Human is the debut EP released by singer-songwriter Darren Criss. Criss independently produced the EP and it was released digitally on July 20, 2010. The EP reached No. 17 on Billboards Top Heatseekers chart. As of April 2013, the EP has sold 27,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielson SoundScan. Album information Background Criss describes that he put off making an EP for a long time because he is a perfectionist, which is why he prefers people to see him play live. Criss recorded the EP in his room in about a week with an audio engineer friend of his. Criss states that each of the songs are "old songs", adding that "Human" was the first song he wrote, back when he was 15. The songs "Sami" and "Not Alone" appeared in the StarKid Productions musical A Very Potter Musical, but Criss had written them beforehand. He wrote "Not Alone" while abroad in Italy and wrote "Sami" for the web series Little White Lie that he and other members of StarKid had done in 2007. Sound Criss finds his music tough to categorize into a certain genre, but stated that he liked the term "soul-folk".

Notable quotes

“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”
— Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See (1990)
“All right. It's instinctive. But the instinct can be fought. We're human beings with the blood of a million savage years on our hands! But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers... but we're not going to kill today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to kill — today!”
— Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) in Star Trek: The Original Series, sn 1, ep. 23: "A Taste of Armageddon" (February 23, 1967), story by Robert Hamner, teleplay by Gene L. Coon and Robert Hamner
“I do not want the voice of the people shut out.”
— Huey Long, remarks in the U.S. Senate, May 16, 1932, Congressional Record, vol. 75, p. 10,297
“Humankind has become so much one family that we cannot ensure our own prosperity except by ensuring that of everyone else. If you wish to be happy yourself, you must resign yourself to seeing others also happy.”
— Bertrand Russell, "The Science to Save Us from Science", in The New York Times (19 March 1950)
“Social science means inventing a certain brand of human we can understand.”
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms (2010), "The Sage, the Weak, and the Magnificent", p. 95
“In the last analysis, my fellow countrymen, as we in America would be the first to claim, a people are responsible for the acts of their government.”
— Woodrow Wilson, address, Columbus, Ohio, September 4, 1919. The Messages and Papers of Woodrow Wilson, ed. Albert Shaw, vol. 2, p. 728 (1924).
