The 2006 re-release features the first ever live performance of "The Oblivion Gene", later to appear in its full re-recorded form on the subsequent album Domine Non Es Dignus.^[1] The title "Human, All Too Fucking Human" is a reference to Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical text Human, All Too Human (Menschliches, Allzumenschliches, 1878).
