Yankee Hotel Foxtrot will celebrate its 20th Anniversary on the 18th

[Stan]

Surprised Natalie didn't get in touch with me for the definitive word but fair effort on the write-up. 6/10.

[wilandhugs]

damn, enjoyed the write-up as it leaned into the concept of the album in a way I hadn't gleaned
I love CHz and I'm glad we are seeing it's critical second wind (which, I honestly anticipated...), but I'm not sure I was ever really sold on the "alien radio" idea. Maybe it was an age thing, maybe it was a mindset thing, but I think I see exactly what the group was angling for in that regard. I always took those concepts to be representative of "overstimulation in the digital era", (which I still think holds true as well), but now I see the album as a trip in and of itself. The real alien radio was the friends we ma
Anyway yeah I love CHz to death and always regarded it well. As time goes on, I have realized the intentionality in all of the group's work, and that there really is no 'tier' to the quality of their albums, rather they reveal themselves differently. The experience that merriweather offered was much easier to notice for the general population, and obviously wasn't clouded in the perspective of just blindly listening to critics.
Anyway, as for the album: It really has the 'desert haziness' atmosphere, influenced by pavement and SM3 and such, but absolutely drives it into their own style and makes it into a strangely operatic, tattooine-surfing experience drunk with introspection. I can only fathom what this album will continue to reveal as time goes on.
Makes me happy to see them treating thes songs with respect as well by playing them live, defying what the zeitgeist believes. Hope this means PW songs will enter the rotation next cycle and we get a similar re-evaluation by fans...

[dansemanatee]

I only got into anco somewhat recently, its been a little over a year since I first listened to chz so my experience might not be as personal or endearing as some the ones previously mentioned but this album is also pretty special to me. I guess I had kinda of low expectations based on what I had heard other people say so how good it really was kinda threw me off guard. applesauce has always been a favorite of mine so it was really special to see them play it live. Its definitely not my favorite by them and there are a couple things that irk me in the slightest but not enough for me to denounce it or anything, I still find it to be an amazing album.

anco's music obviously has a visual component, you truly never stop seeing the forest comparisons with so much of this material. I won't deny that I get that from a lot of their stuff too. but czh'z atmosphere reminds me of going on a road trip with a couple friends in the summertime (I literally just realized that's sort of what the first song is about but I promise I didn't do that on purpose). it's busy and often very high energy but there's a consistent sense of contentment, even though a lot of the songs are about overwhelming concepts like aging and technology and whatnot.

honeycomb and crimson are also some of my favorite anco songs.

anyway this album is not a burrito hitting a windshield it feels more like going scuba diving and being in the presence of all these vivid colors and shapes and all this different life going on all around you or whatever.

As a counterpoint, I think it's entirely OK and fair to say that CHz is emphatically and very obviously a deliberate and challenging response to a very natural and successful progression in their discography. It's a jarring, occasionally unsuccessful record which has its place, but occupies one of the lower rungs of their career. The critical and commercial response is not necessarily misguided, it's simply an authentic reaction to a less impressive, cohesive record.

good article, the album has never clicked with me but I now want to try again for the hundredth time

It is a reaction to MPP, but I think it's a little more nuanced than people give it credit for, just bc they don't like it. Avey and Deakin were both obviously in pretty dark places, Avey having just gone through a breakup in a relationship that was the subject matter of a lot of MPP songs, personal stuff etc (I mean Down There too but...) and Deakin having had to deal with immense feelings of doubt with having been out of the band with the most successful album of their careers. They obviously wanted to make a gnarled, jaded, messy album to simulate their feelings at the time. And Noah with NTB I feel was going through some jaded sort of feelings as well.

I feel like CHz always gets this rap like they made it to undermine the success of MPP, but I don't think that's completely true. They were pursuing something sonically that simulated their headspace.

