Juice WRLD’s Second Posthumous Album Sounds like It Could’ve Been Recorded Yesterday.

HipHop DX
JUICE WRLD'S 'FIGHTING DEMONS' IS A GUT-WRENCHING BUT REWARDING LISTEN.
-
Clash Magazine
Ultimately ‘Fighting Demons’ works almost as a tribute record, gathering fragments of his undoubted genius. Whether it’s a true Juice WRLD album, though, is another matter.

Commedia
If this is the final bit of posthumous Juice WRLD music fans get, though, it was a solid album to end on with a few great songs, but no bad songs.
-
Pitchfork
Juice WRLD’s second posthumous album attempts to be more of the same, highlighting the best and worst qualities of a generational talent gone too soon.

NME
Released to mark the second anniversary of the artist's tragic death, this is a rare thing: a posthumous album crafted with exquisite care.

Ratings Game Music
Fighting Demons sounds like it was put together a month ago. It literally features sounds that artists use today. It also features topics that are extremely relevant today. While it is sad to hear Juice talk about things that ultimately led to his demise in the album, it’s clearer and clearer that he saw himself as somewhat of a prophet; something that makes this album intriguing, somewhat spiritual, and strangely appropriate. This doesn’t quite feel like a posthumous album; it feels more like a diary that was meant to be read.

AU Sports
Fight Demons is too polished to be considered a total flub and its heart is in the right place, but it’s hard to see it as anything more than another product falling off a long assembly line driven by dead rappers.

Legends Will Never Die
I was honestly a bit worried about how this album was gonna turn out, but I ended up enjoying it quite a bit & it’s definitely one of the better posthumous outings I’ve heard all year. Only a couple of the joints on here seem cobbled together, but the rest is just fully fleshed out AND they’re actually enjoyable for the most part.

Fantastic Hip Hop
Overall, while Fighting Demons may come with its set of flaws on top using material that was already cut from another posthumous album leaves the ceiling only so high, it’s a good posthumous record that does a fantastic job at embodying everything that made Juice WRLD a late 2010s cultural icon.
