JC Chasez could not have called his solo debut anything but "Schizophrenic." Produced by Robb Boldt, Basement Jaxx and Riprock 'n' Alex G, among others, it is wonderfully all over the musical map, from electro and funk to dance/electronic and pop. Throughout, Chasez, who co-wrote every track, keeps his eye on the dancefloor—though a couple ballads ("Dear Goodbye," "Build My World") make their beauty known. Elsewhere, the soulful "She Got Me," the bouncy "Something Special," the Sting-inflected "Everything You Want," the bootylicious "Shake It" and the hypnotic "All Day Long I Dream About Sex" shine incredibly bright. "One Night Stand" and "Come to Me" cleverly reference Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night," respectively. This is adventurous stuff for a Mickey Mouse Club graduate who went on to become a member of 'N Sync.—MP
