    This is a great album. You can tell that they have matured from there past albums. It still has a little pop-punk feel to it, but it is a lot more hardcore. This is the only pop-punk band that I enjoy, and this is my favorite album by them. It is worth a listen to if you enjoy Punk/pop-punk.

    Actually pretty dissapointed with this one. Sum 41 just hardcore sold out. Yeah they blow now. Some good songs but over all i'm dissapointed with Sum 41 and their CD

    I think this cd is awsome. Its got everything, punk, craziness and kick arse punch lines. Does this look infected is definatly better that the last 2 albums, all killer no filler and half hour of power

    I love Sum 41! I've been looking to an alternative to the MTV rap/pop/wannabepunk Avril Lavinge crap that's been floating around since the fall of the boy bands. This is a great cd. It's hard to tell one song form another though. Ya gotta love 'em though!

    First time that i heard it, i got disappointed, but after a second hearing, i just realized that it`s better than AKNF, with the raw aingst of HHOP. I like it, Still waiting is now on my list of favourite songs, but they could do better than this, if they would grow balls and let go the pop punkrock. it would be a shame to see the talent that they waisted in that path.

    Its an okay album, but I kind of find it boring. I dont think they worked very hard at it, and I think half of the reason their popular, is not because of their music, but the punk image.

    I love this album! In my opinion the only song on there that deserves the parential advisory is A.N.I.C (track 5). I highly recomend it.

    Best CD in the entire world; "All Killer No Filler" and "Chuck" are also damn good, but "Does This Look Infected?" has just the best music there is.

    This album rocks. And i mean ROCKS!! They finally made the decision, to go from punk-pop....to PUNK-ROCK! most people think this is the right move, and i do too. but, it would'nt have hurt to put some punk-pop on the album, nonetheless, it KICKS ASS. And anyone who rated this cd and said, quote "its just the usual ignorant punk-pop crap!", obviously havent listened to it. Go SUM!!

    Does This Look Infected brings me mixed feelings. While this' on its own is a great CD, and one I bought personally, it is not the follow-up for All Killer No Filler that I would have hoped for when I carried it out the door. But with track like My Direction and Still Waiting, this CD did secure SUM-41 as my favorite band of all time.

    A fast, funny and enjoyable album that was another taste of what Sum 41 found on "All Killer, No Filler" which was their best album. This album doesn't quite come to that level, but it's close, and gets better with age and repeat listens.

    This album is incredible from start to finish. Pure desperate energy and desperate urgency. Sum 41 is a very underrated band but this album is proof that they are masters of their craft.

    It's a great album. But I think that All Killer, No Filler is better than this album, some lyrics in songs are immature and a song titled A.N.I.C shouldn't be added to this album.

    There are no real surprises here but then in the land of pop-punk surprise is not high on the agenda.

    So Sum 41 have grown up... a little.... It's all relative, and, crucially, it still rocks. [#12, p.153]

    This disc has a clutch of songs that mix chord-y abandon with raging rock riffs--and a heck of a lot of good times.
