Of the ones you mention, I enjoy Law and Order as a record the most. Love it, love it, love it. The others have great moments, and I must have listened to The Wild Heart 400 times the year it came out, straight through. But in the past twenty years or so, I've often found myself imagining what could have been if all those solo albums were combined into annual Mac projects. Those musicians really benefit from working together...

I'm interested to know what songs you feel are duds on In the Meantime. I can probably guess one or two of them. Still, that album is the one I was wishing she had made in 1984! I remember waiting weeks for the release of "Christine McVie," and then being disappointed that it was a little glossier than I wished and not as bluesy. I remember dreaming of the album I wanted and then when ITM came out I said "That's it!--that's the one!"

And "Forgiveness" is one of her best songs. Even if we never get another Christine album, we have that song, that wonderful gem.
