==Overview== | |||
====Development==== | |||
"I'm a Robot" came to exist in its final form in July of [[2004]], with [[July 31]] being the first date in the recording history to list the song as "I'm a Robot". The song evolved over time from the [[2002]] track "[[Prodigy Lover]]" (thus sharing a number in the [[Catalog of Riffs]]), with "I'm a Robot" seemingly only retaining the chord progression of the verse of "Prodigy Lover". | |||
From "Prodigy Lover", the song evolved multiple times as demo recordings by Rivers, first as a song called "Kings of Money", then an untitled revision, then "Show Me Who You Are", then "Happy Robot", before finally becoming "I'm a Robot". Aside from "Prodigy Lover" and "I'm a Robot", these titles are only known from the recording history and do not circulate among fans. | |||
====''Make Believe'' contender, ''Death to False Metal''==== | |||
"I'm a Robot" was completed during initial sessions for the band's ''[[Make Believe]]'' album. The song was one of twelve specific songs initially recorded by the band after Rivers had done much writing and revising. However, after much reconsideration from the band in late 2004 and early [[2005]], several of these completed songs were cut, including "I'm a Robot", becoming one of what is known as the [[Fallen Soldiers|"Fallen Soliders"]] of the album. | |||
In [[2010]], when assembling the ''Death to False Metal'' album, the completed 2004 version of "I'm a Robot" was reconsidered and included on the album. | |||
