Hospital Music is the third solo album by Canadian musician Matthew Good. It was released on July 31, 2007[4] Good performed nearly all the instruments himself, with the exception of drums and a few guitar and bass parts.[5] The album artwork was painted by Vancouver resident Jeremy Crowle.

"Born Losers" was featured as the "Single of the Week" on the American iTunes Store for the week starting July 31, 2007. The debut was significant due to Good's lack of previous success in the U.S. market, where he had previously released only one album - 2001's Beautiful Midnight, which failed to make a major impact on the U.S. charts (due to Good's lack of co-operation).

Hospital Music debuted at #1 on the Canadian albums chart, selling over 11,000 copies in its first week of release.[6] The album was certified Gold in Canada on January 16, 2008.[7]

It was nominated at the 2008 Juno Awards for Best Rock Album.
