Knife Party 'Kaleidoscope'

[@Fenyll]

I feel so bad because this song is like the most underrated song of the album, but it has so much fucking production value. The whole album feels so polished and it's great.

[@axeloidmusic]

+Fenyll Yeah, the mastering is really amazingly clean.

[@aaronsnyder1611]

agreed im still listening to this one consistently

[@HomiesOfMars]

+Fenyll This is one of my favorite songs in the album, but I can listen to the whole thing and love all of it.

[@danieljuarez3914]

This is my jam

[@Nekogal21]

I feel the same with songs like reconnect and begin again as well as this

[@projectepsilon9560]

definitely the most underrated song on the album

[@aylictal]

When the album first popped, i fell for give it up, red dawn, and dimh, but after all this time those and their charm wore off on me, while this one grew more on me over time. idk what it is. theres a lot of emotion in this one for sure maybe.

[@imwearingshirtsnow2097]

Kaleidoscope is my favorite song in this album.

[@daddylovesisaac]

I just knew someone would say that

[@aaronsnyder1611]

+wimpykidfan 20 Is that because it is the best song on the album? ;)

[@daddylovesisaac]

+Aaron Snyder Cause everyone else says that

[@imwearingshirtsnow2097]

+wimpykidfan 20 everyone says it because it's true...

[@imwearingshirtsnow2097]

+wimpykidfan 20 also, grow up

[@TheBetterGamer]

The audio engineering and compositon is way too good for this to be considered low art. This is high art, fantastic production in sound design and flavor. Sometimes you don't need the most bombastic and electrifying song to be the best. Simple ones can own a crown on their own when done well. And boy... this song really knocked it out of the park for me. When I heard this album for the first time I put this in my top 3 tracks on it and that still holds true today. It's so good.

[@NeonBeeCat]

I'd like to have a word with whoever said rob swire is bad or knife party isn't artistically valid.

[@saadgharbaoui4495]

Im a very old KP fan, I was even one of the first people to know via Twitter that Rob and Gareth wouldnt be part of Pendulum anymore, and I think that this is one of the 3 best songs in the album, old "fans" always complain about new songs from different genres, please stop. If you are a FAN of a group or duo, you start being a follower and that means you follow the musicians and their music, whatever it is, people that call themselves fans and disliked this album are not fans, they only enjoyed a few KP songs.

[@SaxPanther]

An artist does not live to please their fans. They live to express themselves creatively and generally don't give a shit who likes it or doesn't. Some of these very talented artists who spend a lot of time on their work have this insatiable desire to produce and create and innovate and you can't expect someone to pump out the same thing over and over. As you may know Knife Party is completely different than Pendulum, yet I enjoy Pendulum and Knife Party, and really almost all the songs on the album including this one. It is not up to you, as a listener, to criticize an artist simply for producing a certain style of music.

[@battlebroz562]

*clap clap clap and a half to you*

[@drakeredwingofficial]

if only Star Wars fans could hear your words of advice...

[@cckiller0053]

Amen

[@cckiller0053]

DrakeRedwingOfficial I hear his word of advice.

[@MisterKackhaufen]

You are right the artist doesnt have to give a fuck about people liking it but its still okay to say your opinion and a lot of artists are happy to get back some (constructive) criticism. If its not up to me to criticize who should be allowed to critizise them ? The creator themself ?

[@user-ft8sf4nl1j]

This album still hits hard these days. Been a strong fan of knife party since elementary school days, i rlly wanna see them live in person one day

[@moonlitstar7017]

same been a fan since 13 gotta love being full of caffiene and solvents jamming to this shit till u cant hear right anymore :')

[@roddydykes7053]

I saw them live in Edmonton or Calgary about 7 years ago. It was great I think. Unfortunately I was on a decent bit of Molly so it’s not the clearest memory lol

[@iamboringvideos6832]

​​@@roddydykes7053 good thing I know Molly is another name for MDMA From another EDM song (candy kids)

[@ItsEphora]

People who can't enjoy music just because "it's not the original Knife Party" How sad

[@Th4tD4ftPunkGuy]

Indeed, people expect everything to be the same all their lives, but when something changes they start to shit themselves....

