Walking Papers is the debut album by the American rock band Walking Papers, released on August 6, 2013. [1] [2] USA Today called the album "powerful yet nuanced, a kind of rock confident enough in itself that it rarely needs force to make its point." [3] Consequence of Sound was less charitable, saying "It’s a record that largely eschews typical hard rock fare, opting instead for a blues rock that slinks and wafts as much as it crunches and blusters." [4]
