Unspoiled Monsters is the seventh album by the Danish alternative rock act Sort Sol and the fifth after the renaming of the band from the earlier Sods. It is the first without the original member Peter Peter, as he left the band before pre-production of the album. The album is a departure from Sort Sol's earlier albums, being less aggressive and much more experimental, incorporating programmed beats and greater amount of keyboards. The songs are less melodic and more based on atmosphere.
