Suffice it to say, Milky Ways covers more territory than a dance album of its ilk rightfully should, though it never really clings to that designation in the first place and struggles to fit into any sensible line of kin.
-
It takes a while to cohere, but ultimately the depth as well as the breadth of Joakim's ideas carry the album; indeed, its finest--moments are its most shape-shiftingly ambitious ones.
-
Milky Ways is a simple yet multilayered album that fires on all cylinders.
-
It sounds like this house-cat has finally found his true calling.
-
Milky Ways is a clear upgrade, with better songwriting lending structure to his adventurous genre-hopping.
-
To those without the stomach for Joakim's waywardness, Milky Ways will often sound as much during the course of a listen. For those who are feeling adventurous but forgiving of the same, Joakim is a worthy companion.
