As the second member of N Sync (after Justin Timberlake) to release a solo album, JC Chasez doesn't play it safe. As the title implies, the music on SCHIZOPHRENIC is intentionally eclectic. The sensual shuffle of "Some Girls (Dance with Women)" gets the album off to a lively start, and the acoustic funk of "She Got Me" follows, with Chasez's voice and delivery reminiscent of Jamiroquai. "All Day Long I Dream About Sex" is carried by synth and bass lines that recall New Order, and "Right Here (By Your Side)" features a gentle, tropical backdrop. What's clear in each one of Chasez's musical moves is that he's a powerful vocalist who can easily slide into any number of styles. And on "Come to Me," Chasez sings over the unmistakable main riff to Corey Hart's 1980s hit "Sunglasses at Night," an oddly appropriate nod to pop's past.

AMAZING!! Ok, this CD is one of the best I have heard in a long time. I was one of *NSYNC's underage fans, but the sex concept of the album doesn't bother me at all. Justin Timberlake is doing the same thing now. The music and the lyrics are what's important, not the content. Every track tells you a different story. Such as "She Got Me' compared to "Everthing You Want". The styles of each song are so different. I can't say what my favorite song is. I guess all of them are my favorite.
