Mad Season was a supergroup consisting of members from some of Seattle's best known bands at the time, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Screaming Trees. Their sole release, Above is an under appreciated gem. Mike McCready's bluesy guitar work paired with Barrett Martin's melodic percussion work create a great back drop for Layne Staley's enigmatic vocals, the complete package of which is exciting and sounds nothing like any of the participating artists' main projects.
The artwork for the release was all designed by Layne Staley, and it is so immediately recognizable and memorable that long before I ever heard the record, I was completely aware of the art.
