Background
[ edit ]
According to lead singer Charlotte Wessels , the album's title was inspired by Octavia E. Butler 's science fiction trilogy Lilith's Brood Lilith's Brood but continues the theme of being different that was portrayed by Delain's previous album We Are the Others [2]
Reception
[ edit ]
A joint review by 10 Sonic Seducer The Human Contradiction was a well-produced gothic metal album oriented towards Within Temptation , but without any new impulses.[5] Decibel [6] Metal Hammer The Human Contradiction was in fact different than other releases by Delain in that it contained a tiny musical allowing Charlotte Wessels to present the full range of her voice. The reviewer noted though that the album was "too hard for sophisticated pop, [and] too shallow to have any rocking depth."[4] [3]
