Wow album started off ridiculously good, but dropped off in a major way once it hit the joint with Jeezy. You got about 3-4 joints with RnB singers that could have all interchanged with each other. I actually really dig "Mama Knows" Games flow was dope, parts of it sounded like a throwback joint, I would of liked to see him and Pharell make more music like this. Last track is cool too, parallel to "Like Father, Like Son" but different vibe, I can dig it.

I can't see why he didn't keep "Lost" for this album, shit didn't leak and he just gave it away. "Soft Rhodes" and "Make Up Sex" could have replaced any of the rnb joints on the album but would of sounded that much better.

I dunno, with all the mixtapes he's given us I could make a pretty sick album that will stay in rotation for a while, but it seems Jimmy got in his ear a bit too much with the final tracklist.

Check it, I did it like this. Smoked a blunt and took a cruise in the car with my speakers on blast the whole way through. Best way to listen to music is faded. This album is just as good as the Documentary in my opinion. I feel like all his albums delivered. I know everyone on here loves to get critical of him but this shit bangs. Stop being lame ass fools and just bump the shit.

LAX = DOC ?
Yes, although I have included the four bonus tracks on LAX (Camera Phone, Nice, Spanglish, Big Dreams). Beats are better on The Doc, but The Game was better in every way on LAX - better use of his voice, better flow, better lyrics. And LAX had PERSONALITY, something which R.E.D. in all its genericness is totally lacking. But D.A. is BY FAR his best album. It's not close. Infact, it's my favourite hip-hop album post 2000.

Wow album started off ridiculously good, but dropped off in a major way once it hit the joint with Jeezy.

I don't think "Paramedics" or "Speakers On Blast" are that bad though. After those two songs the album gets real weak.

there is no deluxe edition ... game said Interscope wanted him to only put 12 tracks on the album and make a deluxe version but Game decided to put all 17 songs in the "normal" edition ... something along those words

I'm not sure if this is true, but here's how my "12 songs" version of the album would look like.

01. Dr. Dre Intro
02. The City (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
03. Drug Test (feat. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg)
04. Martians Vs. Goblins (feat. Tyler The Creator & Lil Wayne)
05. Dr. Dre Skit #1
06. Ricky
07. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
08. Heavy Artillery (feat. Beanie Sigel & Rick Ross)
09. Dr. Dre Skit #2
10. Monsters In My Head
11. 25 To Life
12. Dr. Dre Outro


Deluxe Edition Bonus Songs:
13. Paramedics (feat. Young Jeezy)
14. Speakers On Blast (feat. Big Boi & E-40)
15. Can You Believe It (feat. Lil Wayne & Baby)
16. Wow (feat. Gucci Mane)

note that the beginning of drug test was cut off
I've never understood why a track leaking somehow disqualifies it from album inclusion. The fact is that only hardcore hip-hop fans listen to leaked songs on the net. Mainstream rappers with a mainstream audience, of which Game is one, should care one way or the other about a few early leaks. But what is arguably worse than not including great lekaed tracks like Rough and Monsters In My Head, is voluntarily throwing away some of your very best material on mixtapes. "Lost" is one of the best tracks on every level that Game has ever done and he put that on a mixtape? Crazy.

Anyway, on my first listen now and I'm digging it so far, but I haven't gotten to the dreaded commercial part of the album yet.
yeah i think it's a weak argument.

Anyone else notice how fucking LOUD this album is. It sounds like it's been completely and utterly CRUSHED by brickwall limiting. All mainstream hip-hop albums are mastered loud these days, but this is ridiculous. It's gets very tiring on the ears. Game's previous albums weren't this crushed.

Here is my ideal tracklist :
1. InfraRED (4:39)
2. L.A. Times (4:07)
3. Born In The Trap (3:46)
4. The City (feat. Kendrick Lamar) (5:41)
5. Ricky (4:06)
6. Diamonds (feat. K-Young) (3:26)
7. Turn Off The Lights (3:21)
8. Ain't No Doubt About It (feat. Justin Timberlake) (4:23)
9. Bang Along (5:41)
10. American Dream (3:15)
11. Supastar (feat. Ashley Cole & Mike Epps) (5:37)
12. In my '64 (feat. Pharrell & Snoop Dogg) (3:17)
13. Phantom (feat. Robin Thicke) (3:54)
14. On The Block (feat. Snoop Dogg) (4:10)
15. Laugh (3:34)
16. Better Days (5:35)
17. Mama Knows (feat. Nelly Furtado) (3:52)
18. Monsters In My Head (3:49)
19. Show Is Over (1:46)

78 minutes, and for me, much much better than the official album. Too bad all those tracks ended up on mixtapes.

 1. Dr. Dre Intro
2. You Are The Blood (Ft. Sufjan Stevens)
3. L.A Times
4. My 6-4 (Ft. Pharrell & Snoop Dogg)
5. Dr. Dre 1
6. It Must Be Me (Ft. Pharrell)
7. Big Money
8. Slangin' Rocks (Ft. Eazy E)
9. Shake
10. Dr. Dre 2
11. Cold Blood (Ft. Busta Rhymes & Dre)
12. Good Girls Go Bad (Ft. Drake)
13. Ricky
14. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
15. HaHaHaHaHa
16. Dr. Dre Outro
17. Stadium Music
18. Rough (Ft. Yelawolf) (No chorus version)
19. Pot Of Gold (Ft. Chris Brown)
20. Mama Knows (Ft. Nelly Furtado)
21. California Dream
22. The Ocean (Ft. Dre. Dre & Busta Rhymes)
23. Heaven
24. R.I.P Story

I need to find a placement of Born In The Trap which is an incredible track but due to the low level rise from the piano and its content I think it should be an introduction track and don't like it's placement on the original album.

Anyways, I don't care that I only like about a 3rd of the actual album because artist these days have problem with sample clearances or label politics and they're songs intended for the album that end up on street tapes (original content). I'm of the i-pod generation and with Game I have no problem making a solid album from the R.E.D recording sessions.

I used to be an Adam with two Eves and shawtys automatically do me
Excuse me, all that happened before you doesn't matter
I'm a vision of the future climbing the success ladder
