With its infectious hooks and upbeat energy, "Islands" remains a nostalgic relic of the synthpop era and a testament to Kajagoogoo's contribution to the sound of the 1980s. While not as commercially successful as their debut, the album still holds a place in the hearts of fans of the band and the genre.
