Thing of Beauty is a double album by the alternative rock band Volcano Suns[2][3] which was released in 1989 on SST Records.[4] The album was the group's first to feature David Kleiler, Jr. as primary guitarist, with previous guitarist Chuck Hahn having exited the group.[5]
The album sees the band functioning more democratically. 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.
