With SYW that was undoubtedly Lindsey but the album to me (and Christine) sounded like Buckingham Nicks with Fleetwood and McVie as the rhythm section.
Lindsey got far too much of his own way without the English Tea Lady to stand up to him and the result was (IMO) an overlong album.
He may have had more freedom and there was more testosterone around but I believe the balance that Christine provided was sadly lacking.

You know what? I like SYW a lot. It's probably the best Mac album since Tusk. That said, I love Chris's ITM more...a lot more. I was thrilled to hear twelve new Chris songs (plus "Come Out to PLay" and the acoustic "Friend). It was an ironic fulfillment: both Mac and McVie put out more songs respectively than I had any hope to wish for.
