Trasher, that always SICKENS me, when people compare anything to MBV. Not that MBV are my godhead or anything, but there are so many bands that get compared to them, it's ridiculous. "Oh, you have a bunch of guitar layers on your record and a decent hook in the chorus, you're just like MBV!" They're like the go-to band if you want to compare a band to them and automatically make that band seem interesting or different. No Age sounds NOTHING like MBV, not in the slightest.
Certainly, there are bands with definite similarities to MBV -- Fleeting Joys, Swirlies, etc -- but too many bands get compared to them that sound nothing like them. It's really silly. "Over-distorted guitars and a person who hits notes when they sing! JUST LIKE MBV!" Fuck that.
