Contradiction was not as ballad-heavy as Honey, but it did expand on the mixture of funk, soul, and rock that they played with on that album.

The album cover depicts a nude woman feeding a horse a shiny red apple.

It is the fifth and last Ohio Players album to be announced also as a quadraphonic (four-channel stereo) release in the 8-track tape format.

However, it was never actually released as no known copies have surfaced even among collectors, and there is no evidence the remix was ever performed.

All tracks are written by Billy Beck, James Williams, Marshall "Rock" Jones, Marvin Pierce, Ralph Middlebrooks, Clarence Satchell, Leroy Bonner
