Here’s what critics have had to say about Hesitant Alien:

“One of the freakiest, sexiest, most heroic rock records of 2014.” – BlackBook

“Electrifying… Gerard Way mines Brit pop, glam rock, and iconic guitar heroes for a startling new solo turn.” – MTV

“The liberated-sounding, hummable Hesitant Alien is an excellent entrant, its ambitions realizing themselves in sometimes-surprising ways.” – Wondering Sound

“The world needs rock stars. And Gerard has proved himself to be one of the best.” – Kerrang

“Hesitant Alien has enough requisite cool and clamor to insure he stays both relevant and remarkably vibrant – and, you know, cool as fuck.” – Alternative Press

Hesitant Alien was produced by longtime engineer Doug McKean (MCR’s May Death Never Stop You: The Greatest Hits 2001-2013, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys) and mixed by Tchad Blake (Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys).
