Good is the first album by the Boston-based alternative rock trio Morphine.[5][6] It was released in 1992 on the Accurate/Distortion label.[2] It was reissued by Rykodisc after the band signed with the label.[7]

Critical reception[]

Trouser Press wrote that the album "establishes the goods, excavating a slippery, sultry groove that suggests blues and be-bop without becoming either by providing ample room in the spacious mix for two evocative voices."[8]
