The Beginning of All Things to End | ||||
Kill, I Oughtta is the debut extended play of American heavy metal band Mudvayne. It was self-released by the band in 1997. [3] [4] [5] [6] In 2001, the EP was reissued by Epic Records under the title The Beginning of All Things to End. [4] The reissue featured, as additional tracks, remixes of " Dig", and "L.D. 50", a 17-minute sound collage which originally appeared as interludes on that album. [4] It is the only release by Mudvayne to have any participation from original bassist Shawn Barclay.
According to Matthew McDonough, the EP was "thrown together" for the band's fans. [7] It consists of five studio tracks originally intended for a demo, and three live tracks. [7] No studio versions exist for the three live tracks "I.D.I.O.T.", "Central Disposal" and "Coal". 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". [1]
