In 2002, Mudvayne released The End of All Things to Come , which the band considers its “black album” due to its largely-black artwork. Isolation inspired the album’s songs. During its mixing, Gray and McDonough stopped at Bob’s Big Boy and Gray remembered overhearing someone “say something like, ‘ … and he’s got to cut his own eye out’”. When he asked McDonough if he heard the conversation McDonough said he hadn’t, and Gray thought it was someone discussing a scene from a screenplay.
