Over & Over is good, but the live versions are much better.

Brown Eyes is okay, but it needs way more pop.

Never Make Me Cry is good, but it’s too short and simple.

All of Christine’s Tusk songs needed to be popped up more to match the caliber of her songs on all the other albums.
Oh gosh...I actually have the opposite stance. I think Christine's songs are exactly what makes the album diverse, but more importantly...balanced! The calmness of her material is such a great counterweight to the more hectic-paced material from Lindsey (which I love). Had all of Christine's material been super pop tunes, I think the album would be even harder to get through. It would suffer from what Say You Will suffers from (and what critics said it lacked)

That's just my two cents, this stuff is different for everyone.
