Wormwood is considered an interesting album for the way it was recorded.

The band took live recordings of their new songs from various Summer 2002 shows onward and interlaced them with studio takes.

For this reason, there are sometimes cheers of the crowd evident (such as during the beginning of "Bullet").

It was a 2004 Jammy Award winner as the 'best studio album'.
