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.

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.

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
