Words from the Exit Wound is the first full Napalm Death album I ever heard and the first extreme metal album I ever bought (it was one of two ND albums at the CD store, neither of which I was familiar with). A lot of people give it **** for not doing anything new, but as far as I'm concerned it's just another perfect death metal album in a long line of perfect death metal albums.
What it lacks in innovation, it more than makes up for in intensity, sick riffs, monstrous grooves, bestial vocals, and brutality with a streetwise immediacy that never indulges in wank or pretension. A mediocre Napalm Death album still obliterates all comers.