[rohcti]

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'deliberate', i mean I mostly agree with what you said. They almost certainly knew they were making something more 'challenging' right off the bat with a song like Moonjock. But I feel like outside observers, not necessarily fans on here, who know about Chz will always see it as the equivalent of MGMT's Congratulations (another great album tho), where it's a direct rebuttal of their success, and I just see other factors playing bigger roles in Chz's sound

[Fovrodi]

I think they treated the album like a race rather than a marathon if that's not a lazy way to put it? Front loaded with Moonjock and Today's Supernatural doesn't really give the album a chance to wake up, and I've always scratched my head on why one of their most maximalist albums is shorter than MPP. It gets a little claustrophobic, album needs a chance to breathe and stretch its legs (Gotham, Crimson). This alternate tracklist is probably the one that took me the longest to arrive at but I believe in it

Centipede Hertz
[Hidden CHz DVD audio]
Applesauce
Wide Eyed
Father Time
Moonjock
Today's Supernatural
Rosie Oh
Gotham
New Town Burnout
Monkey Riches
Honeycomb
Mercury Man
Crimson
Pulleys
Amanita

In a regard, yes, but I think art doesn't have to be assessed from the perspective of continuity of reaction. I mean, I was influenced to appreciate MPP by it's reception, but I've come to find my own appreciation of it for what it is as well, and from the perspective of the artist, I don't think there's any deliberation in making something sound some way besides trying to harness the present feelings you're experiencing. So, of course it's a subconscious reaction to how MPP was perceived, but I think that many people have carved their own response, so it's fair to say that both analyses are true, as people respond to how they appreciate art based on their environment.
Fun way of saying different strokes I guess, but it's more like, if I can appreciate it outside that context, then that appreciation is just as valid-- and as far as how MPP influences how people perceive it, that value tends to 0 as time goes on anyway. Sure some people always might, be less people will, as is the case now.

[destiny]

I liked the yt comments section review for centipede hz bc it sobered me as a child to the fact that journalistic music criticism is empty and they really have no idea what they're doing or writing so they just have to make up some bullshit like the burrito thing. It sounds like a burrito falling down your windshield... because theres a lot of sound in it... like theres a lot of different food... in a .... burrito... right

I definitely disagree with this sentiment. I feel like Centipede Hz is definitely some of their best work.. and it's very cohesive as far as flow and sound and works as a single whole just like MPP, and even moreso than more classic favorites like Strawberry Jam or Feels, for me. I honestly like it better in a-lot of ways than SJ, Feels, Sung Tongs, etc. It sounds more evolved to me compositionally and experimentation-wise. Very rich and layered and lots to discover over time, and a really unique sound and piece of psychedelic art... I never understood the wave of panning that followed the trendy critics' reviews and it's always been a favorite of mine. I don't think it was a deliberately challenging response to their work either, I think it was a genuine effort at making something new and interesting and continuing the progression in their sound and really is under-rated. I met Geo after a show in Vancouver once and talked about Chz and how much I love this record and how it's under-rated and he said it's also one of his favorites they've done and he agreed. I definitely feel like the reaction is misguided, but it may just be a record that only really hits for certain individuals. Time will tell.

Huh.. what? Lol. I mean it sounds more dynamic and explorative / advanced with the sounds / samples / layers and general composition in a-lot of ways to me than their earlier records. I feel like it's a more mature work basically / the work of artists who have been working at something for a-while and have gotten better at it. I don't understand what's confusing about that.

Lol. I'm a writer and it's used much more exuberantly in other places, rather tame in comparison here. xp

[zebrahman]

Anyways, I'm not trying to convince anyone, just stating that I always felt mystified with the general feeling that AC fell-off after MPP, I always felt like they kept growing and exploring new sonic territories and pushing the envelope, which is why I fell in love with them in the first place. I love Centipede Hz and Painting With, and all of their records..

The musique concrete stuff they were talking about ahead of the albums release did not make any musical sense to me, still I think what they were doing early on was definitely more boundary-pushing in terms of what was even listenable.

Depends how you look at it, in some ways I feel like their fusion of experimental and pop sensibilities is even more 'forward thinking' than the purely experimental/'noise' music of their early days. In any case one net-effect of AC's music on me has been for my ears to learn how any sound can be used musically and also how any sound can be inherently musical... and I feel like that is most evident when they mix traditionally "non-musical" elements playfully with more "musical" elements successfully. That's what I love about their progression over the years, and I feel like they do it really well on Centipede Hz.

[Fovrodi]

Take it as a compliment, you're closer to ACs way of seeing things than ours. They were saying Danse Manatee was more pop than what they were doing on SJ or MPP which I will never understand

Haha, in part--maybe, but I wouldn't pretend to understand that particular claim either. :p I hadn't heard that one. I have read that Danse is Geo's favorite AC record somewhere or heard it in some interview.

