''Does This Look Infected?'' is the second full-length album by Sum 41. It was released on November 26, 2002 on Island Records. Even though there is relatively little cursing on the album, it is the only Sum 41 album with a parental advisory sticker on it. It was released in two versions, an explicit version and a clean version. The cover for ''Does This Look Infected?'' features Steve Jocz dressed up as a zombie. The cover was chosen months before the title was. The album was almost delayed by the label because the band members did not have a name for it on time. Deryck suddenly thought of the name ''Does This Look Infected?''; the whole band laughed at the idea and chose it as their album title.

The unedited version includes a bonus DVD, "Cross The T's and Gouge Your I's". The DVD has footage of Sum 41's alter ego band, "Pain for Pleasure", titled "Reign In Pain", and various humorous segments like "Going Going Gonorrhea", "Campus Invasion" and "Pizza Heist and Other Crap". Also included in the DVD are the Pain for Pleasure tracks "Reign In Pain" and "WWVII Parts 1 & 2", the Autopilot Off songs "Long Way to Fall" and "Nothing Frequency", the No Warning songs "Short Fuse" and "Ill Blood" and some weblinks. "Food" and "Yesterday.com" were working titles for the song "No Brains." The song "Still Waiting" was featured in the Horror-Action game "Obscure.", along with several other Sum 41 songs.Still Waiting was also featured in the Demolition Derby game Test Drive : Eve of Destruction - Wikipedia

The more appropriate question here may be, "Does this sound infectious?"After all, Sum 41's double-platinum major label debut, All Killer, NoFiller, was a downright hummable, toe-tapping commercial punk rock collectionthat hooked in as deeply as the defining works of predecessors such as GreenDay or Blink-182. Has the still college-aged Canadian quartet done it again?Yes, actually; Does This Look Infected? has the same energy-melody blendas its predecessors, with just enough fresh twists—notably a more directdisplay of Sum 41's metal roots—to make this more than just a rehashof its previous triumph. (For more headbanging escapades, the album also comeswith a five-song bonus EP from Pain for Pleasure, Sum 41's Spinal Tap-ishheavy metal alter ego).

Produced by band manager Greig Nori and mixed with the mosh-pit friendly earsof Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Guns ‘N Roses), the 12 songs on Infected? displaya more fiery, crunchy quality than Sum 41's other material; "Thanksfor Nothing" rides at a fast, angry gallop, while "Mr. Amsterdam"finds frontman Deryck Whibley trying on some bona-fide nü metal growls."Hooch," "Still Waiting," "Yesterday.com" andthe especially heavy "Billy Spleen" also favor a more metallic kindof crank, while "Asshole" is a blast of hardcore that nods (intentionally,one would think) to Sum 41's SoCal scene influences. But there are stillcarefully crafted hooks and memorable riffs throughout all these songs, whiletracks such as "Hello Song" and "All Messed Up" retain thebrighter, punk-pop attack that brought Sum 41 to the masses. On the former,Whibley yells that "Suddenly I don't feel so insecure," and whileInfected? still has its requisite share of angst, it shows that Whibley andhis mates can rest assured that Sumthing special is still going on here.
