Kill, I Oughtta is the debut extended play of American 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 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.[4] It is the only release by Mudvayne to have any participation from original bassist Shawn Barclay.

Music and lyrics

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]
