"Cheer-Accident celebrate 20 albums as a beacon of prog-rock absurdity...With the new Chicago XX, their third full-length in three years, these indefatigable Chicago weirdos have hit a hot streak late in the fourth decade of their career...They're a band for the long haul. Founded in 1981, this constantly mutating nexus of straight-faced but smart-assed prog rock and distressing multimedia weirdness ... have perfected an organic dadaism that makes them kin to the Residents, say, or Henry Cow, or Canada's Nihilist Spasm Band. They've always brought heart to their playfulness, and their free-range eclecticism is warm and welcoming-they're a highly intelligent band but never spill over into off-putting cerebral iciness. This might be because of their flair for hook and melody, or because of their fundamental puckishness, which is never mean-spirited-though it can certainly be confusing..." - Chicago Reader. "We've made it to XX!! Maybe we shouldn't still be rocking out this much at "our advanced age," but... well, we are! Harmony and dissonance, love and hate, oboes and drums... they all help to form this delicious and strange bedfellowship." - CHEER-ACCIDENT
