Beautiful Machine is the seventh album from Shihad and was released 21 April 2008 in New Zealand and released 17 May 2008 in Australia.



The album is much softer than previous Shihad releases, including many electronica elements and 80's backing rhythms - to the point where lead singer Jon Toogood has called some tracks "dance songs."



The lead single "One Will Hear the Other" was released early January 2008, where it became New Zealand's 6th Most Played Song between then and March.



"Vampires" was the albums second single --- and has surpassed "One Will Hear the Other" in airplay, peaking as the 4th Most Played Song in New Zealand, as well as the Most Played Kiwi song on the radio.



"Beautiful Machine" has been named the third single, with glam-rock track "Rule the World" also receiving funding from RIANZ to have a video produced later in the year.
