Dallas Morning News - Schizophrenic

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.
