What you want to do:

Try them and have a listen to your favourite tunes,
preferably CD or Vinyl format, not mp3 and
listen to The MID signal alone and the Side signal alone.

Do the same with your tracks and compare the to the mastered offerings

Points to compare (amongst others):

- Frequency distribution
- RMS/volume of each
- RMS /Volume ratio MID:Side
- which instruments reside where (mainly)?

This can offer a new perspective on EQing and compression etc.
You can eq the two signals independently if you fell like it:
If you feel adventurous and your DAW allows it you could:

- Make the MID signal compress the SIDE signal etc.
- Apply different FX to one/or both of the signals

Some presets in Fabfilter Pro-C for example make use of M/S stuff.
