Its not their best album either.

Things Fall Apart is still their best album. Its complete, front to back, no filler, no drop off, just a great album.

Game Theory has its share of filler.

I'd say these cuts are the strongest and "great" cuts:

Game Theory
In The Music
Baby
Here I Come
Long Time
Can't Stop This

Here are the good cuts, but not really great:

Don't Feel Right


Here are the filler cuts:

False Media (understood the attempt, but failed to hit the mark)
Take it There (understood the attempt, but failed to hit the mark)
Livin in a New world (just doesn't belong. the green thumb on a hand with orange fingers).
Clock with No Hands (generic)
Atonement (generic).

So yeah, too much filler to be a great album.

Not complete enough.
