History YMMV / Delain

** The album had a prominent theme about the world changing for the worse and humans acting indifferent to it, was released just as the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]] was in its early stages of unfolding.
** It would also end up being the final album released prior to the breakup post in 2021.

* FanPreferredCouple: A surprising amount of people [[LesYay shipped]] Charlotte and Merel while the lattter was part of the band. Some people also ship Timo and Ruben. Although neither pairing is probably going to happen. Considering the way Charlotte and Merel act on stage and together [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/4feaa88d136fa15d6a9175a19fc988a6/tumblr_onvvuiZTTM1skw06yo1_500.jpg it's]] [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/182d1dfb72f293702b3c8713397e7ac9/tumblr_og9nlgSeMR1qhlv4co1_1280.jpg easy]] [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/c6b2318d0162b46ab3af2a87d9c028ab/tumblr_og9nlgSeMR1qhlv4co2_500.jpg to]] [[https://68.media.tumblr.com/cae1b7d158a6f92ae11aef2bdbf657f3/tumblr_ofzgomOHqN1qhlv4co1_500.jpg see]] [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/03e2da7179f428e4e3c30f9414c0c0b0/tumblr_op3d3ojhJ21vvqbx0o4_500.gif why]] [[http://musikfurfreiheit.tumblr.com/image/159983256990 the]] [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/6514dd65c8a1daa32e7eb3d6221b6e4a/tumblr_oovogiml6y1qhlv4co2_1280.jpg fans]] [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/b2b947e6124724b30475af8828ce398b/tumblr_onw97y7mrw1qhlv4co2_1280.jpg might]] [[http://68.media.tumblr.com/6a706be0c1662a03b58f70fdb45072de/tumblr_onr5m6qHYV1qhlv4co6_1280.jpg think]] [[http://musikfurfreiheit.tumblr.com/image/158273662720 that...]] But ItDoesntMeanAnything.

* FaceOfTheBand: Charlotte Wessels. The cover for "April Rain" is infamous for only showing Charlotte in colour while the other band members are essentially shown as silhouettes, thus provides the image for the trope. Becomes HilariousInHindsight as since the release of the album the guitar player, drummer, bassist and indeed Charlotte herself have left. In fact, the [[RevolvingDoorBand guitarist they got in for the tour had also left the band]]! Given all that, it may surprise people that it is in fact keyboard player Martijn Westerholt (Music/WithinTemptation's Robert's brother) who leads the outfit.

* HarsherInHindsight: 2020's ''Apocalypse & Chill'', which had a prominent theme about the world changing for the worse and humans acting indifferent to it, was released just as the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]] was in its early stages of unfolding.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Charlotte's blunt anger towards the medical industry in "Your Body Is A Battleground" copped some negative feedback from the fanbase. Although there are valid concerns regarding the obscene profits and disproportionate influence wielded by the medical industrial complex, the fact remains that many lives has been improved through easily accessible medication, something which Charlotte ends up addressing herself in "Chemical Redemption".
