After enjoying years of success as a manufactured pop-rock group in the 1960s, eventually earning their independence from their corporate overlords to perform songs as they saw fit, The Monkees broke up around 1970 as their commercial fortunes waned over time. As the 1980s took shape however, an unexpected resurgence in popularity came about for the band who got their start as the subject of a sitcom, finding a new audience through reruns on MTV and Nickelodeon, and translating it into a highly profitable reunion tour. Keen on capitalizing on these newfound commercial gains, it was decided that The Monkees would put out a new studio album for these new fans.

Far from building on their fresh wins, the 1987 comeback album Pool It! was neither a commercial or critical success. If anything it's considered to this day to be one of the more embarassing things to come out of the catalog of musician/actors Mickey Dolenz, Davy Jones, and Peter Tork. (4th Monkee Michael Nesmith opted not to participate, and perhaps for all the better.) The Monkees would not attempt another album until the 90s, and Pool It! ultimately marked the end of the act as little more than a nostalgia band.

So many decades later Lilz & Patrick of Jukebox Zeroes have decided to take a shot at Pool It! Joined by frequent JBZ guest Scott Kurland (Writer's Bagel Basket), the three listen to the maligned Monkees record and decide for themselves whether it's not as bad as it seems, or if it's best left for dead.
