Ba da ba dum dum dum ba dum da dum da dum

Incredible prog record from Chicago masters Cheer-Accident. By turns sweet and others HEAVY. Excellent use of dynamics throughout.

The title track is their masterpiece and Graphic Depression is not far behind it. The "proggiest" section of the title track features this drunken pirate lurching riff which goes into one of my favorite drum riffs, referenced in my review title. They add layer after layer, making the listener feel like they've moved on, before it keeps coming back out of nowhere.

Astonishingly good drumming throughout this thing. As a totality, there is a sense of incompleteness which I think is in fact exactly as it should be. A criminally underrated band.

I have no idea why this thing isn't rated higher on this site. In my opinion, it is the best Cheer-Accident release.
