As much as I detest yet another cash grab oldies tour- maybe, just maybe- it was the right thing to do in this instance. Christine and Lindsey have noted Christine's musical rustiness. It sounds like following In The Meantime, Christine stopped playing music altogether. Maybe a year of live shows is exactly what she needed to get back into the groove and find her muse again. Christine will be well oiled and inspired now.
Plus, maybe it was the right way to reintroduce the world to Christine again, and show that she brings the band to the next level. Because let's face it- it's tours that get veteran artists publicity & attention these days. Now that the public has been put on notice as to the awesomeness of Christine, dropping an album
after this tour might just have been a genius move.
And I agree. If the band tours behind a new album, it will be the first time I've been excited about FM since Say You Will. And I will be positively
giddy when/if that day comes. And I will end my 11 year boycott and go see them live with zeal.
