No Age has been getting big over the last few years. Like, astonishingly big. Really, all they've released is a bunch of EP's and an album, but somehow they've made top 50 albums lists consistently with every release since Weirdo Rippers.
Part of me thinks that now is the time for them to release some crazy experimental statement. Something really iconic. If they did so, and expanded their sound, I think they could be one of those bands that we look back on and think of as being representative of an era (e.g. SY for the latter '80s).
They need to start fucking around more; more weird songs. Longer, louder, and more dynamic. Right now they're like our Husker Du, but they have potential to be even more.
