Reviews Customer Reviews for More Of The Monkees      Monkees #2??      Rating:      What can I say? I grew up watching this show, reruns sure but this cd has some great stuff! "SHE" is the best! How this song has never been covered is beyond me. Why? Special edition has some great out-takes. Monkees were cool. deal.     Customer Reviews for More Of The Monkees Cd      Donnie sees $$$$$ and this record suffers for it.      Rating:      This is the one album of the four re-issues that I have to skip over some of the tracks. This album suffers from too many cooks in the kitchen. The Boyce & Hart stuff as well as Mike Nesmith's stuff is great but the rest is just Brill Building dribble, especially "The Day We Fall In Love" with its sickening recitation. Apparently Don Kirschner could not hear the music over the ringing cash registers in his head because if he did he would have detected a lack of cohesion, which Boyce & Hart had with most of the first album. Instead he hired other producers and rushed this into the stores without even the band knowing about it. And he had the audacity to write the liner knows praising himself on doing such a fine job. Fortunately there are some good songs here and a great selection of bonus tracks to make up for the dreck. You can also listen to either the mono or stereo versions but for me this is the weakest one out of the four re-issues.
