I think Penguin is the weakest of the Bob Welch era Fleetwood Mac albums. I agree that Christine's 3 songs are terrific, especially Did You Ever Love Me. I think Chris and Bob Weston blend together very well. Bob Welch's songs are OK, but not as good as on Mystery To Me. I just can't stand both of Dave Walker's songs. In my opinion, they seem out of place on the album. He seemed out of place in the band. Caught In The Rain is a nice instrumental, though. Overall, the album is still definitely worth having, for Christine's songs alone.
