Here are a few new reviews (the first is only one line long); neither too spiffy, I'm afraid.
From the Edmonton Sun (Alberta, Canada), 8/22/2004:
IN THE MEANTIME: Christine McVie (Koch) -- Voice sounds like Annie Lennox; songs, alas, do not. 2 1/2 out of 5
From the Ottawa Sun, August 22, 2004:
In the Meantime
Christine McVie
Sun Rating: 2 1/2 out of 5
Christine McVie has picked up the brief solo career interrupted by her Fleetwood Mac duties with a solo album of sturdy, unexceptional adult-oriented rock.
McVie's strong, sultry voice is wedded to a capable backing band (including her nephew Dan Perfect, who in addition to playing guitar helped write songs, mix and produce the album).
As for the songs, little leaps out. Only with the accusatory Liar (the fourth-last song) does the album start to simmer.
Fans of Fleetwood Mac may want to catch up with what the singer is doing these days, but no one else need run to the record store.
