CRITIC REVIEWS
70
A more experimental Future working within modern rap techniques and pushing their boundaries to the blurry edges.
64
His latest EP proves he’s still a master of melancholic detail, but thematically and sonically, the Atlanta superstar has hit a wall.
64
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.
60
SAVE ME is the first record of a decorated career that suggests fatigue might be setting in.
60
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.
60
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.

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.
BEFORE THE ALBUMS RELEASE: this will be his best. mark my motherfucking words. i promise you it will be. this cover is absolutely beautiful and if what I’ve heard is true, no doubt this will be his best. words aren’t enough to describe the hype i have, personally I’ve never been a massive Future fan but this is going to be big for him

As much as I was hoping this would live up to The WIZRD, I wasn't sure how likely it was to exceed it. They're both very different albums; SAVE ME has a measly seven tracks, while The WIZRD has twenty. SAVE ME was tagged as everything from "emo rap" to "trap folk", which made me expect something kind of XXXTentacion-inspired or something equally messy. The WIZRD was more of Future's trademark mumbly pop-trap, albeit with a bit of a darker atmosphere. Nothing ... read more

...what?
this is future at his most blown out, reverb water boarded, trashy, anemic, and incomprehensible
by track 3 I thought the project had already been running for 30 minutes
and here I was thinking that he was climbing his way back up to relevancy with his last project lol

For some reason this grew straight off me after the second listen. Even though it's easily the most ambitious I've heard Future musically, I just wasn't all that interested most of the time. There are some stellar tracks and hooks though.

For a short EP, Future still packing it with some of his best material yet (as far as I've heard from him), most of these are getting the right melodic delivery, making it easy to digest even when he's showing off his more mature and emotional side.
Also, why didn't he make Xanax Damage longer? Like Cmon.

If Kanye wrote Love Thy Enemies and had Ty Dolla $ign feature, it would actually be amazing, but instead, we have Future.
