My feelings about the band without Christine must be similar to the way the fans of the Peter Green-era Mac felt many years ago when Peter left. They must have thought, "well, this new bunch of musicians is interesting, but without Peter, they're missing the element that made me love them."

Of course, many PG-era fans disliked the pop direction the band took without him. The comparison breaks down because now because the band isn't taking a radically new direction without Christine. But without her they are missing the element that made me love them. Lindsey and Stevie are still going to put out good music but without Chris's contribution, I think the band is missing something crucial. Of course they're still Fleetwood Mac without her, but a diminished version of the band. "Fleetwood Mac Lite" as the previous poster said. That about says it all, in my opinion.
