Beautiful Machine is the seventh album by Shihad and was released on 21 April 2008 in New Zealand and 17 May 2008 in Australia.The album is much softer than previous Shihad releases, including many electronica elements and '80s 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 peaked as the second most played Kiwi song.
