Some Kind of Strange is the third studio album by Collide, released on April 22, 2003 by Noiseplus Music.
A video for "Euphoria" was directed by Kevin McVey. This was released on the 2005 DVD "Like the Hunted".
A special edition was released on October 31, 2020. This CD+Blu-ray re-release featured the full album remixed and remastered from the original tracks, the original mix, a 5.1 mix, instrumentals, early versions, previously unreleased bonus tracks, video footage, and other content.
Reception In Music We Trust said the band "churns out a heady cacophony of futuristic and mechanized sounds powered by distorted guitars, robotic rhythms and bigger-than-life synthesized symphonics, and then caps off the beautiful mess with the super-sensual, threatening purrs and dangerous coos of Collide's vampy vocalist"
