Amusing the Amazing is an EP by the American stoner rock band Slo Burn. It was released on April 15, 1997.^[3] The EP contains four songs, and sounds very much in the vein of Kyuss, of stoner rock fame, partly due to having been co-produced by Chris Goss, who also produced much of the music of Kyuss, and partly due to the presence of John Garcia, formerly of Kyuss, on vocals.
