The band decided that they wanted the cover to be white in order to stand out from the many dark album covers that other bands used.

Although the album Inhale/Exhale was never released in Japan, Relapse had made a deal with Ritual Records/Howling Bull for Human 2.0. The band had already had the idea of updating the title for the Japanese release and make it Human 2.01, with additional bonus tracks.

The album contains a number of references to popular culture. "Resistance" uses a quote from the movie The Matrix: "I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer." The song "Sometimes Dead is Better" uses the quote "Welcome to the desert of the real". In "Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow", the beginning quote is from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.

In 2020, it was named one of the 20 best metal albums of 2000 by Metal Hammer magazine.[2]
