Future 2012 Album

[Vella Massart]

The discography of American rapper Future consists of nine studio albums, three collaborative albums, one soundtrack album, 20 mixtapes, two extended plays, and 117 singles (including 61 as a featured artist). He first began his career as part of the Georgia-based collective Dungeon Family, although he released no major projects with the group. In the late 2000s, he met fellow Georgia-based rapper Rocko and signed to his label, A1 Recordings as a solo act. He then released a number of independent mixtapes and guest appeared on YC's 2011 hit single "Racks", while earning local recognition as his music was frequented at Atlanta's Magic City nightclub venue. He signed with Epic Records to issue his then-most popular song as a lead artist, "Tony Montana" as his debut single for the label in 2011. He remained signed in a joint venture with A1 until his departure in favor of Epic in 2017.[1]

On April 29, 2022, Future released his ninth studio album, I Never Liked You. The album debuted and peaked atop the Billboard 200. It produced his second number-one single, "Wait for U", which features Drake and Tems, and also became his second song to debut at the top of the Hot 100 and his second collaboration with Drake to reach the top, following "Way 2 Sexy" in 2021. The number-one debuts of both the album and "Wait for U" made Future the seventh artist to simultaneously debut a song and album at the top of their respective charts. The album also produced the top-20 singles, "Love You Better" (charted at number 12), "Keep It Burnin", which features Kanye West (charted at number 15), and the top-40 single, "Worst Day" (charted at number 34).

On March 22, 2024, Future released a collaborative studio album with Metro Boomin titled We Don't Trust You. The album debuted and peaked atop the Billboard 200. It produced his third number-one single, "Like That", a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, and also became his third song to debut at the top of the Hot 100. The album also produced the top-10 singles, "Type Shit" with Travis Scott and Playboi Carti (charted at number two) and "Young Metro", with the Weeknd (charted at number nine). The album also produced two more top-10 songs, "Cinderella" with Travis Scott (charted at number six) and the title track (charted at number eight). On April 12, 2024, Future released another collaborative studio album with Metro Boomin titled We Still Don't Trust You. The album debuted and peaked atop the Billboard 200. It produced the top-40 single, the title track, a collaboration with the Weeknd, which debuted and peaked at number 22 on the Hot 100.

Future (stylized in all caps) is the fifth studio album by American rapper Future. It was released on February 17, 2017, by A1 Recordings, Freebandz and Epic Records.[1][2] The album features production by Metro Boomin, Zaytoven, DJ Khaled, The Beat Bully, Southside, alongside production from other members of 808 Mafia such as DY, Fuse, Tarentino and Tre Pounds. The album was supported by three singles: "Draco", "Mask Off" and "Extra Luv".

"Extra Luv" was released as the third single on June 30, 2017, after being included as a streaming bonus track on the deluxe edition of the album. The single features a guest appearance from rapper YG.

Writing for The Observer, Alex Macpherson concluded, "...[and] as a body of work, this album is neither an elevation over nor an advancement of his stream of recent material. At this point, merely shoring up his personal brand with scattered highlights means that Future is stuck in a holding pattern."[13] Chase McMullen, an author for The 405, said, "In a genre that's hard on longevity, and an era with an even shorter attention span, Future has refused to lose, time and again. He certainly doesn't end here. Yet, after a year of baited breathing, we seem to have arrived at an in-between. There's still plenty of fun to be had in the waiting room, but let's hope he has more in store for the next appointment."[21] Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork, noted the album for being "...an ambitious Future exhibition" with "a pretty interesting array of textures, sonically."[14]

Online music magazine Hits Daily Double announced on February 22, 2017, that Future was set to release another album a week after the eponymously titled album Future (2017), set to include more "rhythmic-leaning and radio-friendly" tracks.[2] The release was first announced by Future during a Q&A on social media on February 21, 2017, along with him tweeting the pre-order link for Hndrxx.[3][4] The album is also eponymously named after Future's alter ego, Future Hendrix.[5]

"Selfish", featuring Barbadian singer Rihanna, was released as the album's lead single on February 28, 2017,[6] the song was produced by Detail, Kuk Harrell, Major Seven, and Mantra.[7] It peaked at number 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[8]

"Pie", featuring American singer Chris Brown, was released as the second single on June 25, 2017,[9] the song was produced by D. A. Doman and Detail.[7] It peaked at number 48 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[10]

The album's third single, "Incredible", was released to rhythmic contemporary radio on July 25, 2017,[11] the song was produced by Dre Moon.[7] It peaked at number 48 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.[10]

"You da Baddest", featuring Trinidadian-American rapper Nicki Minaj, was released as the album's fourth single on July 28, 2017,[12][13] the song was produced by Detail and Go Grizz.[7] It peaked at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.[8]

Hndrxx was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 78, based on eight reviews.[15] Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 7.1 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[14]

Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic said, "Released just a week after his self-titled fifth effort, Future's HNDRXX provided an introspective and confessional complement to the more extroverted Future".[16] Ural Garrett of HipHopDX said, "HNDRXX provides a view into a modern rock star indulging in a side of himself that's more thoughtful and dare one say, honest".[17] Rebecca Haithcoat of Pitchfork said, "Over a well-played hand of wistful, bright-eyed and reflective beats, HNDRXX strikes a near-perfect balance between a man still licking his wounds and a man emerging from a long, dark night".[20] Preezy of XXL said, "HNDRXX is a reminder that no matter how hard he tries to shun his reputation as a hitmaker, Future remains one of the most reliable acts in mainstream music, his reluctance aside".[24]

Michael Madden of Consequence said, "While his most definitive project remains 2015's Dirty Sprite 2 for its balance of Future's innate melodic sense and especially effective trap records, HNDRXX comes in as a close second".[1] Kristian Brito of The Quietus said, "It's the slickest, spaciest project he's released since Honest (which was always underrated), and sits far left of the trap rigor mortis of the self-titled record".[25] Mosi Reeves of Rolling Stone said, "Like its predecessor, it's an hour-plus data dump of quotidian creativity with a slight thematic focus, not a tightly sequenced tour de force. But Future wouldn't be Future if he wasn't unburdening himself, no matter how messy and polarizing the results might be. And for the most part, he's at his most appealing here".[22]

Hndrxx debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 121,000 album-equivalent units, of which 48,000 were pure album sales.[36] It replaced Future's own self-titled album from the previous week at number one, making him the first artist in the history of the Billboard 200 to have two albums debut at number one in successive weeks.[36] As of July 5, 2017, the album has moved 435,000 album-equivalent units.[37]

So there are a couple of questionable songs along with some real classics. I really feel like without the orchestrated sections linking the songs, it would be a lot harder to see this as a consistently great album. The interludes helps hide the fact that there is some filler.

The Future Hearts album is an album released by one of my personal favorite bands, All Time Low, in 2015. This is a reaction and rating to each song on the album that details how I feel about it as well as what I would rate the song out of ten. As a whole this is one of my favorite albums and one that I could easily listen to all the way through without issue, as a whole I would rate this album an 8/10.

This is a song about the progress of the band over time, though it can be interpreted very loosely and can be applied to many different topics; mental health, relationships, the industry, etc. The song is all about your life being yours to live, moving on from the past and moving forward, refusing to be forgotten or insignificant. This is among the heavier songs on the album and is overall a good song to bop your head to or sing along to, as the vocals and lyrics are very strong and catchy. Overall I would rate this song an eight out of ten.

Its been 3 years since The Sword graced us with High Country, their fifth studio album. The record spurred a division between fans. Some enjoyed the departure from the fast-tempo, driven sound of their previous albums, while others disliked their new, easier going, jam-centric vibe. Used Future, The Sword's sixth studio album, lands sonically closer to High Country in most areas while offering a moodier confidence and a spray of explorative, instrumental grooves. If High Country feels like having a bonfire at sunset, then Used Future is hiking up a mountain to lay back and watch the clouds roll on by.These examples of imagery are likely actual inspirations for of the current atmosphere of The Sword's music. Frontman/songwriter John D. Cronise relocated from Austin, Texas to the wild, deep mountains of North Carolina to find inspiration for new music. This in mind, its pretty easy to visualize a time lapse of the day's blue skies fading into dusk's burning, vivid hues while listening to Used Future.The atmosphere in Used Future presents as not merely just a set of random set of songs. Tucker Martine produced the album and does a thoughtful job of weaving songs together to create a sonic journey that feels cohesive and thematic. Departures from lyric-laden, traditional song structures demonstrated in tracks like "Come and Gone" are brilliant, emotional, and introspective. In fact, the best parts of this album are far and away the instrumental interludes. From solid more familiar jams like "Twilight Sunrise," Used Future transitions smoothly into slower, more focused and reflective tracks like "Book of Thoth" and "Brown Mountain."Used Future is certainly a step forward in the overall evolution of The Sword. They're taking greater cues from early classic rock, embracing storytelling through instrumentation, and further distancing themselves from stoner metal. While The Sword's new sound hones in towards modern timelessness, it's not landing as successfully as I feel they're capable of. It seems that Used Future is another transition album. Tracks like "Deadly Nightshade" feel out of place. It's as if they have one foot in their new direction and the other lingering in what they think they should sound like.If you've never heard The Sword before, Used Future will make you into a fan. They execute a new, unfettered, and free vibe extremely well. They're all astute and talented musicians. If you're a fan expecting a return to their early form, you will, unfortunately, be disappointed. If, however, you enjoyed High Country, and the subsequent acoustic re-release Low Country, definitely check this album out. Overall, The Sword is still one of my personal modern favorites. Of course Used Future is still a great release, but in comparison to their earlier releases and musical capabilities, it falls a little flat.Score: 7.5/10amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "alternapunkco-20";amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";amzn_assoc_region = "US";amzn_assoc_design = "enhanced_links";amzn_assoc_asins = "B0798DQ9L4";amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit";amzn_assoc_linkid = "3dfc82cdf09343daee961a00b36578b9"; In this article:the sword Sponsored Links from Around the InternetjQuery('.show-comments').click(function() jQuery(this).hide();jQuery(this).next().show(););Show Comments / Reactions You May Also Like Lists10 Metal Bands That Need To ReuniteCome home, Skeletonwitch.
