Miss Machine is the band's first full-length album since Calculating Infinity and a chain of events that shook up the band -- the car accident prior to the recording of Calculating Infinity that left original bassist Adam Doll paralyzed, the departure of original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, recording an EP (Irony is a Dead Scene) with Mike Patton, and the addition of replacement vocalist Greg Puciato to the band.

Puciato has said in an interview that most of the lyrics for the songs on the album, and the album's title Miss Machine, were inspired by relationship troubles.

Miss Machine is probably the band's most mainstream-friendly release to date, as the band draws from the experience of working with Mike Patton and the industrial influence of Greg Puciato's other project, Error.
