Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is pure, unadulterated LAYNE STALEY, who was and is the ONLY TRUE VOICE AND FACE OF ALICE IN CHAINS, this whole album was written by Layne including the artwork on the cover. This was his only solo album that was made after Alice In Chains broke up. This is also the last album made before his cruel death. This album shows his many sides of genius, creativity, awsome talent, deep emotion, soulful lyrics and pure sweetness with variations of grunge sound that is PURELY SWEET, HONEY DRIPPING, LAYNE and sweet Seattle sound!!!! Oh, how I miss you Layne!!!

I was spending my last night of vacation rehashing life inspiring music from my past through my amped Klipsch 1's when I decided to look up Mad Season & anything I might have missed. I am a die hard Layne fan & have been since I first saw the video for Man in the Box way back when MTV actually played music & so much so that my wife & I changed our daughters middle name to Layne upon finalization of adoption.I came across this scheduled release for the "box set" & couldn't believe my eyes! Any release of compiled audio & video footage of their short existence is a long awaited present for people who miss the "Long Gone Day". Thanks Mike! BTW your guitar work is superior.
