Does This Look Infected? by Sum 41
Does This Look Infected? is an album by Sum 41, released in 2002. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 44 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Still Waiting”, on 30 lists with a best position of #2.
Sum 41 followed the pop-punk of All Killer No Filler with Does This Look Infected?, out November 26, 2002, and the Ajax, Ontario four-piece came back darker, meaner and a whole lot heavier. Greig Nori produced it for Aquarius. Deryck Whibley sings and plays guitar, Dave Baksh peels off harmonized leads, Jason McCaslin holds down bass and Steve Jocz drums, and the band splits the difference between bubblegum hooks and thrash-metal riffing, with shouted vocals and breakdowns crashing through.
"The Hell Song" and "Hyper-Insomnia-Para-Condrioid" keep one foot in the skate park, while "Still Waiting" charges like a metal band with a grudge. PopMatters later heard it as a bridge from the debut's bounce to the heavier Chuck, and as the most varied thing the band had done. Both singles did well on the modern rock charts, and the album landed as a hit with critics and buyers alike.
