On March 2, 2007 at around 4pm PST. "The Beginning of the End" was played on Jed the Fish's program on KROQ as his "Catch of the Day." Early the next morning, after the song was played again on KROQ, a radio-quality rendition of the track began to circulate the internet. [http://www.echoingthesound.org/phpbbx/viewtopic.php?t=20993]

==Versions==
===The Beginning Of The End===This is the original album version. Like "[[Hyperpower!]]" preceding it, the song builds throughout the track, beginning with the drum loop, then guitar and vocals. Bass, tambourine and synthesizer layers are continuously added until an instrumental bridge leads to a loud, noisy synthesizer solo. Most layers then drop away for a few bars of the drum loop, which leads directly into "[[Survivalism (song)|Survivalism]]." ===The Beginning Of The End(Instrumental)==='''''Running Time: 2:55''''' This is unmastered vocal-less mix was released by Reznor through his [[remix.nin.com]] account. ===The Beginning Of The End: Ladytron J-Type Mix==='''''Running Time: 4:20''''' This remix can be found on ''Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D.'' More techno-oriented than the album original and containing a dance beat, it also contains some distorted vocals in the verses. This distortion can also be heard in the choruses. By the time the second verse comes in, another synth line joins in, creating a noisier atmosphere. More synths — this time sounding like a choir — join in the chorus. These layers of sound carry the song to the end of the piece. At about 3:36 into the song, a variation of ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' motif can be heard ending the only known version song:[[Image:The_Downward_Spiral_Motif_(Ladytron).JPG|The variation of "The Downward Spiral motif" as heard at the present moment.end of Ladytron's Remix of TBOTE]]====Song Credits====*Remix by [[Ladytron]] J-Type Overdrive
