Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
feels more like a clearing of the throat than a new, distinct statement.
-
NME
Is it too much to hope that their Avicii period was the experiment, and this the return to the norm?
-
ALL MUSIC
Within these five tracks, Coldplay touch upon various contemporary trends in EDM, R&B, and rock without abandoning their identity.
-
RollingStone
Continues Mood of Tranquil Satisfaction. 3.5/5
-
The Guardian
EP piles on euphoria, oiled with tacky charm.
-
popMATTERS
one of those EPs with no mission statement, a collection of oddities .
-
Tiny Mix Tapes
Kaleidoscope offers very little not already heard elsewhere.
-
prefix
Kaleidoscope is something of a mixed bag which offers little clues as to where Coldplay will go next.
-
Medium
While the band has long since proven itself, it’s still nice to know that Coldplay’s still got that “everglow.”
-
VARIETY
Chris Martin is consciously coupling himself with an unrelenting sense of the upbeat.
-
sputnik music
Coldplay doesn’t make music for sad people, and they don’t make music for happy people either. They make it for the ones who want to be.
-
San Francisco Chronicle
it’s made up of studio scraps.
-
Cryptic Rock
is a perfect taster to the rest of what is yet to come from the adorable and hardworking band.
-
the musical hype
worthwhile listen.
-
Bearded Gentlemen Music
I don’t know what Coldplay’s mission is anymore.
-
Immortal Reviews
a step in the right direction for the band and has a lot of powerful and great tracks that show a promising new era for the band.
-
GENRE IS DEAD!
Kaleidoscope is quite an easy listen, but that’s also its problem: it feels very generic in some places.
-
The Edge
Every album is allowed to have a few black sheep, but Kaleidoscope is a record made out of a whole flock of them.
-
Mike's Daily Jukebox
chance to experiment a little, release some tracks that just didn’t fit on an another album, and not feel forced to spend forever in the studio.
-
DOPECAUSEWESAID
Completely Lacking Color.
-
RENOWNED FOR SOUND
contains a mishmash of styles, from dream pop and post rock to world music and hip hop.
-
Alternative Addiction
it’s a bit boring.
-
Uinterview
Takes The Best With The Worst.
-
Mountain Times
is very much a hit or miss compilation of tunes.
-
ineverglow
I wouldn’t hold out for a return to their early sound any time soon
-
STACK
No, it’s not a full album, nor is it anything remarkably groundbreaking.
-
BLACKFIRE
Coldplay is the “most sleep-inducing band.”
-
The Sights and Sounds of Music
Kaleidoscope is the band trying to be different.
-
This is a Sham
I would say the music is catchy, enjoyable and edging on commercial.
-
FLECKING RECORDS
dropped an EP which brings something a little different to the table.
-
others
Kaleidoscope is ok musically, but nothing special.
-
pinchlines
This EP is quick and effective, song by song.
