Band Review: MK Ultra

The first thing I need to say is that apparently those videos need a warning on them. I didn't watch any, but I read that. I guess it makes sense, at least given that one of the songs is called "X-Rated".

(I'll figure out how to handle MK Ultra's daily song slot later.)

Listening to the music, while the song titles themselves reference adult content, the sneering quality of the delivery reduces the shock value. There may be the intent to shock, but I think real shock requires some sincerity, or at least freshness. This music feels more cynical and jaded - which has its place.

I should also warn that there are several other results to MK Ultra (also a reference to CIA mind control experiments), with apparently at least three other bands. This is the MK Ultra that has the Generation Dead album and The Hollywood Holocaust EP.
