Alloy review - three stars!
One last review before bed. A good one! Seen by me at the House of Fear and Loathing, posted by Jayne. From alloy.com.
Schizophrenic, JC Chasez
Release Date: February 24, 2004
Three stars [out of four, I believe]
I admit it. I was hesitant. I mean, come on -- another groupie goes solo? Enough already! Well, JC Chasez officially proved me wrong. While his disco-dance-pop may not be the kind of music I listen to on a regular basis, those who do will find their booties shakin' and lips syncin' after just one listen. Rather than recruiting "it" producers The Neptunes as his fellow bandmate Justin Timberlake did on his debut solo album, JC went underground and organic with beat masters Basement Jaxx and Robb Boldt on the retro-leaning songs "All Day Long I Dream About Sex," "100 Ways" and "Some Girls (Dance with Women)." The album lives up to its title by being schizophrenic -- but not in a needs-to-be-locked-up sorta way. JC intelligently explores various sides of his musical ambition, from dance floor tunes ("Shake It") to bedroom tunes ("Lose Myself"), to relaxin' tunes ("Everything You Want"). Yet another member truly gets 'NSYNC with his talent.

Why did I read that as 'underground and orgasmic'? Damn you, freudian slips!
And since when has JC become a groupie? That's a weird way of putting it. But then again, this woman might be a strong believer in the JuC, but a big part of me (the same part that read that as 'orgasmic') doubts that completely.

You never know, man. Maybe she's a slasher! Now that would be hilarious. ;-)

Weh?
I assure you, I didn't link to your journal. And if I had, it would have been a mistake.
I just looked at the code and I see what happened. I didn't add the URL for the JJB, so the link was empty. Since you were reading from your own journal, that's where the empty link took you.

No problem! Sorry if I sounded snippy. :-)
