Sorry, Andy, have to disagree here . . . HoL is the best.  Kate's voice is
better, and the scope of her vision is breath-taking, to say the least.  TD
is virtually without flaw, but the one it does suffer from is that the whole
is only slightly more than the sum of the parts.  HoL, on the other hand,
may be viewed (as an album) on so many different levels (a collection of
songs, a story, an allegory, dream-sequence, etc.) that as a work of art
it cannot be approached.

Does anybody else suffer from the syndrome that, once HoL is played, you
have to shut off the stereo?  Because, after all, what would you play next?
