>"I Feel Love" in a doo-wop voice and quotes Smokey

>Schizophrenic is all stylistic pastiche and adventure,

>Clearly, Chasez didn't get and keep his place in NSYNC

>and the extraordinarily well-sung "Dear Goodbye"
>prove. "Everything You Want" is ace late-era Police.
>But most important, Chasez does what works for his

>("Mercy"), chanting strong New Wave ("All Day Long I
>Think About Sex"), lifting off Stevie Wonder-style
>celebrations ("She Got Me") and reporting the latest
>nightlife news ("Some Girls [Dance With Women["). No
>doubt about it, Schizophrenic is a lot. It's also
>cool.
