Fair take honestly it’s not my favourite, I think they’re just evolving into a more pop format band and for me they have more to say in a more alternative scene.But you also have to acknowledge other things that have been awesome about this era the shows have had very high production quality awesome lighting good set etc just hoping the next album hits more for me 🙏

not to be IMMENSELY controversial but I would like to voice a thought that I've had for exactly a year now: Intellectual Property isn't that good. It's kinda bad, actually, and I think we need to stop acting like it's lived up to the expectations the band and it's marketing set for it

If I may be so bold as to elaborate: parx peaked at fandom. This was the first album that really had something to SAY. A thru C, and even double dare, were all classic teenage angst, and entertainment was a delightful breakup album, but fandom decided to take a swing at parx's infamously toxic fanbase with a side of recovering from the aforementioned breakup. It was also a pretty marked shift in parx's sound: each release has been sonically distinct, and you can travel a pretty clear evolution from the sound in airplane conversations to the one in fandom, but the shift between entertainment and fandom was HUGE (and controversial). The band was experimenting and was taking on more serious and heavier topics, and it pulled that off flawlessly.

Greatest hits felt almost like a natural continuation of fandom. Awsten goes to therapy and is on the path to getting better! It's an honest exploration of mental health and the difficulties of ever-increasing fame, it remains experimental yet delightful, it's really everything a person can want in a parx album. 10/10, fuckin banger.

But IP? Its lead single has some of the worst lyricism the band has e v e r released, and although it's sound feels like a natural evolution from fandom and GH, it just feels... lacking? static? two best friends gets real repetitive real quick, and the album is just a bit of a slog to get through. I've tried and tried and tried, but the only songs that ever stick out to me (other for funeral grey for just being bad, soz) are real super dark and ritual, and BOY HOWDY does ritual also get real repetitive real quick, and also have some lackluster lyricism. And what does IP really have to say? It's not an honest exploration of anything, really: not mental health, not the fandom, not fame, nothing. Perhaps it can be seen as an exploration of falling in love? In pining? But fandom did that better as a side theme. For an album that Awsten was touting as being meticulously crafted and their best work, it's clearly neither one.

Idk, IP just left a lot to be desired, and as the tour wraps up and the next album approaches, I'm hoping to see and hear better
