0.0 | Lewis EMERITUS | August 26th 12 | From behind clumps of trees in the distance a railway train came past, all the carriages were lit up, the windowpanes were certainly let down. One of us began to sing a popular catch, but we all felt like singing. We sang much faster than the train was going, we waved our arms because our voices were not enough, our voices rushed together in an avalanche of sound that did us good. When one joins in song with others it is like being drawn on by a fish hook.
So we sang, the forest behind us, for the ears of the distant travelers. The grownups were still awake in the village, the mothers were making down the beds for the night.
Our time was up. I kissed the one next to me, reached hands to the three nearest, and began to run home, none called me back. At the first crossroads where they could no longer see me I turned off and ran by the field paths into the forest again. I was making for that city in the south of which it was said in our village:
"There you'll find queer folk! Just think, they never sleep!"
"And why not?"
"Because they never get tired."
"And why not?"
"Because they're fools."
"Don't fools get tired?"
"How could fools get tired!"

0.0 | Julianna Reed EMERITUS | August 21st 12 | For every delectable moment on Centipede, there's one with too much on its shoulders. Centipede's bogged
down by a group that doesn't quite know when to stop adding extraneous elements - each song has a rigid
backbone, only to be lobotomized by an unhealthy penchant for unnecessary electronic ingredients. ...But
hey, maybe this'll grow on me. Lobotomies can be good fun, right?

2.5 average | Fuff24 | August 24th 12 | Lacks the giddy bliss of their last two releases. It is both noisily tuneless and incredibly boring, an amazing mix that betrays a band so in search for their next direction they abandon the elements that made them palatable in the first place, instead burying their vocals and instruments under effects until it becomes a slurry. A few bright spots aside, this band has released far better music than this

0.0 | mindleviticus | August 24th 12 | An album that was inevitable to be a bit worse than Merriweather or Feels, almost half rthe
rsongs did not phase me at all and they've gotten a lot more annoying than they used to be rwith a
lot more psychedelic synth and drum sounds being shot out at you in every direction. rAlso,
they've largely abandoned the folk influences that have been present on every album rprior and it
has a tiny lack of catchiness that the previous albums had. Songs like rToday Supernatural,
MoonJock, Monkey Riches, Pulleys and Applesauce really highlight this ralbum greatly. While the
song Wide Eyed is good, there's a continuous feel of boredom and rlack of cohesion with the next 2
songs that follow. I'd also would've liked the last song on rthe album to have the same effect
that made the finisher on the previous album "Brother rSport" (Brother Sport being my favorite
Animal Collective song) made me feel, the album as a rwhole is pretty shit, but it could've
been a lot better and because I had such high rexpectations because of Merriweather it slightly
decreased the enjoyment level of the album.

3.0 good | Aspenshadow | August 20th 12 | On repeated listens most of this has worn off quite a lot. Wide Eyed, Mercury Man, and
Monkey Riches are pretty good, but other than that there's really nothing very interesting
in this album. Just like every AnCo release before it.

3.3 great | Erwann S. STAFF | March 2nd 22 | Bursting with colourful energy, Centipede Hz is as sonically powerful as it is a glorious mess. Its maximalism goes sometimes a bit too far, but it never cross the "ew nah" border thanks to the great - yet extremely hidden - songwriting.
Bump |
3.5 great | Finn Baker | November 6th 16 | This reminds me quite a bit of Strawberry Jam, in that it feels based around guitars and distortion. It has this sort of electricity to it, as well. At first listen a year ago, I didn't appreciate it for what it really was, but now I love about 80% of Centipede Hz. Every AC album has 1+ forgettable track. Here, that would probably be Father Time or New Town Burnout. Everything flows together beautifully, though, and it sticks out as a personal highlight.

4.0 excellent | ANJ45 | February 24th 14 | I understand the 3.5's this is receiving. I also understand the 4.5's. A little bit of a disappointment to begin with, but honestly, it's still nearly as fun as almost all of their other material. Maybe not as satisfying in all ways, but still just as worthy.
Bump |
3.0 good | sarcasgnostic | December 6th 13 | Sometimes it sounds like a fantastic blend of the colourful fun from Strawberry Jam and the shapeless noise from Here Come the Indian, but often it sounds too much of a muddy clusterfuck of an album to be compared to anything between Sung Tongs and Merriweather Post Pavilion.

3.5 great | iGuter | January 14th 13 | Animal Collective is still the spastic, charming band that fans love and music still continues to be an art to them; but at times their new album feels like a pinball machine that won't let the ball fall into the drain. That being said, this is still a great album that should be a test for the millions who have followed them for so long.
Bump |
4.5 superb | dean3 | January 5th 13 | a few incredible songs, some filler, a diverse album where you can hear who had the most responsibility for whatever track. post-modern in an abrasive sense, the cover looks how this thing sounds
Bump |
0.0 | Steoandnoodles | September 12th 12 | I really liked the songs on this album but my main flaw was I felt the mixing and production on repeated listens was a little flat. It didn't have that embossed sort of mixing I like to hear and even the elements or sounds that took the front stage didn't really tickle my ears or do much to make me smile. I still think Animal Collective are great and I definitely felt this was a good album but not their best.
