I hate to be the one to bring this up because I love, love, love Christine, but I thought In the Meantime was a bit dull in places. I mean, when a song was good it was very, very good but some of the bad songs just didn't make me feel warm and fuzzy or make me want to sing along like Christine's songs used to. I had really high hopes for this record and even had it express shiped from England. I just don't think it is that great.
However, I will say that Friend and You Are are fantastic and are on par with any of her classic songs- they certainly picked the right singles.
