Agree about The Loneliest Place In The World, absolutely superb track.

I looove The Tower too, it's a dead heat between it and When Empires Burn for my favourite BC solo album. But neither quite reaches the height of those magical Magnum albums. I think it's mostly in the lyrics, Clarkin is a genius. Never on the wrong side of cheesy unlike Gary (mind you he is one of my favourite lyrics writers ever) who is responsible for some incredibly sappy ballads and dodgy lyrics.

And the ridicilous sex songs of late has to go. It's not a wrong subject per se but he can do much better than that.

I do think Bob's solo albums brought out the best in Gary. They are all brilliant. It also helps Bob is a masterclass singer, he really becomes one with those songs.
