Sometimes Way creates a swirling, circular pastiche, sometimes he creates de facto tributes to individual bands ('Millions' is a dead ringer for prime Stone Roses), the two approaches blending to create a heady rush of sexy, stylish postmodern futurism. Rex stomps and flirts with Bowie's interstellar swagger - not to mention his cadence sometimes echoes Eno and he's savvy enough to thread saxophone into the background on 'Get the Gang Together' - but the heart of Hesitant Alien lies in the late '80s and early '90s, the time when all the arty strands of British and American post-punk converged on 120 Minutes. Such deliberate allusions are Gerard Way's sly nod to his audience, an admission of how he belongs to an art-punk tradition that stretches back several decades, but his first solo effort after the disbandment of My Chemical Romance isn't a re-creation of the glory days of glam. Exclusive album bundles will also be available for pre-order on on the same date. Records.The new album will be available for pre-order at all digital retailers beginning Tuesday, August 19th. The very title of Hesitant Alien conjures memories of David Bowie, just like how the album artwork evokes the Thin White Duke's iconic cover for Heroes (which was later repurposed for Bowie's own The Next Day). My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way will release his debut solo album, entitled Hesitant Alien, on September 30th via Warner Bros.
