I just got my new People Magazine in the mail today & there's a pretty nice, but slightly funny review of In The Meantime. The album got 3 out of 4 stars.
Christine McVie
In The Meantime
McVie's cool alto kept Fleetwood Mac from flying away on Stevie Nicks's broomstick. On her third solo album(but first in 20 years), she still has a polished adult-contemporary sound, though leaning more toward the restraint of her gentle 1975 love song "Over My Head" than the irresistible, President-electing surge of her "Don't Stop". Some tracks are undistinguished, but a few, such as the life-affirming "Northern Star" and an incongruously sweet one about tortured love, "Calumny", sound like Fleetwood Mac at its laid-back best.-Kyle Smith ***
