Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
On his debut album, the Atlanta rapper/singer makes his strongest case yet that he is one of the foremost sources of rap that's as peculiar as it is pop. 7.8 out of 10.
-
The New York Times
This accessible, smart and unlikely album continues in much the same way: straightforward conceit, oddball approach.
-
SPIN
Pluto might be the first album in rap history where the ballads are stronger than the bangers. 8 out of 10.
-
Hip Hop DX
At times tasteful and other times tasteless, Pluto demonstrates a bravado that knows no shame. 2 out of 5.
-
All Music
The man is either "niche" or "limited" depending on your viewpoint. 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
-
FACT Magazine
Pluto recedes into template rap: garbled space ballads that recycle T-Pain’s mid-00s adventures in Autotune to infinitely less emotional effect and that aren’t nealy as vibed-out as the aesthetic requires.
-
A.V. Club Music
Pluto is a more compelling listen than an album with so many atrocious lyrical turns has any right to be. C+
-
XXL Magazine
Though the album stalls when the rookie strays from his blueprint, the phenom hit-maker’s potential as a song maker is undeniable.
-
Spectrum Culture
While the sound is still potentially esoteric enough to make me hesitant to call him the “future” of rap, Pluto shows signs of having quite the promising Future. 3 out of 5 Stars.
-
Hot New Hip Hop
Many take exception with Future’s use (or overuse) of auto-tune, and while he does come off crisper without the voice modulation, you can’t take exception with his ability to craft club classics with sounds ranging from airy to ominous.
-
ATL Rap
If you are the type of music fan who appreciates a catchy chorus delivered with feeling over some excellent production, Future is your guy.
-
Day & A Dream
Pluto may serve as rap’s first completely madlibbed album that shines when it’s actually comprehendible.
-
Music Is My Oxygen
Future has skill enough in crafting auditory candy to put forth a decent example of this genre, but, like his predecessors, the gaping chink in his armor is described on one side by an overeager desire to please a commercial market, and on the other side by an unfortunate lack of depth.
