I feel I must agree with you on this point, I've had the album
for a week now, and I've been listening to it almost constantly.
I don't think that TSW comes anywhere near to The Dreaming or
HOL when it comes to conveying the feeling in the songs...
There are no songs on TSW that give me goosebumps like
"Cloudbusting" or "Night of The Swallow" for instance.

Of course, there are some great songs TSW as well, "Heads We're
Dancing" and "Never be Mine" for instance, but I think TSW isn't
nowhere near the class of TD or HOL.
