Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story soundtrack- A definitive guide to every song in the series 

After the phenomenal success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Ryan Murphy is back with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, which serves as a sequel to the 2022 original. Though the series was initially conceived as a miniseries, given its grand success across the world, Netflix is now back with a second season, which focuses on two new subjects.

In Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, the series delves into the 1989 murders of José and Kitty Menéndez, who were killed by their own sons. This case is vastly different from the one in the first season and, hence, is also different in approach and tone.

One of the standout elements of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is its exceptional sound design. The sound department of the show is helmed by Thomas Newman and his daughter Julia Newman. Thomas Newman is one of the biggest names in the industry, having worked on movies like American Beauty, The Shawshank Redemption, Finding Nemo, and Spectre.

Apart from the exceptional score that makes this Netflix series stand out, there are also some brilliant songs used throughout the series, which accentuate the drama and provide a deeper connection to the tale of the two brothers and their heinous crimes.
