Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the last great heavy metal / psychedelic combinations, the early 1980s tour "Black & Blue" featured Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult laying waste to stoned freaks nationwide. First you'd get blitzed by BOC's post-Armageddon, intellectual metal space show--"Don't Fear the Reaper", "Godzilla", and so on--and then, while everyone's brains were still reeling from too much rat weed and cheap booze, Sabbath would come out and bash everyone square between the eyes with two-ton riffs (Black and blue, indeed). The members of Monster Magnet no doubt took in a few of these shows as whelps and have absorbed and regurgitated everything that made that tour so great on their record Dopes to Infinity. Witness some of the heaviest riffs you'll ever hear and be dazzled by subtle acoustic numbers and instrumental wizardry. And if that's not enough for you, they've even thrown in a certified hit in "Negasonic Teenage Warhead", equal amounts BOC's "Godzilla" and Cream's "White Room". Like Kyuss and Corrosion of Conformity, Monster Magnet has suckled at Sabbath's teat, and though they owe the Sabs their existence, they've grown up and created their own vision. This is by far the best, most fully and successfully realised Monster Magnet record and will no doubt stand as one of the classic psychedelic metal albums of all time. --Adem Tepedelen

This is one of those precious albums that just 'is' - period. The feeling and the creativity ooze out of each track, along with a few homegrown truths about life squeezed in to boot. After a few listens you'll love each track for what it is and what it's trying to say - unless you have no taste, but then you wouldn't be reading this would you?
To sum up: It's well worth waiting for, however long it takes to aquire. Buy it and support the band- drugs don't come cheap you know!

Dopes To Infinity was released in 1995 and was the third full-length studio album from the Red Bank, New Jersey based rock/metal band Monster Magnet, the album is somewhat of a cult classic within the Stoner Rock genre and is very popular among Monster Magnet fans.
Dopes To Infinity contains the single `Negasonic Teenage Warhead' and the popular tracks `Dead Christmas' and `Look To Your Orb For The Warning.'
In every way, this is a strong album from the band. The lyrics, production, performances and songwriting are all just on top form, with Dave's Vocals in particular really coming in to their own. Stylistically, the album maintains some of the psychedelic touches of its predecessors but overall relies more on riffs and grooves.
Highlights include the memorable `King Of Mars,' as well as the aforementioned `Negasonic Teenage Warhead' and `Look To Your Orb For The Warning,' all of which demonstrate what Monster Magnet were capable of when at their best.
In summary, Dopes To Infinity is a strong, confident and well written album that contains a lot of classic material and is more than worth a place in any Stoner Rock collection. If you are a fan then hands down you need a copy of Dopes To Infinity and it is indeed a good record to pick up even if you are a prospective fan.

Having been a huge Monster Magnet fan for many years and owning all their CDs I have come to the conclusion that 'Dopes To Infinity' is their finest work to date. The stand-out tracks are 'Dopes To Infinty', 'Negasonic Teenage Warhead' and the insanely brilliant 'Dead Christmas'. Buy this and be blown away by the awesome power and style of the 'Magnet!

Essential stoner rock
Monster Magnet are quite simply one of the most interesting things to have come out of the metal scene in recent years. Korn, Slipknot etc. Read more

Doped to Infinity
Firstly, it rules. Great vibe, vocals and guitar tones/riffs will have you chilled in no time. All you need now is a lava-lamp and a cranked up guitar to play along with it. Read more

Monster Magnet's '95 album was what got me into them in the first place, so I always have a soft spot for it in my heart. Read more
