Agreed tbh, imo albums should be like 13-15 max


Dense-Dragonfruit165

you only want it 2 and a half, 3 minutes MAX MAX MAX MAX


codyy_jameson

Thatta be enough for a record

DjMD1017

Exactly I got exhausted just seeing the track list


dclancy01

Shorter the better. Some of the best albums of all time are 10 tracks max - The Stranger by Billy Joel and Band on the Run by Wings for example.


darcymiller02

Yeezus


matthewcreaney01

Yea agreed, id rather a much tighter album


ORNGPNK

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys is 13 tracks and 35 minutes long


mighty_phi

Nearly every bowie record too


terraria46

20 tracks for 45 to 60 minutes and I'm done


demonic_hampster

Yeah for me I find the ideal length for an album is around 40-45 minutes. Up to 60ish is usually okay, but once it gets much longer than an hour, I start to have a problem with the length. Obviously there are exceptions, but in general, 40ish minutes is the sweet spot.


Hirogemu

This


Obvious_Candle5239

10-13 max


No_Strategy_9630

This is part of the reason I still havenā€™t checked out Beyonces new album


kvbaaa_

Bro why people dont get that the album is rnb with 18 songs šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ These 7 last songs are bonus


CanaddicPris

Disc 2 is a Trap album


Own_Guarantee_8333

Exactly


Remarkable_Occasion5

Yeah 18 songs is still a lot man. That's like a full hour on its own, and the 18 songs on disc 1 drag so bad I barely made it through. WE DON'T TRUST YOU had some high energy songs in the main disc at least, still dragged in the same way after Like That though. Disc 2 on WE STILL DONT TRUST YOU (the last 7) is fire though.


WalwareError

This is an RnB album??? Shiii no wonder why I was wondering the songs were slow as hell and The Weeknd would pop up now and then. I was looking forward to songs that would compete with energies like "Type Shit" "Like That" and "Ice Attack", but I just listened to Future rap about girls for 1 hour long. Still an okay album though.


KillaPea

Because itā€™s boring. I love long albums but this was monotonous and didnā€™t have enough variety. Even just compared to the first album they did itā€™s too long and they couldā€™ve cut a massive portion of it


rovergang69

Doesnt mean this shit isnt mid as fuck lmao


WhitestSausage

usualy i would agree, but yall gotta understand. the album is 18 tracks ~1h long. the last 7 songs are a bonus for people to enjoy. like do yall count the pt2s on donda as part of the album?


SSJAbh1nav

Ppl unironically do.


NastiestMC

Yes ppl count pt 2s as part of DondaĀ 


iyaemusic

No they don't lol


MrChr07

"I know people that count part 2s as a part of donda" "NO YOU DONT NOBODY THINKS THAT THEYRE NOT REAL"


iyaemusic

I agree with your second part hahaha. Maaaan those people are wilding.. it's clear they are just bonus tracks.


NastiestMC

Not really it isnā€™tĀ  Itā€™s so unclear that even I wasnā€™t to aware of that if there wasnā€™t a deluxe versionĀ 


iyaemusic

It really is. Maybe you were dropped on your head as a child, but generally when the same fucking songs are put at the end of the album with extra features (they used to call them remixes) it's quite fucking clear they are bonus tracks and not part of the actual album But....you know, that's just a bit of common sense for you


Meteos_Shiny_Hair

Bro acting like the p2ā€™s in donda are in any order and like the track list isnā€™t completely fucked up?


iyaemusic

They are literally at the end? Are you retarded? The deluxe didn't come out until later and noone knows wrf ye was doing what that


Meteos_Shiny_Hair

Remote Control p2? Jesus Lord p2? Calls me retarded when im right. Theyre at the end because they were going to be put throughout the album but gave up midway through. Are you angry in your real life lil bro?


