Review - Amazon.com
This is full-frontal Ginuwine. The Life has 15 crisp and clean tracks, three ballads, two mercifully brief interludes, and, praises be, only one guest appearance. With the exception of one or two tracks, the album's subject matter crystallizes Ginuwine's shiny digitized persona: the iced-out, ghetto-down-yet-sensitive, pretty-boy player with a pocket full of money. As a flesh-and-blood artist, Ginuwine is a reasonably talented, trend-conscious love man with the ability to turn fairly ordinary songs about two-way pagers, g-strings, and the myriad pressures of being a hard-working sex symbol into Billboard-bound hits. Even though he focuses on adult topics, Ginuwine's songs seem to center around the type of fantasies 15-year-olds indulge in while watching MTV on a school night. Five of these tracks are up-tempo rump shakers and 10 are turbo-charged, up-on-the-downstroke slow jams. The party songs are cluttered with drum and bass, whistles, mediocre Spanish guitars, and other gimmicks that merely distract from Ginuwine's capable midrange vocals. Stick with the slick slow jams, and he might just get your heart racing. --Rebecca Levine

- Ginuwine strikes again

After two CDs under his belt, Ginuwine release his third and his best CD of his career so far in my opinion.. You may ask why this one is better then his previous two.. He shows a lot of maturity on this cd not only lyrically but musically.. For the first time working with a wider range of producers Timbaland is on board for one track That's How I Get Down with a little help from Ludacris this song is one of the highlites.. The track is vintage Timbaland .. The best moments on the Cd however in my opinion are the ballads 2 Way produced by Raphael Saadiq of Tony Toni Tone fame this song remind me of a song that Tony Toni Tone could have done it has that type of feel written all over the song.. Differences which is the best of the ballads on the CD the song deals with Ginuwine telling the young lady that his playing days is over that he found that special some one that he wants to spend his life with.. Other highlites on the CD Open Arms, Why Did You Go, Tribute To Women, Role Playing.. Show After The Show the best of the uptempo cuts on the CD, There It Is .. There is also a very touching tribute to his mother and father The Reason I Cry beautifully written song.. A pretty good CD should be in your collection fan of Ginuwine or just a fan of R&b this is a must for your collection

- His Best CD Yet

Ginuwine cd The Life was an interesting album. All the songs on the album were interesting and good. Not only did the album deserve five stars but every song on the album deserved five stars also. The title of the album was the perfect title because all the songs was dealing with something that went on in his life. That makes the album even better because many people can relate to the things that went on in his life to the things that they have been through or going through. In conclusion, Ginuwine The Life Cd deserves every star it gets and more.

- A good album is even better in 5.1 Surround.

Ginuwine's The Life album is an excellent album, with hits like "There it Is" and "Differences", but there are many quality songs on this album. Some of these songs are "How Deep is Your Love", "That's how I get Down", "Role Play", etc. This album is even better in the 5.1 Surround sound that Super Audio CD allows. You hear the instruments better, the notes more clearer. It's excellent. A problem that I have with this album is with the song "There It Is", because the version on the SACD album is the clean version. However, the album, itself is not all edited. "That's How I get Down" is in its unedited glory. Nevertheless, it is an album worth getting if you own a Super Audio CD player.

- Another dope album from Ginuwine!

Damn! Can this man make a bad album? I don't think so, cuz this album is HOT! He works with different producers on this album so it sounds a lot more sophisticated and diverse. His lyrics are heartfelt and real, and the music is off tha hook of course! So far my favorites are "2 Way", "Why Not Me", "There It Is", "Just Because" and "Differences". But then again every song on this album is dope! If you liked his first 2 lp's I'm 100% postive you'll like this one. DON'T SLEEP!!! COP THIS ALBUM!
