Infrared Riding Hood is the fifth and final studio album by the alternative rock band Tad. It was released in 1995 on EastWest/Elektra Records. This album is often regarded as Tad's best work. However, despite enthusiasm and hopes for a long-awaited commercial breakthrough, their A&R representative was fired. Within one week, all of her bands, including Tad, were dropped from the label. The album sold poorly, having had very little promotion behind it and being carried by very few stores.

Album cover

The cover of this album is an "electron micrograph under a blue bleed", as stated by Kurt Danielson (Bassist). "In an odd way, the image seemed appropriate to the album name".
