It may or may not be. One person's hook can be another person's annoying repeated musical phrase.

but SWS - what are you listening to?!?!?! TTWLG, IOOT, Illumination, EOT, etc etc - all have at least one if not several hooks going at once (IOOT) and they are completely captivating not just to me but to most people i know who don't know or care much about LB.

I will give it another listen. There are a few songs I have a very difficult time getting through. They are just sonically so dense and messy. I do think IOOT has some catchy hooks in it. But like many of his songs, the hook is surrounded by a big sonic mess that gets in my way. Like I am tripping over furniture in an otherwise comfortable room.

on the other hand, somebody in this thread said that IYD CD is full of hooks - i'm surprised about that statement too

IDK if I agree with that statement completely either. It has some nice ones. AL, IYD, YMBTO and to a lesser degree FWIW. But there is meandering. And I feel about GAG like I do about some LB songs - the tone of that guitar is so abrasive and annoying that sometimes I just can't listen to it. In that instance I like her attitude and parts of the melody enough to go with it. Other times it simply hurts my ears.
