Dopes to Infinity by Monster Magnet (CD, May-2005, A&M Records USA)

Well, if going on a trip into infinity means a trip into forever, going on and on and on, AND on, I would DEFINITELY take my Monster Magnet with me for the ride. I can listen to their music over and over and over and over and there's no ad nauseum ad infinitum... well, the music is fantastic in the truest sense. It has a blend of fantasy, science fiction, psychedelia, reminds me of comic book space heroes, of old SF movies, and it's just plain fun. I like the "tough humor." Comic book heroes, space cowboys oughta be tough. The rhythm is driving and compelling, maybe at times even hypnotic but will definitely not put anyone to sleep.
