Before the Robots is the studio follow-up album to Better Than Ezra's 2001 studio release Closer and debut album on Artemis Records. It was released on April 4, 2005, internationally and a day later in North America.
The band enjoyed their biggest success since 1996's
Prior to the album's release, the band offered to autograph all copies of the album pre-ordered through their website.
The album title reportedly came to the band's drummer Travis McNabb in a dream. He dreamt of seeing a UK buzz band called Before the Robots. The next day, he asked fellow band members if there was such a band. Upon finding out there was not, they decided to adopt the phrase for this album's title.
On January 22, 2010, American country-pop singer
