Much of the tracks were remixed to sound drastically different from the original EP versions, including the addition of the new hip hop instrumentation. Several bonus tracks were also added, and tracks that appeared on the original EP were deleted.

Introduction to Mayhem was the band's first release on a major label. (həd) Planet Earth frontman Jared Gomes makes a guest appearance rapping on one of the new songs. Four of the songs also featured scratching from DJ Chris Kilmore of Incubus, including on the single "Loose".

The original EP, As Seen on TV, was reissued in 2012, under the title The Big Fuck You.
