Album notes

 * This EP is the only release to feature the band's original vocalist.
 * Much like the succeeding full-length album, The Painkiller That Committed Suicide features a much different sound from subsequent releases.
 * The extended play's tracks all contain references
 * Track 1's title mentions Albert Fish and Nathan Gale (the murderer of Dimebag Darrell), two notorious figures.
 * Track 2 is a reference to how drunkards would typically act; it was also a quote popularized by Will Ferrell.
 * Track 3 is a play on the 2006 film A Scanner Darkly, which is based off the novel.
 * Track 4's title is apparently the band's take on Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett.
 * Track 5 is a mangling of a popular catchphrase spoken by Christopher Walken; derived from an SNL sketch.