Peace to you too. I basically just meant that they've been experimenting with using odd sounds, textures and samples in a musical way and working towards a successful balanced fusion of experimental and pop music for their entire career and I feel like they did a better job of that on Centipede Hz than a-lot of their previous work, and also took it to another level. I know this isn't a popular opinion but just felt like voicing my love for the record. It's also the most explosive AC record and I really dig that vibe. The overloaded quality that Pitchfuck panned it for is precisely a huge factor as to why I love it. Lol. xp It has a similar effect on me as Clarence Clarity's No Now album which is another one of my favorites (worth checking-out if anyone hasn't heard it).

[tdegenaro]

i just came in to say the whole album is such a rewarding no-skips experience if you listen to it like that but lol what the hell is happening in this thread

[tdegenaro]

sorry to spam are the radio transmissions from the album run-up available anywhere?

[Stan]

Album is crud.

Worst of all, it stinks so bad I wasted many hours of my life saying how bad it stinks.

Edit The comment is in jest but I've given my detailed opinion so many times on here, I'm not interested in engaging with the critical reappraisal. I couldn't care less about the narrative or whatever any music critic thinks, my own opinion is that the album is self-evidently highly variable in quality. There's a lot of B/C-tier Dave songwriting with textures and samples so self-consciously jarring, it borders on AC cliché. Of course it's a decent enough album, they're very talented and a couple of the songs are great, it's just relatively poor overall for Animal Collective.

"My show is actually a version of a mix I made for Ben Allen (Centipede Hz Producer) before we went into the studio. He asked us for a list of songs that we might reference in terms of sound and vibe so he could understand how we wanted the album to sound. We put together a list of songs that either encompassed the overall sound and vibe, or just had specific things we liked, such as drums sounds, or vocal effects. Rather than just send him each song, I thought it'd be fun to make transitions in between each track and sequence it out into 4 separate continuous hypothetical LP sides, which is what we were thinking for the sequencing of our album. For the final show of AC Radio we thought it'd be cool to play this inspirational mix and the album back to back." Geologist

First four songs + Anamita = would have been an amazing EP. still grateful for the rest of the album of course

[headroom)))]

The breakdown in NTB is transcendent. Those chords affect me in a way that very few songs do. Like my body wants to submit to the pain of a burden and collapse but as the chord change at 3:24 comes in all the pain is dissolved and my spirit floats upwards. Its an intensely emotional song for me, and interestingly in a way that Avey's songs usually are for me. Pure, raw, blistering, emotions.

Would drool to hear this song as a string arrangement.

when will stan experience the ego death required to enjoy this album?? (jk jk)
I actually agree for the most part with stan's points on chz, albeit with a healthy fondness from having fallen in love with it before I was so deeply invested in the band.

The stereogum article was a great read.

For me the album works so well as a response to what I see as a general aesthetic crisis that existed in the early 2010s. MPP was their breakout but it's not like popular culture actually took any notes or learned from it. music remained digital, spaceless, quick to gratify. remember the extremes of dubstep and the pervasiveness of 'drops'? in short- UGLY. Mindfulness was cast way, way aside. (to be fair at the time I was a young teenager and mostly listened to EDM... I know there was plenty of beautiful music being made too. But-) to me that is the context of CHz. "Everything's a bit fucked up, this is how it feels". Yea it kinda sounds ugly. Yea some of the songwriting is a bit ugly. Sometimes you gotta make ugly art. despite its less satisfying moments there is so much still to love in centipede hz.

The thing about CHz is that it has Monkey Riches, which is one of my absolute favorite AC songs, which has such a subtle but beautiful development across its runtime while also committing one of the worst songwriting sins of referring to “this song” (even worse, “how I wrote this song”). I agree about the “ugliness” of the record, I think it’s great if not often hard to swallow. I know Painting With is often compared to the music from Rugrats, but honestly that comparison always felt more apt for CHz.

Anyway there’s nothing else like this record so I’ll always love it for that

Not saying you disagree, but I remember people saying this on /mu/ with negative connotation, and like Rugrats music is insanely good, maybe I'm just nostalgic but it's fuckin Mothersbaugh how did people land on that as a criticism