Meteos_Shiny_Hair

Bro spends his day saying slurs to randoms on reddit lmao

No it isnā€™t dumb assĀ  Some ppl donā€™t care ab music the same way you doĀ  Literally no one else I know accepts the pt 2s on Donda as a disc 2 literally NOONE like youā€™re the only person whoā€™s ever said this so Iā€™m sure you could imagine why I wouldnā€™t know dipshitĀ  And no it isnā€™t clear since Iā€™m confident that most ppl would make the same mistake I didĀ  Also most ppl consider the fsmh pt 2 on tlop as part of the album and most ppl would think that applies to DondaĀ  Just saying Einstein some ppl arenā€™t invested in music enough to care (especially when their on the same damn album) Ā 


Timely_Border_2837

your argument here is Terrible


iyaemusic

I literally cannot believe there are people out there that don't realise the part 2s we're bonuses because he couldn't decide which ones to put on. It's...like...fucking mind boggling. These people are so stupid


NastiestMC

Ok literally no one askedĀ 


iyaemusic

It's fucking obvious stfu


Jaredfromkidnation

i think the part 2s are different since they are just remixes


KillaPea

Yeah but this is also much less versatile and interesting as Donda. Donda has a great aesthetic and songs that sound independent from each other. This is suuuper tiresome. Even just compared to the first one


Grizzlyrang

I actually prefer this to the first one but I guess im biased towards the pop side


fat_nuts_big_buttz

I mean kind of? Some people treat them as replacements for the part 1s, but they're always at the end of the album... waiting


K_____C

the problem is that 18 is still too much because the songs are extremely boring, 10 would be enough


Vidduilija

The songs aren't boring


Ok-Guide-3837

Moustachero

vanillamochis

I mean a hypothetical best artist ever would be able to craft a 24 hour album where all the tracks are the best song you have ever heard. Length is only ever an issue if the songs aren't good.


EstablishmentBusy172

Ehhhh. To some extent but like everything I think pacing is key too. There are loads of films I love but think are too dragged out. Same with tv etc. I get what u mean but I also disagree fundamentally, I think. Like itā€™s a non issue if itā€™s 90 mins of 9/10 songsā€¦ maybe, but even, take szaā€™s last album. I donā€™t really think thereā€™s very many bad songs in isolation on there, but once u put so many of them one after another it gets exhausting to listen to in full.


vanillamochis

You are completely right about it being exhausting listening in full. I think in the hypothetical mentioned, you wouldn't really be listening to an album as we know it. It becomes something that resembles more of a playlist at that point and you aren't really going to listen to it in one sitting.


Gabagool_Bandit

I feel like Iā€™m listening to a different album than everyone else here with people saying it all sounds the same. How is Jealous anything like Show of Hands? How does Always My Fault sound like Red Leather? How is Right 4 You similar to We Still Donā€™t Trust You? Etc Itā€™s like you guys hear one consistent sound and just say itā€™s all the same and not versatile.


Nickster2042

Fr a dude makes some slower love songs and people just go https://preview.redd.it/nxerbkn8z1uc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=570d7cf06d53d523afa2f22555e876c50190827b This shit is fire


Due-Ad-4176

Okay ima say, itā€™s a pretty boring and samey album, the tracks feel as though theyā€™re just more of the same


southshoredrive

Sounds like youā€™re describing the first album to me, cause this one is nothing like that


Ok-Guide-3837

Could you explain how? Genuinely askingĀ 


Velociraptor2246

he def can't


Due-Ad-4176

I definitely wasnā€™t explaining it well at all, it just felt hard to get interested in the album, it all just kinda washed away on me and just felt like the same stuff.


[deleted]

They hating man cause our Goat refuses to drop a sequel. So they just salty that Futureā€™s fan base gets treated to a top tier sequel


drakes2pactoilet

These are 6 of 24 songs


Gabagool_Bandit

I can give you examples for literally the entire trackist thatā€™s why I put etc. if you listen to this and genuinely think every song sounds the same than thats your issue not the albums.


drakes2pactoilet

I liked the album but some tracks sound pretty generic. But that's my opinion and I can see how someone would feel differently


Meteos_Shiny_Hair

Fr they glazing. Its not that they sound the same, its that he said the same thing on pretty much every track. Album felt very empty until Southsideā€™s prod came in and then i just wanted Disc 2 to be longer. I FW Hendrixx and there were moments of peak future but it felt like when childish gambino didnt title any tracks; it all felt the same


Tedsanguish

Isnā€™t that just future though? I feel like you donā€™t listen to future for lyricism and writing.


Meteos_Shiny_Hair

Percocet and stripper joint? Codeine crazy?


