Hesitant Alien oozes with the influences of Shoegaze and Brit pop, while emanating Gerard WayвЂ™s signature style. The driving and irresolute melodic line transforms into a climactic keyboard solo two-thirds through вЂ“ Wendy Carlos, anyone? However, this ugly duckling track will grow on you. How ItвЂ™s Going To Be: With a bass drum backdrop that might sound more fitting in Tarzan, вЂњHow ItвЂ™s Going To BeвЂќ seems out of place upon the first listen. And with jagged guitar touches that are reminiscent of PixiesвЂ™ вЂњTame,вЂќ this kickass track is worthy of some grungy loving. Juarez: Flip the record and the first track youвЂ™ll feast your ears upon is вЂњJuarez.вЂќ This songвЂ™s moderate speed makes it no less raucous, noisy, messy, or caffeinated. But this anthem is perhaps more provocative in lyrics such as вЂњThe things we take to make us feel,вЂќ a sore nod to previous battles of drug and alcohol abuse. Be sure to check out the very-pinkВ music video below.Д«rother: One of the more MCR-esque tracks, вЂњBrother,вЂќ reinvents WayвЂ™s theatrical side through its peppy yet simple piano line. It later breaks off into a visceral, epic bridge swimming in saxophones, tambourine, and fuzz-pedal guitars. The song starts off crisp and present, with bright guitars juxtaposing the distorted vocals. No Shows: It would be no mistake to deem вЂњNo ShowsвЂќ the star of the first half of the record. HereвЂ™s a guide to few of my favorite tracks: Hesitant Alien is an unironic throwback to what used to be, and Way does it brilliantly. ItвЂ™s no coincidence, either, that the album cover closely resembles BowieвЂ™s Heroes and Iggy PopвЂ™s The Idiot. Goodbye are the days of skinny jeans and black eyeliner - Way dons a fresh, midnight blue suit, red tie, and crimson-dyed hair. Ready to turn up the nostalgia? Gerard Way, former front man of My Chemical Romance, has returned to the spotlight with his first solo album, Hesitant Alien.
