I've always loved Monster, but I am not sure how I feel about these remixes. I can't tell if they are off-putting because they are different from what I know and love, or if they just aren't very good. Would I like these songs if the remix versions were the only ones that existed? I'm not sure if I can answer that. The demos are kind of dull. They remind me off the incidental music of a 90's sitcom. Very generic.

I listened with this comment in mind and think they aren't very good, in part because there are remixed songs that you can immediately identify as being better than the original. Content-wise they removed some guitar that was very obvious, but most egregious is what they did to Michael's voice. It's too in-your-face and has this intentional grittiness applied that's annoying. On the other hand, I also see it as a testament to the quality of the original mix.