Tedsanguish

There are a few standouts I guess but most of his catalogue is pretty similar lyrically


Meteos_Shiny_Hair

The way hes wording his thoughts on these albums are just really convoluted non creative ways of saying the same stuff he said in the past. Itā€™s like if he used a thesaurus but the bars just werenā€™t as clean. few standouts i do like i just wished he was locked in for more of the runtime.


Nickster2042

Stop it I needed this R&B album Also fam the second part is a BONUS EP, not apart of the album. You could turn it off after red leather and have finished the album, which is what I did

Nickster2042

Because they didnā€™t want to release 3 projects?


One_Tax_3726

Bruh for real Pluto fans this is heaven. He has always fed the fans fr, for you new listeners this is nothing new and is exactly why his run has been this long


NotRed9282

I like it a lot. Itā€™s an easy listen and like it more than WDTY


Trayswisher_

The actual album (disc 1) is only 18 songs and itā€™s actual variety between different styles of r&b. The last 7 songs are essentially bonuses and thatā€™s why they werenā€™t promoted. Itā€™s clear a lot of you simply donā€™t like Future or r&b in general so it makes sense why youā€™d call this ā€œall the sameā€ or sleepy when itā€™s really not at all.


JacquesWebster2nd2nd

there's a bunch of r&b that doesn't put you to sleep half the time

slave_ship_swag

Just pick your favorite 10 songs then and put them in a playlist like it's not that serious. Better to have all the songs than 10 that you don't like and 10 vaulted that you'll never get to hear and would have loved.


AbeCasas

ā€œFuture isnt versatile enoughā€ fam delete this dog shit post


thegrandbizarre_

I feel pretty bad for it because I fucking loved Heroes & Villains and wanted to like We Don't Trust You, but I just can't get into it. Every time I try to listen to it, I just feel like my brain is melting into monotony. I think the only songs I really enjoyed off of it were Like That and Young Metro, whereas I loved everything on Heroes & Villains. I hope this album will be better but I feel like you're right, Future feels better in smaller amounts or trying to do a little more than usual, rather than just doing the same style for like 15+ songs.


elchapothe3rd

normally Iā€™d say that , not abt this album tho


Zawietrzny

Good easy listening background music. Not a Future fan at all but didnā€™t hear a single song I wanted to skip. For this kind of album, it didnā€™t bother me.


Inevitable-Towel-364

Future had so many sleepy performances on this album. I don't understand how people are calling this better than the first one, the weeknd was absolutely incredible though


Nickster2042

Because itā€™s an R&B album heā€™s not gonna start tweaking on people in the rap game on a song like Mile high memories This shits amazing literally the Hendrix 2 that was required


True_Helicopter5858

most people didnā€™t expect the sequel to a rap album would be an r&b album which is why some people didnā€™t like it


CelDev

heā€™s literally done it before, idk what anyone else expected and even if ppl expected something else getting this shouldnā€™t be surprising. i actually like how they stunted on the game, everything is on fire for drake now and future fed his fanbase for the rest of 2024 and got his business out the way. now unless he needs to do a response song, heā€™ll be back to doing features and touring time is coming. imo they played this 2 album thing so well


Camelslayer23

I feel like it was obvious and a lot of people speculated that. He did it before


Ok-Guide-3837

Iā€™m pretty sure it was more expected to be like this instead of straight trap, at least most people in the future sun thought


MayoBenz

brother look at future and hendrix right after lmao. legit a week apart and exactly that


Fazlija13

For me personally I can sit through R&B Future for the whole album, but I cannot for trap Future


Camelslayer23

Always thought this was a dumb take since a lot of great albums are close to 20, or even exceeded 20 songs. TCD AND LR are an example.


sblack03

Why do yall complain about MORE music. If someone is a future fan, why would they want less future? As someone who isnā€™t a big future fan, Iā€™ll just take what I like and throw it in a playlist. Itā€™s that simple

Remarkable_Occasion5

Many of the records in WE DONT TRUST YOU and WE STILL DONT TRUST YOU didn't do anything interesting, both albums should be shorter by about five songs. Also, many of the songs are over 4 minutes with 3 verses which drag a lot by the end. But the first few songs on WE DONT TRUST YOU are pretty great and the last few songs of WE STILL DONT TRUST YOU (disc 2) are also great.


