Details Release Date: Sep 07, 2004; Lead Performance: Christine Mcvie

McVie displayed superb songwriting chops in Fleetwood Mac, but this solo effort is an uneven affair. At its best and fastest, In the Meantime recalls Gaucho-era Steely Dan, its nimble melodies highlighted by sleek yet warm production. The slower tunes, though, don't stand a chance, thanks to the insipid lyrics.
