Future's fifth album is average. If you don't like Future, this album will not convince you to give him a second chance. Many fans will find this to be great, as it plays on most of Future's strengths. This contains some of the best Future performances I have ever heard from him. The autotune and moody productions are here as well.Those are most of Future's strengths. Akin to J. Cole’s recent efforts, there is not a single feature on this release, resulting in many of the songs feeling empty. There could be a standout single in the tracklist, but no song reaches the heights of “Low Life” or “Where Ya At”. Production wise, usual suspects Metro Boomin & Zaytoven only produce two tracks and their absence is deeply felt, as both producers played a major part in shaping Future’s identity as an artist. All these complaints don’t lead to a terrible album. Future is still the best at what he does even if he doesn’t try that hard this time around.This release seems to be the polar opposite to last month’s Migos’ Culture. Whereas FUTURE serves as a showcase to the man’s talent, Culture serves as the perfect soundtrack to a great party. FUTURE contains no single, yet Culture had a Number One song on the Billboard 100. Whereas Future tries to pull of a more classy effort, the Migos’ could care less. Many people go to Future for music to brighten up a party. Juxtaposing these two releases, you’re definitely better off with Culture.
