Album
Dopes to Infinity
Dopes to Infinity is the third album by American rock band Monster Magnet, released in March 1995 on A&M Records. It sits between Superjudge, from 1993, and Powertrip, which followed in 1998, and it is filed under hard rock, space rock and stoner rock.
The record is home to "Negasonic Teenage Warhead", the band's first hit single, which makes it a useful marker in their story. If you know the group mainly for what came later, this is where you can hear the heavy, psychedelic-tinged sound they were building on the way to wider attention.
