Q MagazineOct 3, 2014There was always more going on inside that pretty head than met the eye. On his first release since disbanding My Chemical Romance, you may struggle to hear what that is. [Nov 2014, p.120]

Sep 30, 2014The music is more subdued than My Chemical Romance's, but Way's still not as understated as the influencers he's channeling.
