Eighth studio album for Future. It's a great international commercial success, first in the pop, rap and Canadian charts. With guests such as Travis Scott, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, Lil Durk, Meek Mill and Doe Boy, he makes sure to sell the record get stream views for his many tracks around the world: when your record is strong even in Lithuania, well, that's a great sign. The icing on the cake is the feat of DaBaby & Lil Baby on the same track, the remix of the lead single. The record is appreciated by most of the insiders and the public: it's certified platinum in two months, but it's pretty disappointing in reality.
The record is long and exhausting, 70 minutes to cover these 21 tracks which are only useful to increase the stream visuals. Future sounds bad here, he's tired, much lazier than usual. There are over twenty different producers and, on average, two for each track, but none of these guys seem to have ever seen up close what a beat is: three quarters of this production is the same, made up of cheap sounds destroyed by an annoying snare drum, this noise simply drowns out the tasteless delivery of an uninspired Future, and the general lazy mumbling of the guests. Little stands out positively: I think "Too Comfortable" is the only cut that I really appreciated and on which I could return, nice rhythm combined with a delivery that doesn't seem as bad as the others.
Lil Uzi Vert doesn't look evil either, but he ends up on a terribly annoying production. After about 50 minutes, "Life Is Good" arrives, title track (the disc is originally titled that way) and banger, ft. Drake: the beat is particularly meager and annoying, Drake somehow makes his hook work due to his catchy chant, but the rest of the song is hard to deal with due to the production. It's followed by Lil Durk, who sounds like a young Future. The last track boasts a Meek Mill that delivers worthily with energy, unlike the others, then the album is closed by the remix of "Life Is Good", with DaBaby and Lil Baby.
Future hasn't been at his best for a few years, he has stopped committing, while his copycats are floundering: the numbers prove him right, why change?
Rating: 3/10.
