    Takeoff actually managed to come up with a pretty decent and enjoyable album.

    The last rocket manages to flow really well, with good and fresh productions, where the song changes are very subtle.

    The songs are just long enough to enjoy and not to become to tiring or boring. Unfortunately the album does come with his low points, like the song I Remember that has the worst and most annoying chorus i've heard in a while, and the song Lead The wave that sounds like a generic Migos songs, but that that out, this album is still quite enjoyable.

    It's safe to say that Takeoff exceeded my expectations, and people should really give this man more love than they give the other Migos members.

    Favorite Tracks: Vacation, Last Memory, Insomnia, Infatuation

    Very solid album. Takeoff took his time to create some good songs. I enjoyed the fact that the length of the album was short so I didn't get bored easily.
    Takeoff got some interesting bars. Not a masterpiece, but a good album.

    To be honest this album was better than most trap-rap albums this year.
    only misses good features and some hooks...
    It lacks versatility, but it's not that noticeable with only 12 tracks

    Rate it an 8 out of 10 because it's great, but if we were rating it on how many times Dayytona Fox's hook on Infatuation got stuck in my head it would be an 11 out of 10.

    Eh.

    It’s always been anticipation when a solo Migos member comes out with something. Personally, the Migos have not innovated the game in any way, nor are they cherished by any hip hop fan, other than the mainstream. The entirety of the album is monotone at best. Even with a pleasing set of intercom samples that tries to illustrate a journey here, every track feels like an on-foot    Eh.

    The entirety of the album is monotone at best. Even with a pleasing set of intercom samples that tries to illustrate a journey here, every track feels like an on-foot trip to pure boredom. The production, compared to other projects in the Migos discography, appears to be far weaker and less exciting than its precedents. Most of Migos demographic rely on loud instruments and excitement, but that is hardly presented here. There is hardly a clear target that Takeoff is going after, meaning the album is purely trying to be redundant and quick. For a twelve track album, this lowered standards.

    I don't understand the hype, nor do I understand why others feel it was above average when it has little purpose and cannot deliver pleasant musical sound. To rate this album high because it's "a fresh start" for Takeoff is redundant.    … Expand

    When I heard that Takeoff was going to make a solo album, I knew it was gonna suck. People saying that Takeoff is underrated and that he actually has a flow have obviously never listened to him. The album as I expected, really showed that. It was full of terrible ad-libs with monotone sounds. Not to mention the fact that even Quavo's unaccredited appearance didn't do anything to save it.When I heard that Takeoff was going to make a solo album, I knew it was gonna suck.

    Takeoff's solo debut does virtually nothing to stand out in the current trap rap wave.

    Takeoff offered us a good surprise with 'The Last Rocket'. Even if he does not change his style or voice, these few songs are fresh and hitting. The production is to be commended for its work, especially in 'Last Memory' and 'Casper' that it clearly saves from being flat and dull songs as Takeoff can succesfully make. We can also salute his idea to create a short album. Twelve tracks areTakeoff offered us a good surprise with 'The Last Rocket'.

We can also salute his idea to create a short album. Twelve tracks are just enough but not too much. It feels like the artist realized his voice and flow were so constant it could bring out boredom amongst listeners. The number of tracks helped me to enjoy 'The Last Rocket' and to consider it as good rather than awful. I just could not take any more repetition as in 'Lead the Wave'. I think other featurings than with Quavo and Dayytona Fox would have been a smart idea to vary the style and flow of this project. Plus I have heard enough of Quavo and Takeoff in their Migos project, i think it would have been a brilliant idea to invite other artists than those who already do rap in Takeoff style… Expand

    Takeoff is fire and proves why he can go solo on his album The Last Rocket.
    Amazing flow.

    The Last Rocket is the closest we’ve been yet to seeing one of the Migos with his mask off.

    He hasn’t crafted the second coming of Deltron 3030 but a contemplative and diverse delight. We can only hope Offset’s impending solo debut is just as good.

    With all of its paper-and skirt-chasing, The Last Rocket may not be a giant leap for mankind but it’s more than a small step for establishing Takeoff as something other than the Migo left off of “Bad and Boujee.”
