'''''Amusing the Amazing''''' is an EP by the American stoner rock band Slo Burn. It was released on April 15, 1997.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Slo_Burn/Amusing_the_Amazing/40927|title=Amusing the Amazing – Slo Burn|website=Encyclopaedia Metallum|date=March 21, 2004|author=menalica_monk|access-date=June 26, 2023}}</ref> 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.
