"More Human is a powerfull CD that completely leaves the style of previous NR cds. There is great news to those of you that don't know. Though side project, and AWESOME band, Element of Surprise (Baudin & Sigaty(Stymie)) has disbanded :(, Nuclear Rabbit is BACK this year. Look for more by this ever changing band."
Not their best, but still good

"This EP, which is now pretty hard to find and probably pretty rare, is not as good as their other 3 albums. I would in fact rate their albums as follows:
1. Intestinal Fortitude (1998)
2. Vicuna (1990-1993)
3. Mutopia (2003)
4. More Human (1999)
This album features Jon Scullion from the band Natt, and this is the only recording he sang on. It also has the same guitarist as on Intestinal Fortitude, Jason Branyan (Pat Garner, the original guitarist, plays on their other 2 albums).
Jon Scullion isn't as good or nearly as original as Greg Parrish, their original (and current) vocalist. In fact, when Greg quite in the summer of 1999, he called Jon (who was his friend) and suggested he sing for the band. That's how he got to being the vocalist for Nuclear Rabbit for this recording (and for some shows). Unfortunately, the songs they came up with with Jon after this EP was released, such as Satan Slipped on my Hardwood Floor and Six Words or Less, were far better than the songs on this recording.
Jon brings a different sound to this band, being more emotional and melodic, though still doing some weird things. Jason Branyan, the guitarist, also does some vocals. One great thing about this CD though is that their doing something different and trying something new. My favorite songs are Disgruntled Temp of the Apocalypse, I Sold My Co-Pilot, and Samurai Robotics (which features no guitar- Jean distorts his bass and Jason does some metal percussion.)
I think the band should repress this CD like they did their other albums and sell them at shows, and, better yet, play some of these songs live."
Not their best, but still very good

"This CD is short but good. Although it can't match up to the classic Vicuna and Intestinal Fortitude, or the recent Mutopia, it stands on its own with 5 solid songs."
God damn kick ass

"For anyone who doesn't know, Nuclear Rabbit is one of the sickest bands out there. I have seen many reviews about this band and though i don't own this particular album i have heard it and i have to say that they are indeed original and anyone who states otherwise does not know a damn thing about music. I implore everyone t go and pick up all of their albums. They are incredible. Polyrhythmics, sick ass riffs and a 9-string bass what else could you want. I love these guys."
Nuclear Rabbit-More Human Review

"Nuclear Rabbit is a tweaker band out of the San Fransisco Bay Area which consisted of guitarist Jason Branyan, 9-string bassist Jean Baudin, vocalist Jon Scullion, and drummer Stymie. Although this is the original line-up that we are all used to, changes have been made to the band and only bassist Jean and drummer Stymie remain. Although the band has gone through major termoil recently, the band was able to once again produce their incredibly unique sound on the new album "More Human". This album takes a slight departure from the cartoonesque sound of the previous albums (Intestinal Fortitude and Vicuna) and heads into a somewhat darker style of playing. But don't let this fool you. The tweaked out and quirky sound is still present, it is just more refined. I thouroughly enjoyed this album. The main reason I love listening to these guys is because of their totaly unique and crazy sound. They seem to effortlessly blend death metal, jazz, funk, classical, modern rock and every other possible form of music into their own unique sound. Their sound is also rather bass intensive thanks to the unpredictable 9-string bassist Jean Baudin who reminds me of Colonel Les Claypool on crack. Unfortunatly although I loved the material on this album, it did lack in one area. It was too short! I have become accustomed to the 27 song album Vicuna and the 12 song album Intestinal Fortitude. With only three song on the album they had only begun to wet my appitite and left me wanting more. Which I guess can be seen as a good thing. If your a fan of Nuclear Rabbit this album is well worth purchasing, as well as their other albums. Check out some of these other bands who sound somewhat simular to NR: Primus, M.I.R.V., Pixies, Ween, Mr. Bungle, and Fantomas. Cant wait till NR decides to go on tour again, I know they plan to put on a good show in the Bay Area."
