The only direct exposure Stevie and Lindsey had to Christine's material was with the songs in the White Album, all of which were pretty bright, if not all peppy. But had they looked or considered her work from only one year earlier, they'd have recognized that Prove Your Love and Bad Loser are both moody tunes, and Bad Loser in particular is pretty dark. One year before that, Christine's outstanding vocal on Welch's Keep on Going is pretty eerie, and seductive. Her vocal on Hypnotized is one of the most haunting things the band ever recorded.
