Spit

Spit is the debut studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Kittie, released on January 11, 2000. Kittie were formed in 1996, and signed to Ng Records, which later merged with Artemis Records, following their performances at the Canadian Music Week festival in March 1999. Recorded over nine days in May 1999 with producer Garth Richardson at EMAC Recording Studios in London, Ontario, Spit is a nu metal album that incorporates elements from various genres. Inspired by life experiences, its lyrics address topics including sexism, hatred, ignorance, abuse, self-image, conformity, and betrayal. The album is Kittie's only release with their original line-up, featuring bassist Tanya Candler and guitarist Fallon Bowman. Candler left the band prior to its release in September 1999, after which they recruited bassist Talena Atfield, who appears on its cover and on a re-recorded version of "Paperdoll". Spit received generally favourable reviews from critics, who praised its production, musicianship, and songwriting but criticized its lyrics and vocals.
