packaged. Always easy and a pleasure dealing with Discrepancy Records. Thank you.
Best Of The Corrs
Sent In By: Peter on 25 March 2024Best Of The Corrs on gold vinyl is a great double album of hits. Discrepancy Records did a great job in dispatching the order quickly and also very securely packing packing the album. It is important to note the LPs were in their own separate liner external to the sleeve so there is no damage to the edges of the sleeve by the records during transit. I have ordered two more albums (one is the Dark Side Of The Moon laser picture disc preorder)and I look forward to purchasing many more albums in the future :-)
