The More Things Change... is the second album by American heavy metal band Machine Head. The album is the last release featuring the original lead guitarist Logan Mader and the first album to feature current drummer Dave McClain.

The album title alludes to the first part of the phrase: "The more things change, the more they stay the same". In the song "Struck a Nerve", the same phrase is mentioned during the chorus.
