**Traffic Jam** is the second studio album by the British-American band The Infection. It was released on August 28, 1997. This was the first time the band released 8 singles in a row, with the last one being released in June 1998. The album became an unexpected critical and commercial success.

Upon its release, the album received critical acclaim, and won the band a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album in 1998. It was also a worldwide success, reaching number two in the United States and the top five in several other countries; it is credited with bringing post-grunge to mainstream popularity. Three music videos "Start Scamming", "Lost City" and "I Have Lips" would both receive awards for "Best Rock Video", "Best Alternative Video" and "Best Special Effects in a Video" at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.

This was the band's first album under Reprise and the first album to include a enhanced CD. The CD included the music videos for the 7 singles, along with an hour long documentary of SpongeBob and Sandy's daily life. The album was supported by the Traffic Jam Tour, which included the Disney World show that was sponsored by several Anime clubs and is considered one of the very best in the band's history.

A 25th anniversary super deluxe edition was released on June 19th, 2022 via Geffen Records after being delayed for almost 4 years due to the deaths of Sandy Cheeks and SpongeBob SquarePants and legal issues with the SquarePants-Cheeks estate. The album contained unreleased B-sides, demos and rarities. It also includes tracks that were supposed to be apart of the 2nd album, but were cut from the final track-listing due to Reprise wanting a 15-tracklist album instead.
