Untitled

Kill, I Oughtta is the debut extended play of American heavy metal band Mudvayne. It was self-released by the band in 1997.[1][2][3][4] In 2001, the EP was reissued by Epic Records under the title The Beginning of All Things to End.[2] The reissue featured remixes of "Dig", a song from the band's debut studio album, L.D. 50, and "L.D. 50", a 17-minute sound collage which originally appeared as interludes on that album.[2]

Music and lyrics

According to Matthew McDonough, the EP was "thrown together" for the band's fans.[5] It consists of five studio tracks originally intended for a demo, and three live tracks.[5] The sound of Kill, I Oughtta is different from that of later Mudvayne albums. Allmusic reviewer Bradley Torreano wrote that "The songs are reminiscent of '90s alternative metal groups like Mind Funk and Paw".[6] Torreano also wrote that the song "Some Assembly Required" "sounds like Jonathan Davis singing for Life of Agony".[6]

Legacy

Kill, I Oughtta was issued by Epic Records under the title The Beginning of All Things to End on November 20, 2001, which features three bonus tracks, including remixes of "Dig", and "L.D. 50", a 17-minute sound collage which originally appeared as interludes on the album of the same name.[2][6] The Beginning of All Things to End was repackaged with L.D. 50 in a budget priced reissue on August 30, 2011.[8]
