The Inhuman Condition is the first solo studio release by Canadian musician Sam Roberts, released in 2002.[2] The tracks featured reworked versions of his demo "Brother Down" together with producer and percussionist Jordon Zadorozny.[3][4] The EP peaked at #32 on the Canadian album chart after just nine weeks of being released.[5] This is due mainly to the success of the first single, "Brother Down". The follow-up single, "Don't Walk Away Eileen", further increased the popularity of the EP in the winter of 2002-2003. The album has sold over 50,000 copies and has been certified Gold in Canada.[6] Pitchfork described the EP as "a sturdy, respectable and, intermittently, even thrilling first effort from an artist who has much to say".[7] In 2013 the EP was re-released on vinyl through Paper Bag Records.[8][9]
