While the title is a quote from William Shakespeare's play Macbeth, Snaith has been quoted as saying that he read it off the back of a milk truck.[15] The album received critical acclaim.[3]

In 2009, Seattle emcee producer Ryan Lewis sampled the song "Subotnik" for "Vipassana," the first track on their critically acclaimed project, The VS. EP.[16]

The Milk of Human Kindness (с англ. — «Молоко человеческой доброты») — третий студийный альбом канадского музыканта Карибу (настоящее имя Дэниел Виктор Снейт), изданный 18 апреля 2005 года[9] лейблами The Leaf Label и Domino Recording Company[13]. Это первый альбом Снейта, выпущенный под псевдонимом Карибу. Хотя название является цитатой из пьесы Уильяма Шекспира «Макбет», Снейт сказал, что прочитал её с кузова молоковоза[14]. Альбом получил признание критиков[2].
