I'm finally listening to Hesitant Alien, Gerard Way's solo release. It is ... very 90s Britpop. I know I will need to listen to it at least a few more times so I can actually take in the songs and give them a chance without the current brain overlay of THIS IS NOT MCR AND I AM NOT SURE I'M OKAY WITH THAT YET
It still feels really weird to me that I immediately fell for the new FOB single "Centuries" (even if the video is the type of ridiculous that means I don't really want to watch it again), but I'm having to emotionally sidle up to the GWay album. However, GWay looks damn good in this incarnation, with his deliberate nods to iconic Bowie styles. And Lola, the furry, gender-neutral mascot of the album is adorable.
But "Centuries"! Not only is it kinda the perfect song for someone to do a Vampire Chronicles fanvid to, but it has trademark Pete Wentz is not an emotional role model lyrics. "I never meant for you to fix yourself", yeeeaaaah.
(The FOB single that was done for Big Hero 6 is a smidge too synthpoppy/autotuned for it to immediately grab my heart, so I will just keep listening to "Centuries" on repeat.)
(Actually, I'm not sure what it says about my brain that I kind of want to listen to an endless loop of "Centuries" and "Fake Your Death", the last MCR single.)
(Admit it, all of you have missed my bandom flailing. ADMIT IT.)
