Monolithic Baby! is the sixth studio album by American rock band 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” written by Ken Baker and originally recorded by Baker’s English country rock band Unicorn, “The Right Stuff” by Robert Calvert and Velvet Underground’s “Venus in Furs”, the latter being available on the US edition of the album only. The song “Master of Light” was written for the movie Torque (2004) where the band appears performing it in the nightclub, but the version heard in the movie is a remix with a greater presence of electronic touches. Monolithic Baby! charted in seven countries and peaked at #7 in Sweden and #13 in Germany.
