Fans will be all too familiar with the alphabetical structure of Waterparks releases but outside of this, how would Knight define the term ‘Intellectual Property’? The thing is, if you’re doing it, because it’s fun, and you love it, and all this shit, and it’s like, that’s great. Amazing. Do it, do it if you love it. But like, I get bummed when I see people and they’re doing this because they feel like they have to…? I was gonna say, It’s so loud we have to wear earplugs, or like in ear monitors. Or we’re sitting on top of either a roof or like a giant hill, on the beach, and we’re at the lifeguard thing. And we have megaphones, and you’re asking me questions loudly and I’m answering even louder. That would be crazy. Um, or me think maybe we’re at a studio kitchen. I’m cooking stuff while you ask questions… I don’t wanna give away too much about it,” he adds, “but it’s the way that you look at love, and how it evolves as you mature. It means different things every time throughout the years.”

For “RITUAL,” everything just builds and spirals. That song is like the “lashing out.”Norton, Jessica (November 9, 2015). "Don't Tell 5SOS, But the Madden Brothers Have a New Fave Band". MTV.

I think we did talk about how Greatest Hits is kind of like an inside album the last time we spoke; but this one is definitely more outside. Most of Waterparks’ songs I enjoy them outside. I still think Greatest Hits stands out as an album from the discography because it does have that inside feeling to it.

Five albums into their career and with hundreds of viral tweets and TikToks behind him, you’d think we’d be getting closer to working Awsten out. But on INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, the 31-year-old unveils a whole new side to his make-up that hadn’t previously been broadcast so openly: religious guilt. It was. I always let myself get to a point where it’s very, very vulnerable, and every album has its peaks; but I think this time it was more. I let it be more about other people as well. There’s obviously a lot of emotionally deeper, touchy or, sensitive seeming things, but, I think it’s just maybe more well done this time around.

"Waterparks – Intellectual Property". Square One Magazine . Retrieved April 26, 2023. There are glittery, sing-songy moments with a Merry Go ‘Round facade and dark lyrical turns with songs like lead single “FUNERAL GREY” and “2 BEST FRIENDS.” But more than ever, Waterparks does not hesitate to spiral out of control with aggressively charged moments and masterfully distorted sounds with Intellectual Property . Whether it is “REAL SUPER DARK,” the perfect blend of punk and electronic, the anthemic, thrilling ascension of “END OF WATER (FEEL),” or the untamed sonic beast, “RITUAL,” Intellectual Property proves that there is truly no limits to what Waterparks can do as a three-piece. Yeah and like, dude, I can’t sit still and you see it! I have to be doing other shit. Everything leads to something. So I think there’s always an opportunity to do something that excites you.
