''Schizophonic'' is an album from guitarist Nuno Bettencourt , known for being the guitarist in the band Extreme . Bettencourt is credited on the cover simply as "Nuno". The album was released in 1997, and it was his first - and as of 2007 - only solo effort after the group disbanded.

In face of the then-current musical trends Nuno added an Alternative Rock edge to his style, somewhat belatedly. Still, the album did not make commercial impact, failing to impress the alternative rock audiences and to strike a note with his fans from his Extreme days. The album was recorded over a stretch of time during Extreme's tour for their last studio album, '' Waiting For The Punchline ''.

Nuno wrote most of the songs and played all instruments in the album, except for "You", on which vocals are shared with co-author and former bandmate Gary Cherone . The album cover featured Nuno dressed as a woman.
