5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-03-07

If you like alternative music, then you'll love this band. If you like Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Deftones, or the likes, then give them a try... Despite being seen as an one hit wonder band, every song is as enjoyable as any other. I never skip any song while listening to them.

3 out of 5 stars Nirvanabees with a catchy single.......2006-04-19

"Bound for the floor" got steady radio play on the late, lamented WDRE in 1996, and why shouldn't it have? The fragmented guitar chords are very catchy and distinctive. Musically, these guys seem to fit somewhere between Slverchair and Failure in the school of Nirvana soundalikes. This isn't a bad album by any stretch, it's just a very nondescript...generic if you'd like...document of where indie rock was at post-Cobain, yet before godawful stuff like Limp Bizkit and MTV buried it as far as the mainstream is concerned. No one would ever accuse me of being anywhere on the radar, what with Metal Machine Music and the Conet Project being staples in my household. Maybe that's why Local H doesn't really do it for me...it's not weird enough, they were aiming at the radio and those fifteen year old girls with the peace frogs. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, but will anyone be listening to this album in 30 years? 20?

5 out of 5 stars And you just dont get it........ You know your so pathetic.......2005-12-04

Those lyrics were stuck in my head for about a month after listening to BOUND FOR THE FLOOR. I bought this album because of that song and I literally and i mean LITERALLY have heard the song over 100 times and I never get tired of it. BOUND FOR THE FLOOR is definatly one of my favorite rock song of all time, but it isn't my favorite rocks song of all times it just one of my favorites, but serously it really is a catchy song. You havent heard the song yet listen to it. ps; the other tracks arent all that good.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Introduction to Local H.......2005-11-30

Local H is one of the first bands that I got acquainted with strictly through my own curiosity: I saw "As Good As Dead" at the store, and I bought it. I didn't know any of the songs, and was able to appreciate the album immediately for what it is: a great collection of wonderful music. Each track on this album could be a hit.
What is most amazing is the great versatility of this band. A well-written, tender "Eddie Vedder" is juxtaposed with the hard, screaming vocals of "Back in the Day." What's most amazing is that I enjoy each of these songs equally.
This album is everything I love about Local H in one album. While I may not play it as much as "Hamfisted" or "Pack up the Cats," this album still contains their catchiest, most well-written songs, and is a great introduction to this band if you are yet to experience their tremendous talent.

4 out of 5 stars Back In The Day: Local H's Big Break.......2005-08-16

Back in the 90's there was a little band known as Local H. Two talented musicians who strived to be original and separate from the rest of the hard rock herd. "As Good As Dead", the band's 1st major label release is a straight-up and honest rock songs aimed to please the Jerry Lewis and Kurt Cobain in everyone. Songs such as "High Fivin' MF" and the ominous "Bound For The Floor" poke fun at out-of-fashion hipsters and just make fun of themselves basically. While other songs such as "Back In The Day" and "Fritz's Corner" display the absolutely rocking and heavy side of Local H. But there is also another side of Local H that the listener discovers once "As Good As Dead" reaches tracks like "Ok" and "No Problem". These songs unveil the alterna-rock and almost sensitive side to Local H. All around "As Good As Dead" is a solid introduction to Local H and what they stand for, humor and sarcastic rock n' roll. I definitely recommend Local H to anyone who enjoys Nirvana and Queens Of The Stone Age.
