Christine seems to disappear on the album, then reappear on the last side. After Think About Me, we must wait 10 more songs before Christine appears again for Brown Eyes.

Her lead vocals, maybe yes.

But she can be heard with absolutely amazing playing all over....
So after Think About Me we get her gorgeous layers of piano and backing vocals all over Sara, her stunning layers of keyboards all through Storms (easily the most overlooked gem on the album... listen with headphones especially. I do wish they had left her vocals on Sisters that we hear on the earlier takes. It would have been so great to have a song with the two of them all these years. It is one of the biggest missed opportunities of the band's career.
Her playing on That's Enough For Me also... in one of the bonus tracks you can hear her trying out her bit and commenting how absurdly fast the beat on that song is for her to play to.

And on and on.

That's the essence of Chris, though.... do her bit, do it well, and she doesn't worry if she's in the spotlight or not.
