Timothy's Monster is the fourth full-length studio album by Motorpsycho. It was released through EMI in Norway, marking their first album on a major label, and through the independent label Stickman Records in the rest of the world. The album was issued as a double-CD or triple-LP.

A 4-CD version was released by Rune Grammofon and Stickman Records to tie in with Motorpsycho's appearance at the 2010 Øyafestivalen on August 14, 2010, where the band played the album in its entirety (albeit in a different running order).{{cite web|url=http://www.ballade.no/nmi.nsf/doc/art2010061512350674097962|title=Motorpsycho-klassiker på boks før Øyafestivalen|publisher=Ballade.no|date=15 June 2010|accessdate=2 November 2012|last=Johansen|first=Carl Kristian|language=no|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910091350/http://www.ballade.no/sak/motorpsycho-klassiker-pa-boks-for-oyafestivalen/|archive-date=10 September 2016|url-status=dead}}
