Monolithic Baby! is the sixth studio album by Monster Magnet, released in 2004. It is a follow up to 2000's God Says No. It would also be the first album featuring bassist Jim Baglino. Bob Pantella was hired to fill the band's drum position after the album's recording; the drums on the album were performed by Michael Wildwood.
The album features three cover songs - "There's No Way Out of Here" by Ken Baker. The song was originally recorded by the band Unicorn released in 1976 on their album Too Many Crooks (US title Unicorn 2) . David Gilmour also recorded a version on his solo debut album. "The Right Stuff" by Robert Calvert is from his 1974 concept album, Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters, and Velvet Underground's "Venus in Furs", the latter being available on the US edition of the album only.
Monolithic Baby! reached #13 in the German Charts.
All tracks written by Dave Wyndorf except where stated.
Tracks 13 & 14 are US bonus tracks. "King of Mars 2004" is a rerecording of the track "King of Mars" from Dopes to Infinity, and "Venus in Furs" is a The Velvet Underground cover from their 1967 album, The Velvet Underground & Nico.
Some special edition copies contain the 2 bonus track mentioned above, and a bonus DVD with an interview with the band, live performances, and the uncensored music videos for "Unbroken (Hotel Baby)" and "The Right Stuff" (which shows Dave Wyndorf flying in a jet destroying other planes with different labels of musical genre.)
