I don't really understand your 'pop' comment; Tweez is noisier I guess but it's bland and tiresome.
Listen to Tweez till you understand it, seriously, put it on an ipod or something if you have one and keep listening till it clicks. It is an awesome record, it's as much about classical and jazz (harmony- not improv) as it is about hardcore and metal. I used to prefer spiderland, then some people that really know music told me tweez was better so I just listened to it till I understood it. Now every time I play spiderland I just think it isn't a patch on tweez, like listening to anything by the beatles that isn't rubber soul or revolver, but that is fine, I can just stick tweez on and marvel at it's genius. It's scary good and I don't know how they came up with it at that age.
I think spiderland is like a pop record because it's so easy to follow all the way through and the lyrics are all nice little stories etc. Tweez appeals to my love of classical, jazz, metal, hardcore and 'avant garde' styles all in one go, with lots of cryptic lyrics. It continually amazes me, spiderland doesn't. I like stuff that 'confuses' me each time I play it, after all, music is just illusions, if they aren't clever illusions, just parlor tricks, then it doesn't appeal. Tweez always holds new surprises, plus I think the music is just miles better
