This stuff is really interesting, but the idea that it is better then Marquee Moon-era Television (as Richard Hell would like us to think) strikes me as kind of ridiculous. To me, this is a bunch of talented young guys sounding almost exactly like a band that they-- and many others-- love: The Velvet Underground. It's fun to listen to and, despite being derivative of great stuff, is still derivative. Marquee Moon is not.
