Adaptation Decay 19: Mortal Kombat: The Album (Patreon)

Johnny Cage is not afraid to die, but we weren't prepared for this album.

We aim for variety on this show. We don't want to fall into a rut of just covering bad video game movies. Sometimes we want to cover bad video game music, too. Mortal Kombat mania produced a lot of cultural output, but nothing matches the sheer idiocy of Mortal Kombat: The Album, by The Immortals, a side project of Lords of Acid. You need to experience it for yourself to understand just how execrable a novelty techno dance album can be. I don't think we've dunked on anything harder in the whole run of our shows.
