The Way To A Girl's Heart Is Through Her Boyfriend's Stomach, released in 1999 through Tank Records, is the debut full length release from the Massachusetts
based melodic hardcore
band now known as A Wilhelm Scream
.
A Wilhelm Scream considers this album as their first real release, as all the songs had been written after they had a complete and steady line-up. They have also stated that this, in retrospect, is their most cheerful record.
Despite the original and reissue having identical covers, the colour of the CDs
are different; the original being blue, whilst the reissue is red. The disc-tray insert includes a copy of an autographed poster addressed to the band from legendary porn star Ron Jeremy. It is displayed in color on the original, but is black-and-white on the re-issue.
As this album uses copyrighted sound clips from major Hollywood films and has two hidden tracks, the following statement is written on the inside left fold of the tray card: "Big entertainment conglomorates
, please don't sue the fuck out of us for using your movies for our stupid, played-out punk rock album sound bytes. The "bonus tracks" were recorded live and extremely drunk at some club in Providence

There are also two hidden tracks on the CD, one is an alternate version of "Chock Full O' Angst" off their earlier "Give Girls More Beer" demo tape. (2:06) and the other is a drunken live cover of "Embrace" by straight edge hardcore band Ignite" (3:46)
