    This is rain-choked pain music, inspirational negativity, hypnotic blood moon melodies over crack-slanging boasts. [Mar 2019, p.65]

    The lean guest list of trap all-stars Young Thug, Gunna and Travis Scott delivers solid if unspectacular support down the home stretch. Diehard Future fans, of which there are legion, will be satisfied. But at 20 tracks, The Wizrd runs overlong. Jewels like “F&N” (with its nifty beat switch), “Promise U That” and “Faceshot” run the risk of getting lost in all the streaming.

    A 20-track album is a lot. But with The WIZRD, one can barely feel it because of the smooth flow from track to track. Even the few misses don’t disrupt the rhythm of the project.

    The Wizrd is the last album in Future’s current major-label deal, and it’s effective at reinforcing the qualities that turned him into a star, as well as outlining his rags-to-riches story one more time for those who weren’t paying attention.

    He can croon and autotune his way through some songs that are easy to ride to while faking it though--he ATL Jacob laced “Rocket Ship,” the Jacob and Jambo co-produced “Stick to the Models,” and the mellow radio friendly “Tricks On Me” from Nineteen85. Future has plenty of swagger and personality, knows all the right producers to take his style and make it sparkle, and has little problem serving his fan base exactly what they want.

    If Future had simply focused on these standouts, The Wizrd could be impeccable. However, given its runtime and filler moments, this remains yet another serviceable trap buffet that would benefit from some trimming to maximize impact and allure.

    There’s something to be said for creating music exclusively for the club or to be bumped in car stereos in the summer, but with a bland, out-dated musical architecture, The WIZRD doesn’t even offer that. I

    I think this album is very underrated, obviously it's Future, so that's what you're going to get, Future, so i don't know that people expectedI think this album is very underrated, obviously it's Future, so that's what you're going to get, Future, so i don't know that people expected from him to deliver, he's not the most versatile artist nor the most powerful lyricist, but everybody in his lane extracts ideas from his style. The WIZRD is in my opinion Future's best record, the production is amazing and he flows perfectly over these instrumentals, the record grabs your attention right away and as the album progresses Future allows himself to experiment more with his sound, especially in the second half. I'm enjoying this record more every time I come back to it.… Expand

    This album is amazing, the first part of the album is definitely a bit weak but during the second part it is amazing.

    Underrated album has some of his best work in it like never stop, Krazy but true. If it was trimmed down a bit it’s a 10/10

Future may be the king of writing catchy, trap flavoured bangers, churning out a great deal here, especially tracks like Talk S**t Like a Preacher, F&N and Faceshot. as a full album, it's a bit of a slog to get through, as Future is not diverse enough to carry an album of this length, even with multiple features. But, the hits more than make up for the lulls, and this album's middle core section is great, even if it starts and ends relatively weak. None of the tracks on here are especially bad, but sometimes they become hard to separate in the memory. But still, Future's music is so catchy that it can stick in your head for days on end, even without listening too the album in that time.… Expand

    This Future album should not be over an hour long. This album should of been 11 songs atmost.

There's not stand-out bangers like "Mask Off" or "F** Up Some Commas." Instead there's unimpressive melodies and boring lyrics, and Future sounds like he's making the same filler track again and again for the whole hour.… Expand

    It's basically the same thing that Future has been put out for the past couple of years now. And this album is no different. because reallyIt's basically the same thing that Future has been put out for the past couple of years now. And this album is no different. because really what is there really to say about this album. The content he talks about is the same old thing, drugs, money, and violence that's it; he's not adding anything new to the table to mixing his sound up. The beats and wavy joint are pretty generic at best. The features are not even doing everything to save this album Young Thug and Gunna are generic. And Travis Scott I do like him when he's putting out a project, but when he's on a feature to a trash rapper he's pretty decent at best and this feature is no exception but when he's featured to a great rapper he's great. If you don't like Future, I don't think you're going to care about this album. 1/10… Expand
