Too High to Die is the eighth album by the Meat Puppets, released on January 25, 1994. It sold very well due to the success of its single "Backwater", which reached #2 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The album itself also reached #1 on the Heatseekers chart, making it one of the Meat Puppets' most successful and highest ranking albums to date. The album's title is a parody of The Ramones' 1984 album Too Tough to Die.





A limited edition of Too High To Die included the 10" vinyl promo EP Raw Meat. The cover art on this limited edition features more color than the simply pink-toned normal cover.
The album was certified gold by the RIAA on October 6, 1994.

Honestly, I never understood how Curt never got his due as a guitar god! If you really, I mean really listen, and get past a few drug-addled lyrics, you'll hear some incredibly guitar playing on this and most of the Pups  LPs. Probably straddling the DIY/Punk/Country/Rock/Drug genres did not help, but do yourself a favor, this album has a very broad number of styles on it.
