I think it highlights that Human doesn't seem to have a coinsistent desugn on that sort of thing - I've never designed an icon set, so I can really only observe and record my reaction, but it does seem to feel 'mishmashy' :P
I am 'producing' for some time today, but if I get time I might pick out some good examples of this...

I think the fact that they are more realistic than Human) makes them feel more modern. also, more of the icons are drawn on an angle, not just 'flat' on the desk, which I think contributes to the feeling that that is a modern theme for good, shiny computers!Really? I find echo a bit more cartoonish than Human. Take the disk drive icons, or CD or printer icons for example. That's not to say that Human can't be improved by getting more realistic. I think it can, but the examples below are tough to beat.
That said, I still like echo quite a bit and I think it's a good reference to refer to at times. It may be especially useful as a guide to see which icons they consider most important for the Gnome desktop experience.
