Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
One of the last great heavy metal/psychedelic combinations, the early '80s 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 realized Monster Magnet record and will no doubt stand as one of the classic psychedelic metal albums of all time. --Adem Tepedelen

4 out of 5 stars There is no such thing as bad MM........2007-05-21

Dopes to Infinity is not their best album, in fact, it may be their least best. I say that because it is an awesome cd, but when compared to "Powertrip", "Spine of God", "Superjudge", and "Monolithic Baby!", it doesn't quite stack up. It is more along the lines of "God Says No", where you really dig it (especially compared to most other bands), but there is just a certain something missing. There are some awesome songs on here, like their first big hit "Negasonic Teenage Warhead", "Look to Your Orb..." and "Dead Xmas". If you are fan, you must add this to your collection. If you are new to MM, then I'd start with "Powertrip", as that is their most well-known and successful cd, and the easiest to get into.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing...........2006-07-13

Wow...Dave Wyndorf is no doubt one of the most original and self-inspired song writers of our time. Don't get me wrong, he did have influences like the psychadelic space rock of Hawkwind, and that of Captain Beyond, but even those veteran bands from the 70's don't compare to this cosmic genius. The entire album glows with great talent. Ed Mundell's guitar riffs are outstanding. The only beef I had was that they didn't put "Eclipse This" (it turned out to be a B-side) on the album. Look for that on their website and download it, definately a worthy listen. This is Monster Magnet's last more Space/stoner oriented rock album. Get it. It stands above most musical efforts.

5 out of 5 stars Build up the cosmic temple baby.......2006-05-19

The song Dopes to Infinity is worth the price of the cd alone. That has to be the best Monster Magnet tune. And all of their songs are tight and therefore its no surprise that every song here is gold. It you like any other MM cd at all, then I don''t see how you could not like this. Its absolute cosmic rock.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2005-06-10

I bought this album on the strength of "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" which I think kicks major
butt!! However after listening to the whole album, nothing else even comes close to the energy
of that song. If you are looking for more of the same, you too, may be disappointed. I'm not a
stoner, so maybe I am missing something in this music. I was able to get this through the Amazon
marketplace for a couple of bucks, so I just think of it as the purchase of a really long CD
single :).

4 out of 5 stars It's totally "Dope"........2004-07-14

One thing is for sure, once I got into "Monster Magnet", I wished I had done so sooner, and I'm suprised they're not better known. It's pretty much the sound of what every rebel-rocker wants: monster psychedelic riffs, that's equal doses of 70's classic rock, and 90's stoner rock. Not everything is turned up to 11, there's a few melodic tracks as well, but overall it's pretty heavy. "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" is the "hit" here, but the rest is just as awesome. Anyone with a liking for "Kyuss/QOTSA/Soundgarden" should totally dig this.
