Which probably makes it all the more frustrating when her opinions aren't regarded. She
does have experience. She
does have good ideas.
But what's she going to do if they're ignored? Lindsey threatened Mick in the 'Destiny Rules' documentary, that if the band didn't go ahead with the double-album idea, he might take some of his songs back. Maybe Stevie should have threatened the same. That would have put the fear of God in them.

Chris Lord-Alge mixed only one song on the album -- "Destiny Rules." He did, however, remix "Say You Will" for its single release.
If I recall, there was some fight between Lindsey & Stevie, involving money and the mixing process (again, as seen in 'Destiny Rules'). Something about Lindsey dragging his feet and not signing off on test mixes with Chris Lord-Alge because he still wanted Mark Needham, and there being a "lost day" that someone was going to have to pay for.
Again, if I'm remembering right, the dragging of feet ultimately resulted in Chris Lord-Alge booking other work and Lindsey getting his wish.

Have you ever gotten so worn down by someone's vehement insistence on something, that you ultimately give up out of mental fatigue or because you no longer wish to fight? I can see Stevie giving in just to be able to move on.

I believe Stevie meant every word of that, and still does. And I believe she'll be there to support her views when she feels it's time to do that. I know I'm repeating myself, but if Christine and Lindsey are still just trying to fashion Chris' rough demos into workable songs, then this entire thing is still in too early of a stage for Stevie to offer anything of real value. So why should she just sit around the studio, doodling in her sketchbook?
