Title: This is without a doubt the WORST Monkees album ever!
Review: ANY of the Monkees' 60's albums are better than this synthesized garbage. As with most albums, there are a couple of highlights (Heart & Soul, Every Step of the Way & Gettin' In). But even those song aren't good enough to merit buying this album. The songs lack any heart, and is mixed in such a way that any melody the songs may have had are overtaken by overpowering, 80's style synthetic sounding drums. What suprises me about Rhino's reissue is that they didn't include their other songs of the era as bonus tracks(That Was Then, This Is Now; Anytime, Anyplace or Anywhere & Kicks)--ALL of which are better than any songs found on this album. If you MUST have a reunion album, stick with Justus(which features Mike), but I STRONGLY prefer Pleasant Valley Sunday any day.
