The Senior

Ginuwine described The Senior as "edgier." He further ealborated: "I wasn't trying to do what I did on my first or second album. As you grow, you learn and talk about different things. On every album you can see my growth." Schedulding conflicts prevented him from working with previous collaborator Timbaland. ==Critical reception==

The Senior received generally favorable reviews from music critics, averaging a 60 out of a 100 among averaged reviews on Metacritic. Dan Leory, writing for Yahoo! LAUNCH, felt noted that The Senior "often sounds like he went straight to the graduation party instead. Finally over the grief of his parents' passing, which colored the mellow soul of 2001's The Life deep blue, Ginuwine is once again a randy R&B; stud, offering pony rides to all female comers. And even without Timbaland, who filled G's first two outings with some of his finest future funk, Ginuwine has a game plan as solid as his abs." ==Commercial performance==

The Senior debuted and peaked at number six on the US Billboard 200, selling 122,000 copies in its first week, a little shy of the 152,000 copies Ginuwine's 2001 album The Life had debuted with. On Billboards component charts, it became his first album to top the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The Senior was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for the shipment of over 500,000 copies in the United States. By November 2005, the album had sold over 863,000 units, according to Nielsen Soundscan. ==Track listing==
