Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 67.8/100, a mean average of 65.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

What if they say I'm no good? What if they say, "Get out of here kid. You've got no future"? I feel like this is a Coldplay we haven't seen in a while... nostalgia and past comparison come easily to mind.
Following this line of thought, Kaleidoscope EP might be their one of their most diverse works yet. It draws inspiration from lots of songs they did over the course of time: the A Rush of Blood piano driven ballads, the experimental sounds of X&Y and Viva La Vida. Still, the EP fits perfectly in the current era: there's a good amount of the same pop currents they've been swimming into lately, but now, they manage to navigate them better, more maturely even.
As a closing thought: Guy's base hasn't sound so good since the early days of Sparks and compliments the sound they've got going perfectly, Chris' lyrics became more abstract and took a step in the right direction, the piano is put to good use here and there and while I'd lose my shit over a more stripped back sound, reminiscent of Parachutes, I can safely say that I'm very excited too see where they go, if this EP is any indicator of what's to come.

The order of the songs is not well chosen, and Something Just Like This shouldn't be here. But the 4 new songs are pretty good, I'd say X&Y level (most of them). Here's the EP as I would have released it:
1. Hypnotised (9/10)
2. A L I E N S (8.5/10)
3. Miracles (Someone Special) (9.5/10)
4. All I Can Think About Is You (10/10)
