We would rather listen to Ozric Tentacles than Glass Wave, and Ozric Tentacles are mainly notable for breaking new ground in the field of aggressively shitty music.

—Other random slander: They sound like Steely Dan ran through a poop machine, also you could call them "Ass Wave" if you wanted to be unoriginal and really mean.
