Mostasteless is the first album recorded by Jamie Madrox and The Monoxide Child as Twiztid. Prior to this album's release, both members were part of the Detroit local rap group The House of Krazees. The album was printed with three different covers and in two different versions. The first version was released on August 4, 1998. Due to sample clearance problems production was cancelled. This version's cover has both members in black hooded sweaters with a blue background. Twiztid then signed with Island Records and was forced to remove some tracks, but recorded some new ones and re-released Mostasteless on June 22, 1999. This version has comic book type artwork on the cover. The third printing of the album was released at the 2002 Gathering of the Juggalos. Madrox said that this version, which has the same tracks as the 1998 version, was originally going to be released as the first printing, but the cover, which features two conjoined fetuses with wings, was too edgy for record stores to carry. As a result, the "black hoods" cover became the first printing. When the existence of the original unreleased "fetus" artwork became widely known to fans, a limited run of albums bearing this cover was printed, limited to 2000 copies.
