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.

There's no real reason to listen to this over whatever your favorite project of his is, unless you just really want to hear him do his best X impression. If this sounds appealing to you - and for most fans, including myself, it probably will - check it out. For those on the outside, this is just an example of someone falling into the past.

Those 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.

Future has long been one of rap’s most consistent artists, but for the first time since his early shots at stardom, he sounds confused.

SAVE ME is the first record of a decorated career that suggests fatigue might be setting in.

“Save Me” is not a release of great significance, consequence or long term importance.

Although there are some strong parts of the brief Save Me, it’s feels like there could have been a more developed, fleshed-out studio album that better touched on these themes — if the work were given time to breathe.

EDIT: FANTASTIC

As much as I was hoping this would live up to The WIZRD, I wasn't sure how likely it was to exceed it.

The WIZRD was more of Future's trademark mumbly pop-trap, albeit with a bit of a darker atmosphere. Nothing ... read more

I never would've thought that Future of all people could do something like this. I mean, he's the guy that fucked yo bitch on some Gucci flip-flops drowning on lean hahaha, and he's had R&B ballads before (HNDRXX is full of those), but SAVE ME is something special to say the least, you can really feel his sadness and how vulnerable he is on this record. I'm kinda obsessed with it tbh, 20 minutes of pure emptiness.

I want more of this, Future, pleeeeeeaaaaaseeeeee? A full album maybe? ... read more

An entire project of 'Codeine Crazy' type tracks.

This is prob Future at his most vulnerable and open, with some really genuine and personal sounding tracks on here, like "Please Tell Me" and "Love Thy Enemies". It sounds like Futures really coming from the heart on this project, and it makes it feel really depressing to hear. It makes this EP feel like one of his most mature listens, as it feels like hes putting his normal attitude aside and showing us a different side of ... read more
