Does This Look Infected?
''Does This Look Infected?'' is the second studio album by Canadian rock band Sum 41. It was released on November 26, 2002. It is their only album to feature a Parental Advisory label on the cover, despite the fact that other albums by the band also feature profanity. It was released in both explicit and edited versions. Music, lyrics and composition The album is a lot more aggressive, darker and heavier than Sum 41's previous studio album, ''All Killer No Filler''. It also has fewer elements of pop music than ''All Killer No Filler''. Described as heavy metal, horror punk, punk rock, pop punk, and melodic hardcore, the album uses elements of heavy metal, hardcore punk, thrash metal, d-beat and, on the song "Thanks for Nothing", hip hop. Although the album has been described as pop punk by some sources, ''Counterculture.co.uk'' considered it an album that shows Sum 41 abandoning the pop punk genre for a more standard punk rock style.

Critical reception Larry Flick, of '' Billboard'' magazine, reviewed the song favorably, saying that it "neatly walks a line between polished modern rock and a clever turn at accessible adult top 40, charged up with grimacing guitars and a pace frantic enough to shake the perm loose from the intended audience's girlfriends." Music videos There are two different music videos of this song, both of which were filmed in Toronto. The first music video contains miscellaneous clips of the band performing, goofing around in shops and spraying people with water guns. This footage was used by the band in order to attract re ...

Singer Deryck Whibley told Kerrang that one night when he was 18, he and his friend, guitarist Dave Baksh, were going to drive to downtown Toronto to hang out. Baksh was very late in picking Whibley up, and Whibley started playing around with his guitar while sitting by the window and waiting. The riff came first, and he started improvising verses and the chorus, and within three or four minutes, had come up with everything but the guitar solo and bridge. He recorded it on his small recorder before Baksh finally arrived, and didn't think much of it. He finally got around to fini ...

Underclass Hero (album)

It is the first of two albums by the band recorded without guitarist Dave Baksh since he left a year earlier to focus on Brown Brigade. The album was recorded as a three-piece. It was first released on July 18, 2007, in Japan by Island Records and distributed worldwide by Aquarius Records. There are no photos of the band inside the liner notes, though the front cover features a monochrome image of vocalist Deryck Whibley spitting in a hallway.

The album was a commercial success, peaking at number 1 on the Can ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
