Human Conditions (English: Human states) is the second solo album from the Northern English songwriter Richard Ashcroft and was published on 21 October 2002.

Description

Striking about the second album by Richard Ashcroft is the great spiritual, soulful component that makes them stand out many of the songs on classic song length of four minutes. But the usual Britpop sound is to find on the album and leaves the disk as a logical conclusion from the Urban Hymns and its debut album detect. With Lord I've Been Trying it also contains a song that already comes from the 1996 song repertoire by The Verve.

The album is to be understood as a multi-perspective view of Ashcroft himself and his place in the world. Superficially, it describes mental and social conditions and acts of depression and love, religion and the search for meaning. The closing track Nature Is the Law was created in collaboration with the songwriter of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, and is a pantheistic homage to the Ashcroft's life.
