Paranormalized was the third full-length album by Six Finger Satellite. It was marked by an almost complete reliance on synthesizers, in contrast to their earlier records, in which guitars still played a significant part.

The record was recorded at The Parlour, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, less than a year after the release of "Severe Exposure". Singer J. Ryan would later explain, "That record was put together pretty quick just as an attempt to get back on the road. Our touring for "Severe Exposure" had been pretty spotty." [T. Watts, "Six-fingered aliens beam into town," "The Michigan Daily", 11 Sep 1998 ( [http://www.pub.umich.edu/daily/1998/sep/09-11-98/arts/arts4.html online] ).]
