CRITIC REVIEWS

60
American Songwriter

Perhaps the two are merely feeling each other out and taking advantage of their options. Whatever the case, 18 still seems like an odd assortment of numbers at best.

The Telegraph
The bruised Hollywood star conjures a crunchy lyrical psychodrama about the high price of fame, while Beck hasn't played so well in decades.
50
Rolling Stone

18 is almost confrontationally tone deaf.

40
AllMusic
Tonally, Beck and Depp don't quite mesh -- Beck's guitar wants to soar, Depp stays earthbound -- and instead of generating something rife with tension or an outright failure, the results are just leaden and dull.

The Guardian

18 is a peculiar and hugely uneven record. And it would be a peculiar and hugely uneven record even if Depp had never been near a courtroom in his life.

40
The Independent

It’s hard to imagine the level of intoxication and/or self-delusion that convinces someone that a record this weak would be a grand comeback statement.

40
Classic Rock

It would be exhausting to list all the crimes these two commit in the name of rock'n'roll on this record.

Can't believe Johnny Depp took a massive W and a massive L in the same year.
Gonna need a mega pint after this one.
