I loved it immediately. I was prepared for Christine's absence, and as I've never been a huge fan of hers anyway (I like a lot of her songs, but I'm not a fan the way I am of Lindsey and Stevie), I didn't miss her on this album. Everyone seems to complain that it's too long and they don't like the running order, but neither of those things ever crossed my mind, to be honest. "Tusk" has 20 songs, and "The Dance" has 17, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone say those albums are too long.
