Add your review here. A lost gem... Review written by Jon the Moonspinner, February 16th, 2010 I remember hearing "Smiling Islands" on the radio and being drawn in by the intimate lyric and congenial, sing-song melody--but when Stevie Nicks suddenly appeared halfway through, echoing Robbie's initial part in her bewitching way, I knew I had to have it! Trouble was, though the single could be purchased at Tower and Licorice Pizza, nobody stocked the album. Years later, I found promo after promo in obscure record stores, and learned to love the rest of "Headquarters" (it does take a while). "Smiling islands" will always be the highlight, however. Better as a whole than Distant shores Review written by John Fitzgerald, August 28th, 2004 This time around, Patton opts for a more stadium rock approach with more power chords on guitars and more echo effect on keyboards. Naturally, the near hit single "Smiling islands" is the best moment, an emotional ballad which keeps one waiting for Stevie's spotlight section towards the close and it's worth the wait. The closer, "Look away" has Christine helping out on backing vocals too and this also ranks well above average but Robbie goes it alone the rest of the set which may have hurried his place in musical obscurity along as the worst parts are cardboard rock but there's some good moments too like the title track that kicks off side two of the album. On the whole, probably a little more colorful than "Distant shores" but the absence of Mac can be apparent throughout.
