4-Way Diablois the seventh studio album by AmericanrockbandMonster Magnet,released in November 2007.

Following the album's release, none of its songs were included in the concert sets. According to frontmanDave Wyndorf,they were not written as live songs and he deemed them too delicate to work as such.[7]The album includes a cover ofThe Rolling Stones' "2000 Light Years from Home" from their 1967psychedelic rockalbumTheir Satanic Majesties Request.The track "No Vacation" is a re-recording of the song "Atom Age Vampire" originally featured on the EPLove Monster,a demo collection recorded by Wyndorf in 1988.
