10 Great Rock Albums With Terrible Titles
10. Does This Look Infected? - Sum 41
The era of pop punk might be looked back on fondly by those who experienced it at the time, but on reflection, there was a lot of stupid stuff going around.
The genre's whole gimmick was that it was the youth taking over; immature young men (mostly) bringing teenage toilet humour to the masses, as the nation's parents exploded with rage.
As a result, several pop punk albums came with ridiculous or outright disgusting titles, including this one from flagbearers Sum 41.
Following their hugely successful debut album, All Killer No Filler, Sum 41 put out their sophomore release in 2002, and decided to call it Does This Look Infected? To illustrate their point, the album's cover had a picture of a man with a gaping head wound on it, which is probably the best outcome for that title, to be honest.
In spite of its frankly gross name, Does This Look Infected? scored well with critics and the public, charting in both the US and UK top 40 and getting praise for songs like Still Waiting and Over My Head (Better Off Dead).
Word of advice; if you think something is infected, consult a doctor, not a band.
