I am a huge Monster Magnet fan. With the release of their new album, they revisit the old sound with the production and songwriting of Mach 3. I figured I'd list my definitive guide to their full length albums based on the MS rating system. They haven't put out a "bad" album, but some are better than others.

1.Monster Magnet - Dopes To Infinity

2.Monster Magnet - Powertrip

3.Monster Magnet - Last Patrol

4.Monster Magnet - Spine Of God

5.Monster Magnet - Superjudge
