The Infection (2002 album)

The Infection was the 4th studio album by the British-American band of the same name, The Infection. This album marked the 2nd time Sandy Cheeks played drums due to Patrick Star's departure.

The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised front-man SpongeBob SquarePants and Sandy Cheeks's songwriting and sarcastic sense of humor. Despite the positive reviews, the album was also a commercial failure and featured one of the singles that would later to become one of their greatest hits. The album has nonetheless been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has sold over 1.2 million copies as of 2015.

It would later be re-released 10th years later in May 2012, with 5 added tracks that were cut from the original release.
