Good God's Urge is the second and last album by Porno for Pyros. It was released on May 28, 1996. The band went on a brief hiatus shortly after this album's release because guitarist Peter DiStefano was diagnosed with cancer.
On this second album, Porno for Pyros changed their style. Instead of their funky alternative rock style from the first album, they play a rather exotic music with folklore elements.
The only single released from the album was "Tahitian Moon".
Bassist Mike Watt replaced bassist Martyn LeNoble partway through the recording of the album, and then played on the tour in support of the album.
The song "Porpoise Head" features Daniel Ash, David J, and Kevin Haskins from Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, and The Bubblemen.
