Christine did well with Lindsey, but never needed him like goat needed him. McVie made magic by herself and others. I love that she had all these other co-writes and co-singing songs with others.

I mean, what she accomplished with Lindsey is remarkable—the perfect marriage of a tunesmith and her producer. But yes, she has collaborated very well with others.

The acoustic version of Friend that she co-produced with Dan Perfect is one of my all-time Christine moments, as is “Forgiveness.” And the best Fleetwood Mac song of the first decade of the 2000s is “Giving It Back,” which sounds more like classic Mac than anything on Say You Will.

I forgot about In The Meantime. It's as good as anything she's done with FMac. I feel like Christine just keeps matching or getting better.

Yes, Forgiveness is wonderful. (every second). I love the outro because it's an outro and Lindsey may not have produced that for her.
Also, Bad Journey was arranged in such a cool way with the ac. guitar and vocal harmonies. Lindsey wouldn't have done better with that one either, in my opinion. And then there's You ARE and the Sweet Sweet So Sincere.
Her solo albums are hardly bland to me. Her reputation is all a Calumny.

The lyrics to Ask Anybody are better. Ask Anybody is a solid radio song for sure. The production on both is good, but the hypnotic quality of Only Over You, especially at the end, is more captivating. And I agree about the "Angel please don't go/I miss you when you're gone" part. And yet on the whole it does rather drone, if pleasingly.
