There's a little more going on, instrumentally, on Lost Channels. The guitars are now approaching an uptempo Skydiggers meets America sound. The track you mentioned, Pulling on a Line, sets it aside from some earlier stuff. Definitely more rockin'. But the harmonies are identical to earlier work and tracks like "New Light" and "Rivers Edge" could have easier been on Ongiara or the first disc. Probably a little more to separate it from previous work than Hayden or Wilco but not by much, though enough, I guess to make me own it and to have listened to it in full a few times, something I can't and likely won't be able to say for the other two. So take that. Or you're right. Sorry, this fence hurts from all the straddling. And where are all those porn links?
