from MR&R #170 July 1997:
Walker - "Actually, Being Lonely Isn't All That Bad..." LP
"After a bunch of so-so 7"s to review, this is looking like a chest-high fastball with the wind blowin' out. OK, I admit I've watched a baseball game or two lately, but really, "the" killer new release here. Put this up there with DISCOUNT, WESTON, and DIGGER. Awesome pop-punk done AWESOME. A good mix of melody, spunk, and an occasional minor chord. Two re-recordings, I think, a CRINGER cover, and some amazing new songs. If you're tired of pop punk, get this record! It will restore your faith in the genre. Well worth the wait." (Ray Lujan *also topped his top 10 list that issue*)
from Redline Distribution:
"Walker was one of the best pop-punk bands in the Midwest during the mid 1990s. They were not only known for their well-written songs, but also for their unique sound. At a time when most bands of the type were sawing power chords and woah-oohing, Walker was defining a sound of their own. The fact that their songs could have depth and space, while retaining their punk edge, put them in the Jawbreaker category, but without really sounding anything like Jawbreaker."
