    JC Chasez should be castrated. He sucks; what a disgrace to music!

    The only thing worse than the music is the embarrassingly bad album cover. What is the deal with 1) the straightjacket; 2) the four other images behind him; and 3) the awful haircut? I know it's supposed to relate to the album, but gimme a break, he looks like Little Nicky.

    The title itself is degrading to actual schizophrenics and people with mental illness. Obviously this lame prat thinks its cute, while not even considering that there are people out there with that disease who actually are suffering. But apparently he didn't bother to do his homework, based on the lack of gravity of the disease he possesses.

Obviously this lame prat thinks its cute, while not even considering that there are people out there with that disease who actually are suffering. But apparently he didn't bother to do his homework, based on the lack of gravity of the disease he possesses. Obviously he is not schizophrenic; making his album title "Schizophrenic" is, in its truth, the equivalent of "Cancer Patient" or another severe disease. Schizophrenia is not an exception. It is a disease. So is cancer. People and their families suffer from it; so is the same with cancer. Also, Chasez promotes misinformation of what is already a highly misunderstood idea. And if JC, had, again, done his homework, he might actually know (and what a BIZARRE notion that is) that not all schizophrenics are locked up somewhere in straight jackets. Expand

  1. A smartly schizophrenic solo debut filled with the anything-goes dancefloor abandon of the ‘80s.
  2. Ultimately, all his genre-grazing makes him seem slippery rather than adventurous.
  3. On Schizophrenic Chasez attempts to reanimate early-80s electro, disco and new wave back into pop.
