    This posthumous album from Juice Wrld features 16 tracks that would make any rap fan happy.. The instrumentation does it's job very well while the vocal color real shows (Jucie Wrld was recording most of the songs on this album before his untimely death). As for production quality, it up there with the likes of Tupac and Dr. Dre.

    The production is weak, frankly. I find the lyrics boring - actually nothing like Juice Wrld's past work. It brings into account the full authenticity of the album. It feels rushed, and there are far too many features. Jumping on a track with a dead man feels wrong. To profit off of their work and name. The album was not cohesive at all. Just a bunch of features to boost the mediocre music.

    Dispite not reaching the hights of it’s predecessor, fighting demon is still an good album in its own right with songs such as “already dead” being very emotional listens.

Until the Plug Comes Back Around, Relocate, From My Window, Not Enough, Feline, Doom and Rockstar in His Prime they are some of my favorites tracks, there are also some tracks that have Eminem and Juice speaking I don’t know what to really say about them. But the most disappointing song was Go Hard all the hype that is was going to be the first single for Party Never Ends and it’s just not very good, the worst song is with Suga from BTS don’t get me wrong the Juice verse fantastic but when Suga comes on it ruins the whole track it’s terrible. Overall for his second posthumously album it’s great just could have done without Go Hard and the Suga verse you could have put Life’s a Dungeon or Billy Idol. Ranking Amazing.… Expand

    A great posthumous album from Juice WRLD.
    Although not as good as his previous albums, this is still really good. I am not a big fan of the label, they have made many mistakes like scrapping the Outsiders, etc. but I still think they are doing a good job for his 2nd posthumous album, I am still so sad since I couldn't ever meet Juice and we couldn't witness him get to his full potential.

    boring, lowsy beats thrown together by label who's trying to cash in on juice's success, make this a soulless boring project that's easily juice's worst

    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

    Painfully generic and boring album thrown together by his label. His worst easily, do not recommend

    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.

    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.

    El proyecto, está muy desaprovechado. Tiene muy buenas canciones pero el conjunto y idea del álbum es mejorable.

    A wonderful album with several highs but some lows. “Not Enough”, “Girl Of My Dreams”, “Wandered To LA” and “Rockstar In His Prime” are all highlights. “Not Enough” was such an unexpected masterclass such a great song, my favorite he’s ever released. It’s a shame “Rockstar In His Prime” lost a great verse on release but still a good track. Overall amazing album definitely worth a listen.A wonderful album with several highs but some lows. “Not Enough”, “Girl Of My Dreams”, “Wandered To LA” and “Rockstar In His Prime” are all highlights. “Not Enough” was such an unexpected masterclass such a great song, my favorite he’s ever released.

    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.
