Did being on a wave like that influence how the album sounded? The time between the release of 'All Killer No Filler' and '.Infected' shows the size of the wave that you were riding at the time. It was just such a quick record and we haven’t done a record like it since.” I remember that we weren’t done and we came over to do the show and we finished up in Olympic Studios in London. That was our deadline and we started on July 5th. We had to be done because we were playing Reading Festival. It was as many as I could get done in that amount of time. It was probably about six weeks in total. We only had a few weeks to record it and I only had a few weeks to write the whole thing. I have so many that just pop up in my mind. What do you remember most about this period of time for the band?

To celebrate, we're throwing it back to a conversation we had with frontman Deryck Whibley back in 2018 when the band toured the album and played it in full every night. Sum 41's sophomore record 'Does This Look Infected?' was released 18 years ago today! "It was us saying that we’re not going to chase or follow what we’ve done in the past."
