Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has a Bodycount is the debut studio album by American
post-hardcore band
From First to Last. It was released on June 29, 2004, through
Epitaph Records. The title was taken from a monologue in the film Heathers, in which
Winona Ryder's character is writing in her diary.
Production was handled by Lee Dyess and the band themselves. The album was remastered by
Beau Burchell from
Saosin, however, it is not indicated on the personnel, possibly due to a contemporary feud between the band.[2] The album is also notable for being one of the earliest projects featuring singer and multi-instrumentalist
Sonny Moore (who has since launched a successful solo career as an electronic music producer and performer, under the stage name Skrillex).
The album received generally mixed reviews from music critics.[3] It reached number 12 and 21 on the BillboardHeatseekers Albums and
Independent Albums chart.[4][5] It spawned two
singles: "Ride the Wings of Pestilence" and "Note to Self". The hidden track (commonly referred to as "Dead Baby Kickball") features contributing vocals from American
rapper Major League Playa. "Populace in Two" was included in the soundtrack for the
video gameBurnout 3: Takedown.
It was released on the
iTunes store for download on July 26, 2005.
