Spiritual Machines

The album was written and recorded in two months while the band was still on tour in support of their previous record, '' Happiness... Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch'', which had only been released 14 months prior. A combination of lead singer-songwriter Raine Maida's prolific songwriting at the time and lead-guitarist Mike Turner's discovery of ''The Age of Spiritual Machines'' in a bookstore hurried the completion of the album.
