Thing of Beauty is a double album by the alternative rock band Volcano Suns. It was released in 1989 on SST Records. The album was the group's first to feature David Kleiler, Jr. as primary guitarist, with previous guitarist Chuck Hahn having exited the group. This album sees the band functioning more democratically than before. Kleiler and bassist Bob Weston contribute lead vocals on several songs, while the band occasionally exchanges instruments; Peter Prescott's guitar playing setting a precedent for his focus on the instrument in his later project, Kustomized.
