Meat Puppets - Too High To Die

Get ready to crank up the fuzz with Meat Puppets’ iconic 1994 album Too High To Die, freshly remastered and back on vinyl. This is the record that pushed the Arizona trio from cult legends into the alt-rock spotlight.

Produced by Paul Leary of Butthole Surfers fame, Too High To Die captures the Puppets at their gritty, unpolished best, balancing desert-fried psychedelia with jangling hooks. The standout single “Backwater” became a radio and MTV staple, giving the band their biggest hit without watering down their eccentric edge.

This edition has been remastered straight from the original 1/4" production master tape, ensuring every distorted riff, offbeat groove, and fiery vocal sounds as raw and alive as it did in the mid-’90s. The vinyl pressing follows the album’s original LP sequence, which differs slightly from the CD version, making it a must-own for collectors who crave authenticity.

From the punchy opener “Violet Eyes” to the sludgy burn of “Comin’ Down” and the spaced-out textures of “Shine,” this record is a time capsule of alt-rock’s golden era. Equal parts scrappy and sublime, it’s the sound of a band embracing chaos and finding clarity in the noise.

Bold, eccentric, and undeniably addictive, Too High To Die proves that the Meat Puppets were never just another ’90s band—they were one of the decade’s most unpredictable treasures.
