LAX (Geffen, 2008) by The Game

Game's third album is not his strongest, but it still has some very strong points.  "Game's Pain" is a solid homage to Hip-Hop's elder statesmen.  And even with Lil Wayne's recycled hook on "My Life," Game still drops great lyrics (My mind fucked up, so I cover it with a Raider hood/I'm from the city that made you motherfuckers afraid of Suge).  The weakness to this album, in my opinion, is that it isn't as cohesive as his other albums.  It plays more like a collection of songs than a set of songs that go together and that makes the nineteen tracks seem very long-winded.  Overall, it's a descent album, but when compared with the rest of Game's catalogue, I'd put it in the bottom half.
