    There is a real adventurous spirit these lithe, freewheeling bummer-bot jams.

    [“XanaX Damage” is] a flash of greatness bogged down by poor execution, which could stand as a theme for the EP as a whole.

    SAVE ME, opposed to previous collaborative EPs such as 2016’s Purple Reign with Metro Boomin, feels incomplete for it’s lacking the divine energy felt from previous Future projects.

    Aforementioned moments of experimentation show a continued development of Future's "Hendrix" alter ego, but there's something to be said for getting to know him over a longer runtime.

    The best thing about “Save Me” may be that it’s a very small bite to digest, clocking in at just barely over 20 minutes after the conclusion of “Love Thy Enemies.”

    There’s no denying Future’s ability to constantly curate content, but perhaps with a little more time and focus, Save Me could have been significantly better.

    In my opinion as a dedicated Future fan this is 100% his best work to date XanaX Damage, Government Official, St.Lucia and Love Thy EnemiesIn my opinion as a dedicated Future fan this is 100% his best work to date XanaX Damage, Government Official, St.Lucia and Love Thy Enemies con vay something in his music usually doesn't have he is vulnerable he is willing to give you a glimpse of his suffering and it puts into context why he makes alot of the music he makes about being toxic and masculine and drugs without this EP I did not understand him I couldn't relate with the boasting and flexing and why he flexes so much especially about women but this made me put it together because of XanaX Damage and Love Thy Enemies his hatred of being left and the animosity towards people he built towards people that hurt him growing up and into his adulthood. I understands the reasons to not like the EP its incoherent it doesn't follow one sound but I enjoy it because Love Thy Enemies and XanaX Damage really put the rest of the music on this album and his discography as a whole in context. I really think this a top 3 Future Project there are two flaws on this project first I wish this was a whole album or this was the sound direction for the at the time most recent studio album The WIZRD which has some good pieces and has its highs but if it had Love Thy Enemies, Government Official, Extra, XanaX Damage and St.Lucia it would have been a-lot higher for me. Secondly Shotgun was trash this should have been either worked on more or left of the EP entirely Expand

    A short EP for Future who delivers us some of his most emotional lyrics. Barely all tracks are about his pain and/or struggle with addiction.A short EP for Future who delivers us some of his most emotional lyrics. Barely all tracks are about his pain and/or struggle with addiction. Beats finally become original when you take the whole musical career of the artist (except for 'Government Official'). Vocals are varied even if it very often remains in the field of autotune. Surely not his best but still an interesting piece of work. Expand

    A flash of true brilliance on the opener and some intriguing vocal harmonies are high points of this EP. It's a solid addition to Future's catalogue.

    St. Lucia 4/10 the beat is good but future autotune delivery doesn't fit it and the high chipmunk vocals in the background are really bad and cringey.
    Please Tell Me 6/10 the beat is good and here future delivery finally works here and his flows are good here.
    Shotgun 6/10 the beat here is amazing and future delivery works here and his flows are fine.
    Government Official 7.5/10 the beat here fits perfectly with future delivery and future flows here are really good.
    Extra 6.5/10 the beat here is really good and future delivery here is good but with not a lot of good flows.
    Love Thy Enemies 6/10 the beat is good and future delivery fits here good.
    overall 5.9 better then what i was expecting but still not really good

    This hurt to listen to. There's only 2 good songs on this thing, Please Tell Me and Government Official, with the rest being straight garbage
