Album Notes & Community Reviews

In the immediate aftermath of My Chemical Romance's sudden breakup, the charismatic frontman executes a sharp, stylistic left-turn for his solo debut. Abandoning theatrical, gothic emo entirely, the record serves as a loud, fuzzy homage to 1990s Britpop and 1970s glam rock, prioritizing massive guitar pedals and David Bowie-esque pop hooks.
