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.
I agree. Christine is who always provided the balance FM needed, and it's no different here. I would've loved getting FIVE Think About Me's, but Never Forget and Honey Hi absolutely serve their purpose, in evening out Lindsey's weirdness.
That said, my least two favorite songs are Storms and Beautiful Child. There's practically no beat to them at all. Snoozeville.
