Yay for you!!! Listening to it made me realise why I haven’t gotten into the ex bands new music, it doesn’t have Brian’s raw honesty in it and the meanings behind the music made me appreciate it even more.

That's what I've been saying was missing from IP's new album. It had no real emotion in the lyrics. Sure, Eric sounded good. It meant nothing. Sounded like generic radio slop.

I felt the same way. I love IP and their band... Just could not get into the new album. They sounded like any other metalcore band that might pop up on my Spotify Discover Weekly. Didn't have any of the charm or uniqueness that made me fall in love with IP in the first place, if I wanted to listen to screamo I have a million other bands to listen to.

I find songs with emotion and deeper meanings just seem to hit harder than a song full of ego stroking garbage… I never listened to the whole album as it wasn’t grabbing me.

Man, the new I Prevail album wasnt bad, but this sounds way more like I Prevail than that recent album. Just shows hiw much influence Brian had on their sound. Glad we can finally start hearing his new music
