Selfish Machines

Selfish Machines is the second studio album by American rock band Pierce the Veil, released by Equal Vision Records on June 22, 2010. Produced by Vic Fuentes and Mike Green, it was recorded in late 2009 and early 2010. Fuentes wrote most of the songs, and co-wrote three songs with former A Day to Remember guitarist Tom Denney. A Day to Remember frontman Jeremy McKinnon was featured on the track "Caraphernelia", which had a music video released on September 28, 2010. "Bulletproof Love" was released as the follow-up music video on July 7, 2011. The album released to a mostly favorable critical reception, with reviewers praising the lyricism, instrumentation and experimental approach to its sound, while the use of Auto-Tune on some tracks was less favorably received, and Fuentes' vocals were met with a divisive response from some listeners. Nonetheless, it received moderate success and appeared on several US Billboard charts, including the Top Heatseekers and the top 200 charts. The album was reissued with remixed production, on September 24, 2013. It was certified Gold in the United States by the RIAA on June 13, 2025.
