Monster (Future album)

Monster is the ninth mixtape by American rapper Future. It was released on October 28, 2014 by Freebandz Entertainment.^[1] Along with Beast Mode and 56 Nights, it is considered one of "a trilogy of album-quality mixtapes" that Future released following Honest.^[2]^[3] The mixtape was executive produced by St. Louis producer Metro Boomin.

Critical reception

In Vice, Robert Christgau gave Monster a "B+" and described it as "strong like pop so seldom is. Vulnerable like pop so seldom is too."^[4] Sam C. Mac from Slant Magazine gave Monster three-and-a-half out of five stars,^[5] while PopMatters critic Colin McGuire gave it six out of ten stars.^[6] Future explores a darker sound on this mixtape due to the help of producer Metro Boomin. According to XXL, Future shines on this mixtape even without the help of other rappers since the record only includes one guest verse from Lil Wayne.^[7]
