Well, you could slap Monstro as first track on any New Wave of Dutch Gothic Metal album (think After Forever, Epica, Within Temptation etc.), and it wouldn't seem out of place.
As an intro to Alive it works, as a standalone piece I wonder what it's doing on Bat III.
7/10 (rated as a standalone piece, add half a point if you consider it part of Alive)
