Centralia is the debut studio album by the American band Car Bomb.

[1] The album's title was named after the doomed town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, which was abandoned during an underground mine fire.

[2] The track's lyrical content and titles cover various topics - Cielo Drive (also known as 'Bloodbath Orgy') was named after the road on which one of the infamous Manson Family spree-killings were committed (10050 Cielo Drive), H5N1 is the medical abbreviation for the then-recent outbreak strain of Bird Flu, while 'M^6' covers neglect of a mother.

Critics praised the album's complex and ferocious rhythms.

Keith Bergman, writing for Blabbermouth.net, argues in a highly positive 8/10 review that the album is "a lurching start-stop mélange of tempos that switch back and forth fast enough to give you whiplash, even more brutal for its lack of cohesion and unsettling, jittery rhythmic convulsions.
