Alright, gonna give More Balls a spin.
I think a lot of the reworkings are well done, and it's possible that I'll be listening to them instead of the originals in the future.
Could it be that Roy Z is now also sensing that this might happen—perhaps contrary to what he originally believed—and that's what's upsetting him so much?

Quick thoughts:
Cyclops - they added too much junk in the opening but overall the song benefited from the changes.
Hell No - yeah, this one sounds pretty good
Gods of War - a little too much nonsense but fine
1000 Points of Light - really good, I like it, not much more to say, feels like a fine-tuning rather than a huge overhaul
Laughing in the Hiding Bush - ugh, this is bad, do not love any of these changes.
Change of Heart - this really benefits from the remaster, probably the best of any song yet. sounds fantastic.
Shoot all the Clowns - wow huge changes here. Did it need the horns? I don't love this off the bat but I could see myself getting used to it.
Fire - not a song I've listened to a lot but it sounds a lot busier now. I don't think I prefer it to the original in anyway. it feels...slower.
Sacred Cowboys - I am not 100% sold on the extra vocal layers but otherwise this feels like it has more oompf. Is Bruce getting tuned in the choruses? Weird choices here.
Tears of a Dragon - I've always thought the original mix of Tears was a little bland. So I find this to be a little better, with a little more going on, I like the orchestration, but I don't think it gets to the level I want this song to have in my mind.
Overall pretty good, but a few big misses that make it not the quintessential version of the album.

Yes, and I think Roy Z was always mentioned together with Bruce so far. It is therefore difficult for him to move on.

Did Bruno actually plan to re-release Skunkworks too? I tend to believe I read it somewhere, but I'm not sure.
