So I know that for the vast majority of you, the name Wavves means nothing, but whatever, I want to get the opinion of people that know of him. There's been a shitstorm of controversy surrounding this guy, from the dude from Psychedelic Horseshit mad hating on him (http://stereogum.com/archives/wheres-the-beef/psychedelic-horseshit-hates-on-wavves-no-age-tvotr_066342.html) in an interview with the Washington Post, to his meltdown at Primavera (http://pitchfork.com/news/35459-wavves-self-destruct-in-barcelona/) and the subsequent cancellation of the rest of his European tour (http://pitchfork.com/news/35474-wavves-cancels-european-tour/), to Jared Swilley of the Black Lips suggesting he give up music and go live with his parents (http://pitchfork.com/news/35583-black-lips-jared-swilley-attacks-wavves/). Then again, this dude was unknown, making music in his room not 9 months ago, so I kind of feel for the guy. Too much pressure at once, y'know? So guys, Wavves, yes or no?

I've heard a few songs. It's alright.

The songs I've heard from Psychedelic Horseshit are horrible though.

I'm sure Pitchfork jacks this guy off, but this shit is boring as boring gets.

I don't know, his music is incredibly simple and all, but it still better than at least 95% of music being made, and with more than half of the speakers on my shitty car being blown out, Wavves is the only thing I can listen to while driving that doesn't sound like shit because, well, it sounded like shit in the first place.

Can't you listen to any other lo-fi album?

True, I could and I do. Since this poll has turned from whether he is a douche or not to whether he makes good music, how about we pick a better representative of current noise rock. What do you guys think of No Age?
