But the most dominant things in her music are the lyrics and the performance. I focus more on those things than the music, mostly because a lot of the music on her solo albums is purely awful.

Agreed. But I'm sure that a lot of those songs could have been, at least had the possibility to be, beautiful if she worked on them with Lindsey. I'm just plain sure about that. All mac-albums except TITN prove that. That is the reason why I don't like her solo-albums except for the brilliant Bella Donna, some of the Wild Heart and incidently on Rock a Little and TISL. For me, it is not enough to have a well delivered performance in emotionless slick and predictible arrangements.
Especially when it is not MEANT that way.
