Schizophrenic is the debut and only studio album by American recording artist JC Chasez. It was released on February 24, 2004. Two singles were released from the album: "Some Girls (Dance with Women)" and "All Day Long I Dream About Sex". The album received mixed reviews from music critics.

Album information

After his group NSYNC went on hiatus, Chasez teamed up with producer Dallas Austin to record the song "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" for the soundtrack to the 2002 film Drumline. Following the song's success as a single, Chasez began working on a record that he intended to be different from NSYNC's music.[1] The album has a wide variety of live instruments and genres including dance, electronic, R&B and rock. Aside from Chasez, the album features productions from Dallas Austin, Robb Boldt, Basement Jaxx and Riprock 'n' Alex G. With the exception of "Shake It", all songs on the album were co-written and co-produced by Chasez.

Commercial performance

The album peaked at number seventeen on the Billboard 200.[2] It reportedly sold 121,000 copies in total.[3]

Schizophrenic was met with mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 57 based on 16 reviews.[10] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised the producers for taking risks with different genres, concluding with "Chasez may not be able to eclipse Timberlake's star, but in his favor, he does have an album that on a strictly musical level tries harder and achieves more than Justified.[5] James Hunter of Rolling Stone admired JC for going through different genres throughout the album, concluding with "No doubt about it, Schizophrenic is a lot. It's also cool."[7] Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly noticed the '80s influenced production by Riprock and Alex G. but found Chasez's attempt at a new sound to be "a tad misguided."[6]
