Reference ideas for Does This Look Infected?

The following references may be useful when improving this article in the future:

Baksh

Dave Baksh is not a member of Sum 41. However he was when this album was made, therefore I'm not removing his name from the article. I do not know whether that list of names apply to the artists who compiled the album or the artists the band consists of. --Scotteh 13:37, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second full-length album?

What about Half Hour of Power? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.219.53 (talk) 18:35, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was an EP. Tim meh (review me) 19:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, thanks. Two questions/statements, however:

1. What differentiates an EP from an album? If it's running time, there's only a minute and six seconds difference between Half Hour of Power and Infected, which I find hard to wrap my head around.

2. From Half Hour of Power's page "Though officially an EP, Half Hour of Power may also be considered the band's debut studio album." FiggazWithAttitude (talk) 15:15, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

HHOP definitely fits all the criteria to be an album, it seems like its just one of those things where bands want to forget the first thing they release, like Slipknot calling Mate Feed Kill Repeat a demo. Issan Sumisu (talk) 16:26, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Roger that, thanks! FiggazWithAttitude (talk) 18:37, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Song Details?

The very end of the song "Mr. Amsterdam" is a reference to the last song on the Metallica album Master of Puppets, "Damage, Inc." They have same 5 beats as an ending, and that is a clear reference. Where can this be included in the article, and can it be made more clear? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.231.24.24 (talk) 00:18, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Melodic hardcore?

Seriously? There is not even a citation to such thing. Engalazillo (talk) 08:45, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What a mess

I've just had a go at tidying this up but, frankly, it's a total mess. I've sorted out previous editors' ignorance of what "publisher" means, corrected a lot of punctuation, made some grammatical corrections and standardised the date frmat. But, the referencing is a mess: there needs to be a serious pruning of the number of refs and an effort to bundle multiple refs together to tidy up the article. I can't be bothered. Emeraude (talk) 13:06, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing all of that. One question, however, what's a frmat? FiggazWithAttitude (talk) 15:08, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Genre mess

"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." - what is this, besides a huge WP:SYNTH violation? - FMSky (talk) 21:07, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I'm not sure "horror punk-esque"(link) passes WP:EXPLICITGENRE --FMSky (talk) 21:10, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And why does it say described as [...] heavy metal [...], it uses elements of heavy metal. Seriously what is this? Can we rewrite the whole part please? --FMSky (talk) 21:13, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Horror punk has been haunting me for years, I've tried removing it a couple times for being WP:FRINGE and it always makes its way back somehow. You're right it is definitely also not explicit. Could you elaborate on what you mean by this sentence being synth though? I don't see any conclusions being made based on multiple, unrelated sources, it looks like just a general list of sources that mention genres and influences to me. Issan Sumisu (talk) 21:17, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently we're saying that the album is "heavy metal, horror punk, punk rock, pop punk, and melodic hardcore and also uses elements of heavy metal, hardcore punk, thrash metal, D-beat and hip hop." But none of the sources actually say this, instead we are using multiple unrelated sources to make one combined statement, this is WP:SYNTH --FMSky (talk) 21:21, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
