Sorry to trot out my pet peeve here, but I figure some people will probably learn something from this, so it won't be complete pedantry. As a psychologist, I should point out that schizophrenia is not the same as multiple personality disorder (now "dissociative identity disorder"). Symptoms associated with schizophrenia include paranoia, delusions (e.g., "hearing voices"), flat affect, and others, none of which is "multiple personalities." Symptoms of schizophrenia can definitely be accompanied by those of dissociative identity disorder, but a diagnosis of schizophrenia does not at all imply multiple personalities. Dave ObIDM: Just found out that Flexistentialism will be released domestically (U.S.) at the end of the month, and is rumoured to include extra tracks.
