A concept album, As Good as Dead is about dead-end, small-town life based on the band's origins in Zion, Illinois.[10] 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 the use of profanity in the song "High-Fiving MF" and others.

Four singles were released from the album: "Bound for the Floor", "High-Fiving MF", "Eddie Vedder", and "Fritz's Corner". It remains their best-selling album to date.
