[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

Fuck it man, I'm getting the clean right now...

[BlueSwan]

Based on two listens:

1. Intro - dope
2. LAX files - great stuff
3. State Of Emergency - my shit. Ice Cube is excellent on the chorus, but he should have had a verse as well.
4. Bulletproof Diaries - Another hot joint.
5. My Life - Didn't like it at first, like it a lot now.
6. Money - this is great too.

As with all Game albums it starts off flawlessly. ..and just like The Doctors Advocate, it has a sequence of fairly weak songs at the middle:

7. Cali Sunshine - not really my cup of tea
8. Ya Heard - innovative shit, but it doesn't work for me. Weakest track on the album for me.
9. House Of Pain - hard beat, but again it doesn't do much for me.
10. Gentleman's Affair - Not really my style either. I HATE Ne-Yo.

Then it gets better again, just like TDA:

11. Let Us Live - love the Nas style. Good stuff, if not one of the best tracks on the album.
12. Touchdown - pretty cool track
13. Angel - Excellent soft track. Should probably be a single.
14. Never Can Say Goodbye - Good stuff, love the flow imitations, especially of Biggie.
15. Dope Boys - One of my favourites, a bangin' track.
16. Game's Pain - pretty good, but not really my style.
17. Letter To The King - Nas/Game colabs are usually great. This is pretty good, but not up there with "Why You Hate The Game".

Overall: An excellent album with a weak middle part. To me, he should have cut out those four tracks and included Superman, 911 Is A Joke and Big Dreams. Then it would have been an AMAZING album.

But still - you can't go wrong with a Game album. There are LOADS of hot tracks here and plenty of replay value.

[Sriram619]

honestly even with just the clean version of the album i cant stop bumpin it im feelin every track on this album

[Dre-Day]

just listened to it and it's worse than the Doctor's advocate and a lot worse than The Documentary 
seems like the quality goes down steadily with each new release.

I thought you loved the two first Game albums to death(?) 

nah i never said that 
i thought that the The Documentary was a pretty good album, and the DA seemed like a backward step from that.

[R1ZE]

As Meho said, the sound on this album is all over the place. I'm happy with what I got, but in my personal opinion its still not touching The Documentary or DA, but most of his fans will probably think different. For instance, "Letter to the King" is a very good song but it cant fuck with "Why You Hate The Game" (Edit: Bumpin "Why You Hate The Game" now and it's shitting on "Letter to the King"). It's things like that which makes the difference. It's on a very high level musically, just not as high as his previous efforts. And some songs have good production but other things that mess them up. Like "Let us Live" has a dope beat with a lot of potential, but Chrisette Michelle fucked up the hook imo. Same with Latoiyas hook. I was expecting a lot from her appearance but she keeps saying the same thing over and over ("Never can say goodbye"). Game killed it on the verses though. Bottom line, very good album and probably in my Top 3 of 2008. His previousy work was probably just too good.

imo the chrissette michelle hook is one of the best parts of that song... much better than the hooks on games pain or my life

[Retro]

I thought the explicit was suppost to come out already?

Serious, This album bangs! I cant stop bumping it! Its crazy. Like i just got my car back today so i wanted to hear how it songs in a system. Im just waiting till the 26th for the explicit retail delux version. The clean should hold me off till then. Props to luna and a few other cats that have the paitence to wait for the dirty! I couldnt wait, But this album BANGS!
