    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 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 overI 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

    I can understand the critics saying it's the same formula he's been using since the beginning but that really doesn't matter. Good music is good music and bad music is bad music. This album isn't very good but it's good enough. Good enough is better than FUTURE and the garbage Juice WRLD collab. He didn't let his fans down either as I'm sure they got what they wanted. It's nowhere near DS2I can understand the critics saying it's the same formula he's been using since the beginning but that really doesn't matter. Good music is good music and bad music is bad music.

It's nowhere near DS2 level (a trap classic) but it's a nice album. The beats hit hard too and I have to add that it features Tay Keith's best and most unique beat yet which is surprising as he is probably the most bland producer in recent history.… Expand

    While it doesn't show any change or development in Future's style, it's still a banger filled project, with good delivery from Future. However, it's too long. Future can carry a track, but when he delivers 20+ tracks with only two of them having features, it gets repetitive and boring at times. Solid listen though. Great features from Travis and Thugger.

    While not Future's most cutting-edge release, The WIZRD is packed with great production, sticky hooks, and consistently electrifying vocal performances from Future himself.

    Future dropped another classic January project with "Future HNDRXX Presents: The WIZRD." One of the only 20 track albums of the year that actually captures your attention from the beginning until the end.

    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

    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.

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

    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.
