The More Things Change… is the second studio album by American heavy metal band Machine Head, released on March 25, 1997 through Roadrunner Records. It is the band's last release to feature original guitarist Logan Mader and the first to feature drummer Dave McClain. The album's title alludes to the first part of the phrase, "The more things change, the more they stay the same"; the same phrase is mentioned during the chorus of "Struck a Nerve".

The More Things Change... reached #138 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1997. By July 1998, it had sold 400,000 copies worldwide, with 115,000 copies sold in the United States (as of 2002). In 2020, it was named one of the 20 best metal albums of 1997 by Metal Hammer magazine.
