Shot is an album by the band The Jesus Lizard, its first release on Capitol Records. Impressed by his work on the album "Houdini" by the Melvins, the band hired producer GGGarth to record "Shot". Of note on this album is the very different production of David Yow's vocals, which are now much clearer and higher in the mix than on previous recordings. Bassist David Wm. Sims has cited this as his favorite record by the Jesus Lizard.

This is the first studio album by the a band that was not produced by Steve Albini. It has been widely held that Steve Albini refused to work with the band because they had signed to a major label, although Albini himself denied this in comments made to a review of the 2009 reissue of the Touch & Go catalog that appears on the Paste Magazine web site.