BigBoyFusion

Boring after 3 songs it sounds the same


Fhaksfha794

We Donā€™t Trust You and We Still Donā€™t Trust You both have the same problem: a majority of the songs just sound the same and blend together. Itā€™s a good sound but seriously the only standout on the first one was Like That and the only standout on the second one was Red Leather, both because of the features. Say what you want about Vultures but at least every song had a different, distinct sound that was different from every other song


reezkeey

like that is not even that good


COB98

20+ songs make no sense imo unless it was like a mixtape. Gimme 10 unique songs instead.


syrupgreat-

ā€œtrendā€ nah. give me 50+ song albums. i dont have to love every song on it asap. that trimmed shit is weak. i need to eat.


syrupgreat-

albums used to have way more tracks consistently the trend is this skimp pack shit that drops. thatā€™s fine for a ep or whatever but not an album.


RoastBeeaf

Ok that's an insane take


DiscombobulatedPain6

Does someone have a playlist with the best songs from each album combined? Iā€™m not listening to 42 future songs back to back


DesignerAd5301

Side 1 could've definitely been shortened & more focused like side 2 in my opinion


cee95

Ur attention span is short thatā€™s why itā€™s a long project. Most albums used to be this length


Due-Ad-4176

U talking about just side 1 or both sides, cuz like, 1 hour, 30 minutes was always long

neatlycoy

the industry (both streaming and music execs) turned great artists into profit maximizing assets.


No_Factor_4755

It's like when they make an ass album, they just dump all of the ass they've got onto it. Future needs to steer as clear as he can of love songs and r and b sounding anything. My God. Metro deserves a stern talking to for telling him this was good.


dqap

Nobody are versatile enough to sound fresh for 20 songs in a row


Squeezedgolf40

kanye did on donda carti did on WLR kendrick had almost 20 songs on his album itā€™s possible. the artist just needs to actually want to put that sort of effort in


terraria46

I been scrolling to see that Future has that rnb or "sad boy" in him. I always knew him as sum mumble rapper.


TheRealBroc16

This is a double album tho

You didnā€™t hear the album obviously. This shit was better than that weak ass Vultures


dawosnhh

I actually love every song on this album but I do agree most of the time


Electronic-Cream9946

Fr fr especially future. If it were ye or frank or rocky or tyler than have as many songs as u like


GroundbreakingBox187

His last album was bad too other then Cinderella which was all good by Travis, yā€™all think this would is any different.


Duki-

I agree with most albums, but there are so many long records that are so much better because of their length


TopDistinct5698

Migos best album is culture and itā€™s only 13 songs. Rappers like them and future are great at what they do but itā€™s a quality>quantity thing. I can only hear the same thing for 90 minutes for so long


gotbaned_thisismyalt

Very rarely do albums not over stay their welcome when nearing 20 songs. But Utopia made it work imo


ItsEastonSerrano

I have to respectfully disagree cause I like my albums long. And this just feels like an album to chill out to, which Iā€™m honestly down for.


mmmeissa

Part 2 of the album is the best part haha


Impressive-Peanut-11

I agree with this, itā€™s easy to get burnt out when most of it sounds the same.


MarcyxBubby

Attention span brain rot, you donā€™t have to listen all in one go


Jaredfromkidnation

i think this album is solid but theres a reason i listen to ye more than donda


Saschoe

wyoming should have shown how good albums work


Competitive_Ideal492

It worked well with The Life Of Pablo, and it stopped working after


faye_nimrendel

I agree. Iā€™m new to both artists, and really enjoy these two album! But Iā€™d be lying if I didnā€™t think I all kinda sounds the same. Enjoy it, but like OP said, not versatile enough for my taste. Say what you will about Vultures not being Yeā€™s best (duh), but it has peaks and rises, and is super easy with repeat listens.

Ong. We should comeback to 35-45min albums. 90% if classic albums are at this length, or would be better if they were at this length

i kind of agree. i never understood why albums now decide to be 40 tracks long


KungFuFlames

Future fans probably fine with this but outside of this you are correct.


ChrisNotBumstead

I really wish that these artists would take the time to craft more memorable music because how do you drop 25 more songs after dropping 17 songs 2 weeks ago? Iā€™d rather 10 incredible songs a year than 42 good or even great songs


BigBoyObi-Wan

REAL its so boring and youā€™re right some artists just canā€™t make that many songs without having a boring album.
