Review

Melody Maker (7/1/95, p.38) - "...At its best, it's a Country Sabbath combination of Alice and the Trees, in particular `I'm Above' and `Long Gone Day'...both of which make ABOVE at least a compulsory listen....A refreshing holiday from the pressures of corporate ultra-stardom..."

Product note

Mad Season: Layne Staley (vocals, guitar); Mike McCready (acoustic & electric guitars); Barrett Martin (cello, vibraphone, marimba, acoustic bass, drums, percussion); John Baker Saunders (electric bass).
Additional personnel: Mark Lanegan (vocals); Nalgas Sin Carne (saxophone).
Recorded at Bad Animals, Seattle, Washington.
The black and white lithographs by Layne Staley that dot the cover and liner notes of ABOVE are a subtle hint of what lies in wait on this disc. Gray shades of music ebb along, seared by an occasional lead instrument. Besides designing the artwork, Staley sings, while Pearl Jam's Mike McCready provides six-string back-up alongside bass player John Baker Saunders and Screaming Trees drummer/multi-instrumentalist Barrett Martin.
ABOVE aches with the pain of living in a world streaked by deception, betrayal and disgust. Lumbering rhythms occasionally rumble into Sabbathville ("X-Ray Mind" and "Lifeless Dead"). Staley nods through the sinuous confines of "Long Gone Day," coasting on a surreal Brazilian beat prodded along by Martin's vibraphone and Nalgas Sin Carne's sax solo. This hour of emotional bloodletting ends with a convoluted two-part piece: The instrumental "November Hotel" starts with a faraway tribal beat that builds up gradually as McCready's guitar eases in and unleashes a wave of effects-laden riffs that flow into a disembodied declaration of solitude called "All Alone."
