Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the final studio album from the severely underrated Seattle heavyweights, 'Infrared Riding Hood' captures Tad operating at their absolute sludgiest. The record forcefully bridges the gap between classic grunge aesthetics and the oppressive, grinding riffs of heavy alternative metal. Unfortunately released amidst heavy record-label turmoil, it stands as a brilliant, incredibly punishing conclusion to their influential career.
