Stevie has definitely taken to singing in a lower register. I have never been sure which vocal period I like the best for her. Sometimes I really enjoy the higher '70s sound. At other times, it seems weird because it's almost like listening to a different person.
Lindsey's guitar playing gets better and better. His lyric writing has improved Immensely! Vocally, I liked him best between 1979 and 1984. Before that, I felt he was somewhat vocally too high. His voice seemed to change again around the time he did 'Time Bomb Town'.
Christine sounded great on In the Meantime.
I don't notice a lot of difference with John, but that is probably because I don't know what to listen for.
I agree that Mick's drumming is not as powerful, but that's okay.
