"Cheer-Accident is a phenomenal ensemble. NOT A FOOD provides a glimpse into the mindset of the band, though the album is not a fair representation of the myriad modes employed throughout their entire body of work. The album is probably best characterized as progressive math-rock metal. While this is a fair characterization, it is not a complete one. For those interested in hearing the band and having a primary preference for post-hardcore math-rock music, this is probably as good a place to start as any. For those having primary prog, pop, or avant-garde preferences, I recommend BABIES SHOULDN'T SMOKE, THE WHY ALBUM, and ENDURING THE AMERICAN DREAM, respectively."
