Machina - The Machines of God is The Smashing Pumpkins' fifth studio album, released on February 29, 2000. It is a concept album, albeit very loosely.
Machina was the band's final official LP release prior to their first breakup in 2000. A sequel album - Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music - was released independently via the internet.
As with Adore, Machina represented a drastic image and sound change for the band. Nonetheless, Machina, like its predecessor, failed to reconnect the Pumpkins with chart-topping success. However, the band's tours in support of Machina, entitled Resume the Pose and The Sacred + Profane, were far more successful than the Adore tour, as fans responded to the return of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and setlists that included far more of the Pumpkins' back catalog.
