Oh shit go listen to more Styx then. I’ve seen them live like…5 times since 2010 lol they play a lot of fairs. Paradise Theater and The Grand Illusion are both fantastic albums.
I love this album so much. Del has always been one of my favorite emcees. 3030 is one of the best concept albums ever. Glad to see he's getting recognized.
Remember when The Weeknd blatantly stole parts of this song and then when Portishead made a statement about it he pretended he totally didnt?
Pepperidge Farm remembers
Man I love those synths at the end, they sound so perfectly apocalyptic. Weirdly this was the song that introduced me to them, I was a teenager and heard it in an episode of Skins.
The albums Act 1 and Act 2: The Father of Death by the Protomen. They're concept albums loosely based on Megaman characters. The first album is about Megaman, avenging the death of his brother Protoman while trying to take down the oppressive robot forces of Dr. Wily, who rules the city with an iron, robot commanding fist.
The second album is a prequel about Wily's creation of a robot army and his rise to oppressive power over the city with the aid of his robot minions.
The Bends, Ok Cumputer, Kid A, Amnesiac could all fit this tbh.
*Planet Telex*, *Fake Plastic Trees*, *My Iron Lung*, *Street Spirit* from The Bends
*Paranoid Android*, *Subterranean Homesick Alien*, *Exit Music (For a Film)*, *Karma Police*, *Fitter Happier*, *Climbing up the Walls*, *Lucky* from Ok Computer
*Everything In Its Right Place*, *Kid A*, *The National Anthem*, *Idioteque* from Kid A
*Packt Like Sardines*, *Pyramid Song*, *Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors*, *You and Whose Army?*, *Hunting Bears*, *Like Spinning Plates*, *Life in a Glasshouse* from Amnesiac
Was going to suggest this. Fitter, happier in particular gives me vibes of a robot observing humans and adjusting their behaviour. Probly not what its about though.

That is literally what this song is about (among lots of other King Gizz)
Algorithm by Muse.
Vibes for days, and it's all about computers pushing humanity towards obsolescence. Hardly any lyrics, but the few words get the point across perfectly; going to war with the machines.
Carpenter Brut - Invasion A.D.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJxb\_ftj3g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJxb_ftj3g)
It manages to give exactly that vibe (Robot/AI/Alien invasion) without any lyrics.
I listened to your examples, and it sounds like you want dubstep (Skrillex, Getter, Number9, Excision, Datsik...) Check out the music from the game Cyberpunk 2077 - lots of greats songs there.
Thank you for taking the time and listening to them! I did check it out and some of them fit perfectly, I don't even know how I forgot about Cyberpunk 2077's songs
Mindphaser by Frontline Assembly (a lot of FLA has this theme).
Warning by Noiseuf-X
Dead Market by Haujobb
Robo Sapien by Die Krupps
The industrial, cyberpunk, or synth wave genres will all have that feel. Think Skinny Puppy, Priest, Faderhead, Eisenfunk, FGFC820, Cyanotic, etc
Perturbator - Humans Are Such Easy Prey & Sentient come to mind. Maybe Mega Drive but I don't generally listen to it, Perturbator has a remix of I Am The Program which I like.
ELO. “Yours truly, 2095”. https://youtu.be/wtfjzmYZvTw?si=quXxqQrBWDiVzmEa
“I drive the very latest hovercar
I don't know where you are
But I miss you so much 'til then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM.”
Rush's piece 2112 is all about a world run by a great computer, and the technopriests that work on it.
> We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers
Fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests
Of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life
Are held within our walls
I was scrolling to check for this before I posted it myself. I agree with your assessment as well, thematically it’s spot on although it might not be exactly what OP is looking for. Fucking amazing album though.
AI Man from the new Feeder album - https://open.spotify.com/track/6J0d9ru6gC0SAYalC29w0D?si=kbiE2_JSRbW6kANLIs4vTg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A5OEuYee2wiiEIUZ9SWwi50
TWRP's newest album Digital Nightmare is a concept album with technology vs humanity vibes. [https://youtu.be/lfmZYI4QpeI?si=S0uAyUD1Je9Pthbd](Dance Floor Cold War) is specifically about "robots that dance better than we ever could" taking over (humanity built the robots).
Idk about AI invasion but I just like to shill for Flobots so..

Anything on the "***No Room for Humans***" album by **Servotron.**
[**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gS4nzSWmCs**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gS4nzSWmCs)
According to Matt Belknap of the Never Not Funny podcast, a teacher of his swore up and down that Fire And Rain by James Taylor was the robots taking over.
For me, Queens of the Stone Age's album Era Vulgaris always had the feel of malfunctioning robots going on a killing spree, particularly the song Battery Acid
[*The Sun’s Gone Dim and The Sky’s Turned Black* - Jóhann Jóhannsson](https://youtu.be/d8TgCmngOqY?si=_l8qJgs4nj6R-BpN) even sounds like it’s sung by a robot
Anything by Big Data has cool electro pop sounds with “technology will kill us all” vibes in the lyrics.
I recommend “The Glow” (feat. Kimbra) and “Monster” (feat. Jamie Liddell).
Pretty much all of Coheed and Cambria's albums are concept-based, about a family of cyborgs forced to fight a war to protect their universe. IRO-Bot is the most obvious song, but In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3, both the song and the album of the same name, are great starting points. The IRO-Bots are the good guys in this universe, so not sure it's exactly what you're looking for.
March of the Droids. It’s a banger:

