As Goo as Dead is the breakthrough release from Illinois-based rock band Local H. It was released in April 1996 on Island Records. This album is notable for including some of Local H's most recognizable songs, including "High-Fivin' MF," "Fritz's Corner," and "Eddie Vedder," as well as the hit "Bound For The Floor," which reached #5 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart and ultimately became Local H's most popular single. The album's title comes from a line in "Eddie Vedder" ("You go ahead, as good as dead, coming to a head, you're as good as dead.."). The album received a Parental Advisory sticker due to heavy profanity on several tracks, perhaps most notably within the song "High-Fiving MF."
