    This is a very polarizing album to cover as Juice Wrld has been unfortunately not with us for 2 years now and is still having music released which to some is seen as controversial. I do think that the production of Juice's latest songs are to put it lightly, absolutely horrendous and flat out lazy. This album still disappointed me though as we got not much to take it.

There are a lot of songs but I only seem to enjoy just a few. I really wish this is a close for Juice's music as it's just getting bad. I reccomend Already Dead, Wandered to LA, and Rockstar In His Prime… Expand

    Two years after his tragic death, Grade A and Interscope decided to release Juice WRLD's fourth (and second posthumous) album "Fighting Demons" – which indisputably has a negative connotation. Commercial intentions aside, Juice takes us on a personal, painful and emotional journey.

    On lonely melodies he addresses depression, anxiety, addiction and the struggle with drugs.

Commercial intentions aside, Juice takes us on a personal, painful and emotional journey.

    On lonely melodies he addresses depression, anxiety, addiction and the struggle with drugs. Unfortunately, both the lyrics and the production itself are very monotonous, boring and weak. The beats don't stand out at all and are quite lousy. Overall, it's hard to imagine that we would have gotten to hear this music if Juice WRLD was still alive.

    My favorites:
    "Already Dead"
    "Wandered to LA"
    "Feline"

    FD is JW's worst album. There are a few amazing tracks like Burn, Sometimes, Cigarettes, Go Hard 2.0, and Not Enough. But the rest is bad. Mostly the production is bad and honestly some of the songs just aren't good lyrically and vocally. I am extremely disappointed in this album.

    Themes of struggling to overcome depression and drug dependency surface often on Fighting Demons, making it a heavier collection than the sometimes celebratory memoriam of Legends Never Die. It's not an essential piece of the Juice WRLD story, but it's also not without some solid reminders of his greatness.

    Fighting Demons is too polished to be considered a total flub and its heart is in the right place, but it’s difficult to look at it as anything more than another product falling off a long assembly line powered by dead rappers.

    Fighting Demons, his second posthumous album is a tortured but overall grateful memento mori from a talented artist who left us all too soon.
