Operation: Doomsday is the debut solo album by British-American rapper/producer MF Doom, marking his return to the hip hop scene after KMD's demise. It was released on Fondle 'Em Records in 1999, and reissued by Sub Verse Records in 2011 with a slightly altered track listing. A remastered edition of the original version was released in 2015.
It was announced on December 16, 2010 that Operation: Doomsday was being reissued in 2011. The reissue cover was designed by Jason Jagel, who did the art for Mm.. Food. It was reported that there were licensing issues with the original artwork that caused problems with reissuing. Stones Throw Records stated that Doom was working on a track-listing for the reissue.
All tracks produced by Metal Fingers, except "The Hands of Doom" produced by DJ Subroc.
"Hero vs. Villain (Epilogue)" was replaced by "I Hear Voices Pt. 1" in the 2011 remastered edition of the album.
