All Wound Up is the demo album by American rock band Godsmack. It was released independently by EK Records on July 28, 1997. It was eventually edited, remastered and re-released as the band's first studio album, Godsmack, with the song "Going Down" (later written "Goin' Down") only available on the Japanese edition and the introduction to "Get Up, Get Out!" split into its own track, titled "Someone in London". "Going Down" later appeared on the soundtrack to the film Mission: Impossible 2 as well as the band's second studio album Awake.

Different editions[]

Four different versions of this album exist. The first and the second edition only differ because of a member misprint in the booklet. The misprint of the first edition mentions "Tony" (Rombola) also on drums. That's corrected in the second edition, where you can read "Joe" (D'Arco) on drums. The third edition's characteristic feature is an added bonus CD with the track "Whatever" included on it. The fourth edition differs from all the others in two cases: The hidden track at the end of the eleventh track, "Witch Hunt", is removed and a twelfth track, "Whatever" (also not mentioned elsewhere on the release), is added.

Track differences to the album Godsmack[]

Beside slight overall differences concerning the mix, there are some more significant differences between All Wound Up... and Godsmack.

  • "Moon Baby": There are more people sounds in the part from 2:39 to 4:10.
  • "Immune": The guitar sound at the end isn't fading out.
  • "Time Bomb": The intro is mixed significantly louder.
  • "Keep Away": This version is about 20 seconds longer, because the intro of "Situation" on Godsmack is put at the end of "Keep Away" here.
  • "Situation": This version is about 20 seconds shorter, because the intro featured on Godsmack is missing here. It is put at the end of "Keep Away" instead.
  • "Stress": No differences
  • "Bad Religion": This version includes a spoken intro.
  • "Get Up, Get Out": This version is about two minutes longer, because it includes the intro "Someone in London", that is a separate track on Godsmack.
  • "Now or Never": No differences
  • "Goin' Down": No differences to the version, which was released as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Godsmack.
  • "Voodoo": The vocals at the beginning are mixed more in the foreground significantly.
