Lindsey often speaks of what he gave up to join FM. What he doesn’t talk about is how much joining them provided the structure to become a much better player. Stevie’s singing improved, too: having to harmonize with two singers (instead of just one) probably reined her in.
Christine’s vocals improved, too. But the excellent drums-keys-bass foundation had already been laid years before.

Yes, all of this! It's so clear to me listening to B/N live and album.
The brits made them much better.
