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). Its song "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" became the band's first hit single, after having appeared the previous year in different form in S.F.W., an American movie. Other tracks like the title track and "Dead Christmas" however, received little or no airplay, making the sales of the album only slightly better than their last album, Superjudge. The album did reach #51 on the UK Charts.
A music video was made for "Negasonic Teenage Warhead".
