As a post-MCR album, Frank Iero's solo debut is great. The raw, lo-fi production is great, though it can be mixed better, the lyrics are great and the guitar work is as good as you can get with Frankie. Overall, this is kinda under the radar... so I recommend you give this a shot if you like some sad, catchy punk rock.
