The Chronicles of Life and Death is the third full-length studio album by Good Charlotte, released on October 5, 2004, through Daylight Records. It is often noted as a more darker and serious album by the band because of the change of the music and the lyrics. The album was released with two different versions: a "Life" and a "Death" version which came with different cover art (designed by guitarist Billy Martin) and a special bonus track. There is also a Japanese version that has a different cover art as well as the special bonus tracks from both the "Life" and "Death" versions, including the hidden track "Wounded" at the end of the album. The album sold 199,000 in the first week.[citation needed] The Chronicles of Life and Death is the first and only album to feature Chris Wilson on drums.
