Words are not enough to define this album, which embodies not only an important chapter in the music scene of the '90s but also, and above all, an attempt at rebirth for us, determined to close that 'crazy season' marked by drug abuse. A descent into the abyss that offers no escape, told with bitter awareness through the voice and words of Layne Staley, accompanied on this journey by the wonderful Mike McCready, John Baker Saunders, and Barrett Martin. An essential listen; just uttering 'Long gone day' sends chills down my spine.
