Tony Banks - BANKSTATEMENT album thread (and favorite tracks poll)

Border, The More I Hide It and Throwback

The album sonds a bit crappy, but still, it's a underrated Banks album.

The Border is up there with one of the best solo tracks he ever did and Throwback is a pop song that works.

My personal favorite is Queen of Darkness.

agreed!

Plus Thursday the 12th and That night for me! A wonderful ballad.

A house needs a roof! Classic

Throwback, I'll Be Waiting, Queen of Darkness

Border, Big Man, More I hide it

Not his best work, but still a nice album. Doesn’t hurt, doesn’t blow away ….

Easily my favourite Banks album - I think it's the only one where I at least like every song. Lyrics are as clunky as ever in places, but not enough to distract from the strong emotional core of each song. Plus I like the singers, more than any of the others he's used.

Voted for Raincloud and Diamonds Aren't So Hard as they didn't seem to be getting any recognition. Both lovely little songs I think. Plus Throwback as it could and should have been at least a minor hit

Listened to this again and I reckon it could be Tony's most consistent album. The More I Hide It is the only weak point for me.
