Is it just me, or is there anybody who thinks this latest Monkee package from Rhino is harsh, shrill, and distorted on many of the tracks? I thought maybe my disc was a bad pressing and returned it in exchange. Nope. I have to say the Listen To The Band box set retains more of the original warmth of these recordings. As for the Bonus Karaoke disc, this is worth the price alone. It's a shame though that instead of the umpteenth "remastering" of the Monkees catalog, Rhino should give us a discs worth of the Backing Tracks. These are in superb fidleity.Free Music Review: UGH!

I couldn't wait to buy this CD and boy do I regret it now. I was 7 when I first heard The Monkees and had a couple of their albums. Vinyl records are more memorable than this! In the Theme song it seemed muted. Last Train to Clarksville was what I remembered. I hated the few songs that Davey Jones sang on and Mike Nesmith is just too country. Spare your eardrums the monstrosity of Auntie Grizelda. Peter Tork sings flat and out of tune. I hate it now as much as I did when I was a kid. Some of the songs I never even heard of. There's also a Bonus Karaokee disk. Now I've Karaokee'd and I'm good, but this disk makes even me sound bad, and that takes some doing. All in all it's an UGH for me. After 2 plays I had to give it up. The Monkees, at least from my point of view, who was around when they first came out and used to sing with their albums should stay in the 60's where they belong. The Best of the Monkees? I have one word for that. NOT!Free Music Review: Awful sound quality

Subject says it all.
I am not an extremely picky audiophile; I can listen to 128k mp3's all day and they sound fine to me. But this is like nails on a chalkboard. Even the Monkees great music can't overcome the limitations of the awful engineering and "remastering" on this album.
From the get-go, the Monkees theme is totally flat, no bottom at all. It sounds like you are listening to AM radio. The rest of the tracks are all over the place, from bad to worse. There isn't a single track on this album that I can even stand to listen to.
I can't believe that this was worked on by anyone who knows anything about music engineering or mastering. It obviously wasn't. The engineer(s) should be fired for doing this kind of work.
I love the Monkees, but this set is a real disgrace to their music. I'm going to be looking for a different 'Best of' collection that sounds halfway decent.
