    You'd be crazy not to like this. 100 ways and ADDIDAS are some of the best songs I've heard ever.

    I was waiting for JC's CD for years (since those times when he didn't even consider to make one ;)) I love his voice, I like his eclectic taste in music. His solo album exceeded all my hopes. My favorite songs are: 100 Ways, Shake It, Come To Me, Everything You Want. (It won't be released here (in Russia), so people have to buy his CD from Amazon though it would be much I was waiting for JC's CD for years (since those times when he didn't even consider to make one ;)) I love his voice, I like his eclectic taste in music.

    This album is a great one to listen to from beginning to end. All the tracks are so different, you could play it like a mix cd.

    It rox!!!! I understand that everyone has their own opinions, and this is mind. I will always appreciate how hard JC has to work to get out of the boy-band perspective, this album does that for him.

    It was with great anticipation that I went to buy Schizophrenic on the release date. Honestly, I had high expectations, but I was also a bit doubtful of JC, not because he's not talented, but because I KNEW he was going to be compared to the other *NSYNC member that released an album last year. That said, the album is AMAZING, and I'm not exaggerating. Songs like100 Ways, Build It was with great anticipation that I went to buy Schizophrenic on the release date.

Truth be told, there is not one song that you'd want to skip (maybe track #2), and that's something you don't get on every CD, especially now a days. So, it is with great pride and joy that I say, I AM A JC FAN, and darn it, I'm comfortable saying that, despite me being a guy. … Expand

    finally, an album that dares to be fresh and different in the world of the cookie cutter albums. JC doesnt rely on big names ? just big talent. a must-own. you won't skip a single track.

    JC has impressed me wih his debut solo effort. Schizophrenic is an eclectic blend of pop, rock, r&b, and hip hop influenced songs. What would a review of JC's album be without a comparison with Justin's Justified. In my opinion, Schizophrenic is a much better album that is more daring and diverse that Justin's album.

    A smartly schizophrenic solo debut filled with the anything-goes dancefloor abandon of the ‘80s.

    Ultimately, all his genre-grazing makes him seem slippery rather than adventurous.

    On Schizophrenic Chasez attempts to reanimate early-80s electro, disco and new wave back into pop.
