More refined hooks, punchier lines and pleasantly subtle changes in production in comparison to previous records. The production efforts make the album sound less like a generic trap record and more exotic and experimental with records like "Mask Off" having Asian influences and "Zoom" having a very hypnotic chime sound looping.
   
   The record makes a shift in production over Future's "Like Always" rapping in such a subtle way that it makes the album sound so much more intriguing and fresh but at the same time doesn't distance itself enough to put off old school Future fans. This record is not just Future repeating his formula that works very well to begin with but is expanding from a very good formula to something that works so much better. Other notable production efforts in the album is from the song "Massage in my Room" with a very sci fi-esk ringing loops and the song "Scrape" that has a very experimental hook and instrumental.
   
   Overall, I would recommend this to any Future fan and I also think this record would be more intriguing to those who have brushed of Future in the past.… Expand

   Future's self-titled record is definitely a majestic example of one of the good ways to create and assemble a more-than-decent trap album.Future's self-titled record is definitely a majestic example of one of the good ways to create and assemble a more-than-decent trap album. Future is filled with really enjoyably wavy songs (High Demands, Feds Did a Sweep, When I Was Broke and Might As Well above all), hard bangers (POA, Rent Money, Poppin' Tags and Flip) and very good trap stuff (Good Dope, I'm So Groovy, Massage in My Room, Super Trapper and of course Mask Off). The productions excelled and variegated, and Future's flows and lyrics almost always suit in. Future succeeds in holding the weight of a 20-tracks-long record without needing the help of anyone (Drake, Lamar and YG are good adds but not so essential), and manages to put in a trap project artists such as Kendrick Lamar who are more used to conscious hh sounds without sounding weird or out of place at all! Definitely a milestone!… Expand

This project is far from awful, however it sounds bland and as if Future is rapping in autopilot about familiar topics such as guns and drugs. This project lacks depth or cohesiveness and is filled to the brim with filler tracks. The only real stand out was 'Mask Off' and even that is flavourless lyrically.… Expand

   Too many album fillers and it makes the listening experience overwhelming. Not terrible but nowhere near good. The production is often lazyToo many album fillers and it makes the listening experience overwhelming. Not terrible but nowhere near good. The production is often lazy and repetitive and I don't know if 808 Mafia is to blame or not. This is a very sloppy effort for the self proclaimed "super trapper."… Expand
