AllMusic[2]

Unlike their earlier works, this album features no keyboards, instead replacing long time keyboard player, Daniella Jones, with guitarist Justin Garcia. According to the band's official web page, "We did 2 records with keyboards. We loved doing those records with keyboards. Things eventually started to not work out between both parties."[3] However, near the end of their first tour of this album, Garcia, too, left the band, and was replaced by Lanny Perelman, formally a member of Cerberus.

The musical qualities are different from their first two albums. Many of the death metal elements were removed from this album and has been considered a loss for the band.[4] However, the band's work on Wounds was praised for the songwriting and musicianship value of the album.[5]

Guest vocals on the title track, "Wounds", were provided by Makh Daniels of the band Early Graves.

Personnel
gollark: If you can use something quite easily for evilness, it is in fact somewhat a problem.
gollark: Also, you could equally say something like "in a liberal nation I have the right to murder anyone, while others are just as free to unmurder them".
gollark: Most places have some level of property rights.
gollark: Ah, "rak1507" finally speaks.
gollark: It does not exactly directly reduce your ability to do things. It does indirectly, though, via increased government power.
