As Good as Dead is the second album released by Illinois-based alternative rock duo 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-Fiving MF", "Fritz's Corner", "Eddie Vedder", and the hit "Bound for the Floor". The album's title comes from a line in the song "Eddie Vedder". Some prints of the album received a Parental Advisory sticker due to perhaps most notably the song "High-Fiving MF" and some others.