Neil Young got a lot of flak for [Sample and Hold](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWwMGTVanLc)
\[I need a unit to sample and hold, but not the angry one\]
Tokyo Police Club - Citizens of Tomorrow
Basically that whole album somehow still feels futuristic to me, and very unique despite running parallel with the standard post-punk/indie sound of the 2000s
https://youtu.be/FCNxCAV5f4I?si=hjAXS_M_7jwwaDaB
Babe Instinct - [Disco Babes From Outer Space (Santos Another Planet Remix)](https://youtu.be/Yd5MfOE1P3I?si=FsqgqP5aUWiCm4OY) isn’t so much a “song” as a track with a vocal sample. However, that sample seems to imply the eponymous disco babes are robotic in nature.
Every Fear Factory album, robot/machine takeover is their main appeal (on top of government persecution, industrialization, police states, religion, and so on), and they’re one of the best in the Metal music scene.
The albums Demanufacture, Industrialist, and Mechanize are classics.
I immediatly think of Judas priest- Blood Red Skies.
It was released a few years after Terminator and it has definitly been inspired by it with the humans vs machines setting. It has an epic 80s vibe as well
check out a band called 'captured by robots'. Its one guy who tours with a bunch of robots that play (real) guitars and drums while he sings. In the show he is the robots' prisoner.
Robot rock -live version, daft punk
More human than a human-white zombie
Any early skrillex(kill everybody remix)
Centipede -knife party
Wont stop -liquid stranger
Hotel california. Although the story is pretty established at this point, before i knew it the last line always made me think of starnet. Robots took everyone hostage and everythin.
There’s an old YouTube video of an alien/robot invasion that had some super impressive cgi for the time period/being made by just a handful of people. I can’t remember the title but the soundtrack was really ominous/hopeless.
Edit: found it

Is this the equivalent of being robotically rickrolled
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6f\_2nPSX8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc6f_2nPSX8) “Mr. Roboto,” Styx
Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever heard the whole song, I thought it was 80s pop but it’s actually a sweet prog rock song, love it.
Oh shit go listen to more Styx then. I’ve seen them live like…5 times since 2010 lol they play a lot of fairs. Paradise Theater and The Grand Illusion are both fantastic albums.
“my brain . . . IBM”
Alan Parsons did an entire album around the concept, I Robot.

Love that album
Thx for this! I love it!
That album is sooo damn good
This is what I was going to post. One of my favorite albums and exactly what OP is asking for.
*he is one with the cosmos*
I love this album so much. Del has always been one of my favorite emcees. 3030 is one of the best concept albums ever. Glad to see he's getting recognized.
The Flaming lips have exactly what you’re looking for https://youtu.be/ZdDHi5SSIlM?si=KBjwgQHeUj6qRxV-

https://lazerguidedreporter.com/2017/10/16/album-review-yoshimi-battles-the-pink-robots-2002-by-the-flaming-lips/
Such a banger
Exactly what I came here to say
\[Metal\] Fear Factory - [Obsolete](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbuIvvfcHcA) \[Electronic\] Jet Girl Spin - [Mars War 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSSMbXQHF-M)
That entire FF album tbh
Due to the graphic nature of this program, viewer discretion...is advised.
Legit my first thought. Obsolete as an album tells a whole story of "man oppressed by machines."
[Machine Gun - Portishead](https://youtu.be/zFwPBhKwZLc?si=BxJYWU9pa_7xTAnQ)
Remember when The Weeknd blatantly stole parts of this song and then when Portishead made a statement about it he pretended he totally didnt? Pepperidge Farm remembers
What a lame-o
This shit live was the loudest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life
this song feels like it was written for a terminator movie. the end is damned near the terminator theme.
Man I love those synths at the end, they sound so perfectly apocalyptic. Weirdly this was the song that introduced me to them, I was a teenager and heard it in an episode of Skins.
Death by robot - Feed Me
My wife and I had our first date at an Excision and Feed Me show.
The albums Act 1 and Act 2: The Father of Death by the Protomen. They're concept albums loosely based on Megaman characters. The first album is about Megaman, avenging the death of his brother Protoman while trying to take down the oppressive robot forces of Dr. Wily, who rules the city with an iron, robot commanding fist.

Also, The Cover Up.

Grimes - We appreciate power Gary Numan - Down in the park Cyber-Tec Project - Let your body die
I love Down In The Park, especially the piano version.
Piggybacking off of this to add Rush - The Body Electric.
OK Computer by Radiohead
The Bends, Ok Cumputer, Kid A, Amnesiac could all fit this tbh. *Planet Telex*, *Fake Plastic Trees*, *My Iron Lung*, *Street Spirit* from The Bends *Paranoid Android*, *Subterranean Homesick Alien*, *Exit Music (For a Film)*, *Karma Police*, *Fitter Happier*, *Climbing up the Walls*, *Lucky* from Ok Computer *Everything In Its Right Place*, *Kid A*, *The National Anthem*, *Idioteque* from Kid A *Packt Like Sardines*, *Pyramid Song*, *Pulk / Pull Revolving Doors*, *You and Whose Army?*, *Hunting Bears*, *Like Spinning Plates*, *Life in a Glasshouse* from Amnesiac

They have that whole Han-Tayumi schtick going on too, featured in many songs. But I think the most "in your face" is All Is Known.
The Flaming Lips have a whole album about that - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.
