Album Notes:

Monster Magnet is an American stoner rock band. Hailing from Red Bank, New Jersey, the group was founded by Dave Wyndorf (vocals and guitar), John McBain (guitar) and Tim Cronin (vocals and drums). The band first went under the name “Dog of Mystery”, “Airport 75”, “Triple Bad Acid” and “King Fuzz” before finally settling on “Monster Magnet”, taken from the name of a 1960s toy made by Wham-O, which Wyndorf liked when he was a child.

 

Dopes to Infinity is the third album by New Jersey rock band Monster Magnet. It was released on March 21, 1995 (see 1995 in music).

 

The song “Negasonic Teenage Warhead” became the band’s first hit single, after having appeared the previous year in different form in the American movie S.F.W.. Other tracks, such as the title track and “Dead Christmas” however, received little or no airplay, resulting in sales of the album being only slightly better than their previous album, Superjudge. The album did reach #51 on the UK Charts and #30 in the German Charts.

 

A shorter version of the song “Look to Your Orb for the Warning” appears in the soundtrack of the film The Matrix.

 

A music video was made for the song “Negasonic Teenage Warhead”.

 

In 2011, Monster Magnet revisited the album when they embarked on ‘Dopes to Infinity 2011: The European Tour’, performing the album live in its entirety at several European locations.
