Up Off the Floor (stylized as up off the floor) is the third and final studio album by God Lives Underwater. The album was originally recorded in 2000 but due to various problems, the album was shelved until Locomotive Records (owned by Megaforce Records) picked it up. There were numerous problems with Locomotive's pressing. The sound quality suffered due to either an error in production or the oversight of not using the master recordings, various grammatical errors remained within the liner notes, and two of the more well-known songs from the album's sessions ("Choir Boy" and a cover of David Bowie's "Fame") were removed and not included in the official release for undisclosed reasons. A promotional version of Up Off the Floor also circulated online which possessed better sound quality overall.[1] [2]
