Monster Magnet - Dopes To Infinity
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.

A band that has been around for a fair while ...
A band that has been around for a fair while without really getting the credit that they deserve. They paid their dues to the likes of Hawkwind, Pink Fairies, Black Sabbath and the list goes on. This album is just one in their large canon of work which contains quality songs that are being missed by so many unfortunates whose blinkered loyalty to other less talented acts, who can be defined as Dopes to Infinity.

Pretty good
Its that cringeworthy saying to be honest, 'exactly as it says on the. . . . .blah, blah'If you like Monster Magnet, you will enjoy this album.If this is your first experience of Monster Magnet, by the end of this album you will either buy more of their stuff or allow this effort to gather dust on the shelf. Either way, why not give it a go. If you like early White Zombie you probably feel quite at home with elements of this album. Nice.

Breakthrough album - essential
Buy it - I have been listening to this album extremely regularly since i got it on CD in 1995 - it is pure psych joy from start to finish.. get this and then get the previous album Superjudge and the debut Spine of God and of course the Tab ep - all essential. Amazing swirling sounds and squalls of psych noise envelope the brilliant and totally rocking tracks.

Where Dope Meets Infinity!
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!
