I prefer Time. BTM is, as everyone else has said, badly produced...the music sounds muddy and generic.
Here are my thoughts on Time. I love all the songs except David Mason's. Some good reasons were explained above as to why he ended up with the band, but in terms of new directions, his presence seems odd at best.
I love Christine's songs on Time but I think, oddly, Time would have been better if she had taken them and completed a solo album...Having just Becka and Billy would have established a core sound. Christine's songs--as fine as they are--don't really sit well alongside theirs. (Don't shoot me.)
Besides, any opportunity for a full Chris solo album would have been awesome...
