But the way it stands now, Christine and Lindsey have a lot of songs. These are, supposedly, "profound."
I gave up on new Mac music a long time ago, but now am really really really really pissed because in 2014 we were promised an eventual album. It is two years later and no certain or concrete information has emerged since then. I am frustrated and pissed beyond all measure. Right now, I wish Christine never rejoined and worked on the solo album that she said she was interested in doing if she didn't come back to the Mac. I want new music from her. From her. I couldn't care less about the other two.

The thing is when Lindsey took that break to do his solo music (which is what I assume you're referring to), it's not like the band was going to otherwise record. Stevie was not going to go back in and record another album and then tour it. So Lindsey wasn't keeping an otherwise willing band from recording. In fact, if the band was willing to I think it's been said Lindsey wouldn't have taken that break, but he saw that the band was reluctant to record again so he took an official leave (including from touring which is all they've done since). I don't think it had any effect on their potential recorded output though as Stevie, to our knowledge, hasn't contributed a single new song to the band since Say You Will. I don't think Lindsey has ever been the problem keeping them from following up Say You Will. He's been the main one championing releasing new material.
