Pluto

Maybe it's just the nostalgia factor because it was a hit my freshman year of college, but I have a deep love of this album. Really, I think it's Future's best, so much catchier and better written than his more recent releases. Yeah he's not the best lyricist, and his style cribs a lot from pre-established Southern hip hop sounds, but the songs on Pluto are so catchy and so triumphant they always manage to put a smile on my face. Future had an appreciation for pop melody on this album that has been completely lost in his subsequent projects. Honestly, I think he would have been better off had he embraced the pop side of his artistry rather than attempting to be a trap lord like he has.

Favorite tracks: Turn on the Lights, Straight Up, Truth Gonna Hurt You, Tony Montana, Parachute, Same Damn Time
