I see Time as a necessary link in the chain that kept the pulse of the band alive. It is not the strongest link but it's a listenable album. Christine's songs were critical for the fact that they provided the most identifying qualities of the most popular version the band.
In the Time era it was so uncertain where the band was going. In hindsight, the album served as placeholder. Fate intervened, and the five fireflies managed reconvene for The Dance, as well as the current tour.
This most successful configuration has only made five studio albums. Hopefully they can manage to a sixth one - the last one.
