Press Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t will haunt your dreams. Acoustic guitars strummed in time with dance beats, tinny vocals and tons of slap-back reverb -- it's like some magical pop formula concocted long ago... Blender (Magazine)
3 stars out of 5 -- "'Without You' evokes LABYRINTH-era Bowie with its deep, quivering vocals and loopy keyboards. Rolling Stone (p.61)

Comments about CAPITOL Empire of the Sun - Walking On a Dream:
The first 4 tracks get 5 stars from me, they are all fantastic songs but after that the album seems to go downhill... If they had a couple more great singles in the mix this album would be fantastic.
