Throughout all of the personnel changes this group endured, they continued to put out strong powerful and thoughtful CDs of which this is one. Don't just get caught up in the music pay close attention to the lyrics and see if you don't come away with a closer walk with God.

...MIGHT BE OUT OF EDEN'S BEST ALBUM EVER!
Knyte | New York, NY | 02/07/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The First Ladies of Gotee (better known as) Out of Eden never disappoint with their music, and their latest album 'This Is Your Life' is a shining testimony to this. Every song on here is great, but as with all albums, there are standouts. Two of the songs have a futuristic R&B sound, two of them are more traditional (in the mainstream Christian sense), one of them is a Hip-Hop/R&B masterpiece, and one of them is what I like to call, a "unique" track -- a wild card, if you will. Please allow me to explain...The two futuristic R&B tracks are "Day Like Today" (track 2) and "I Am The One" (track 11) - both of these songs were produced by Lisa Kimmey (who co-produced every track by the way) along with Donnie Scantz & Jamie Portee. "Day Like Today" is an upbeat, ultra-percussive celebration of optimism (and praise-giving), while "I Am The One" ends the album on a spiritually powerful note. "Day Like Today" and "I Am The One" should most definitely become radio singles at some point. "Day Like Today" and "I Am The One" are easily my favorite songs on the album.The more traditional-sounding "must-hear" songs are "Now I sing" (track 5) and "Praise You" (track 8); both of these songs actually sound like songs that could have come from their last album (1999's 'No Turning Back'). "Now I Sing" is a fast song (think of "Spirit Moves" to get a feel for this one) with stunning background vocals. "Praise You" on the other hand is a profoundly moving song that should attract listeners from all musical backgrounds.The Hip-Hop/R&B masterpiece is "Showpiece" (track 6). Addressing the rampant objectification of women in the media, "Showpiece" hits hard both thematically and sonically, and will touch a lot of people -- especially younger minds who have been growing up during the era of "booty" music videos.The unique track/wild card would have to be "Rolling Stone" (track 9). Extremely personal in nature (addressing the absence of the Lisa, Danielle and Andrea's father), this song sounds like nothing OOE has done before, but I think a lot of people will dig this one. Although its not my personal favorite, it might become the "people's choice" for best track...Two more tracks that I have to note are "All You Need" (track 7) with it's beautiful singing and spanish guitar (the track 12 reprise is based on this song). "All You Need" vaguely reminds me of Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama" -- just vaguely though. The other song is of course, "Different Now" which I think was a wonderful way for OOE to be reintroduced to the music world. I could mention a couple more songs (like the title track, for starters), but my dear readers, I think you get the picture - by all means proceed with obtaining this CD. 'This Is Your Life' is Out of Eden's strongest album since 1994's 'Lovin The Day', and guess what? I'm starting to think it's better... Thanks for reading!C.H.R."
Out of Eden has done it again!

"I've been an Out of Eden fan since their last album No Turning Back that I got after seeing their video for "Looking For Love." I thought that album was excellent, but This Is Your Life is even better. Every single song on the album is great. The song "Paradise" reminds me of the Destiny's Child song "Say My Name" but the message is more encouraging and empowering than DC. Out of Eden and this latest album can complete with and overshadow any current R&B album(s)and artist(s) out there. I bought the CD for my car and the cassette for the house. I could listen to Out of Eden and their message of good news served over thumping beats 24/7.
Be encouraged!"