[@laurenpaigexox]

I believe Rob said this was going to be more "Pendulum" sounding, people are pissed! I love knife party no matter what, everyones gotta try different stuff. Shame.

[@theRPGmaster]

+Arthur Vyncke (Ephora) Why the fuck would that even be a problem?

[@DubNation2016]

I love how they change their style every album. I can always expect something new and exciting from Knife Party.

[@cory3171]

I have no problem with music producers changing their style of music, it's really nice to see Knife Party trying out different styles of electronic music rather than doing their usual dubstep/drumstep style.

[@FLStudioRmk]

Best track ever... thanks for this Knife Party!

[@ultrastevolution]

To the people complaining about this being nothing like "true Knife Party"; I fell in love with Rob's music back when he was in Pendulum. Knife Party is worlds apart from that, I don't complain about how things arent like they used to be, I embrace the new stuff and enjoy the journey he takes us on because lets face it. Rob Swire can still create some fucking good music!

[@lilyc.g.5567]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, everything Swire touches turns to gold.❤️

[@jacksantalino7371]

There are a few hours left until Abandon Ship's release will be 9 years... This time and my journey with it is are unforgettable and forever in my soul..... It all started with my introduction to Pendulum in 2014, when I first heard the tune from The Island in the splash screen of one minecraft video in the spring or summer. Then in the winter of 2016 I discovered this band in full and found out that they play live as a band and was blown away by the epicness of The Tempest sound and the melody of the last synth part of the song! Then I listened to Still Grey, Streamline, The Fountain and slowly explored this immense ocean of Swire's work. I remember the moment when in December 2016 I heard Encoder Live at Wembley for the first time and just fell out from the beauty of the song.... Then in the summer of 2017 I fully immersed myself in the discography of Knife Party project. It was an amazing feeling to discover each track and study it, to listen to the sound design and notice for myself how they are made and then to realize these ideas in my tracks. And then there was a moment of waiting for new releases from Rob and that was the release of Lost Souls, and the day came when I listened to ID called Nothing For Free for the first time.... It was a dream that melted into reality and I just couldn't believe it.... Then Covid, listening to Rampage Version on repeat and the death of my mom in the summer of 2020... Just so iconic... I'm insanely sorry she didn't live to see the moment of infinite happiness that I caught Pendulum releasing new material after 10 years! And nowadays Rob is releasing new tracks and a new life is underway. But this era will forever be in my soul as something inalienable, unrepeatable, honorable to me and all this chain of random events that led me to this man will be insanely grateful. Without him, his music, I would not have found myself and would not have known myself as a musician and composer. He's my twin flame... So I will forever honor this whole period of my life as a way of becoming and coming to the depth of myself. And thanks to every soul who's helped me and taught me to see myself as a creator and a god.... Pendulum, KP - forever in love...

[@insanemediaproject9689]

It's a nice song to relax in the end of this album. And it's good that KP love to mix different genres. Everyone can find something for their mood

[@MennyMcBride]

& this is how you end an album... With the sound of the crumbling of EDM's hopes & dreams.

This is one of the better songs on the album... It's subtle and melodic

[@Calztchi]

For all those confused about this song, this is the album's outro. Similarly, Reconnect is the album's intro.

[@brokenhertz]

I wish Reconnect had lasted as long as Kaleidoscope.

[@iamverysurpisedthati]

This is by far my favourite song on the abandoned ship album

[@minurath6106]

I love the contrast of this song with the others on this album, the others have such intensity to them, Fast paced and powerful. Then theres this with this mellow, relaxing sound to it. It's an amazing contrast. Keep it up Rob. I miss Pendulum dearly but I understand you wanting to move on to something new.

[@johnnyburk8168]

reminds me of "Strobe", after the intro buildup.... love it!

Wow! This is probably my favorite from the album so far! Even Superstars can't beat this! KP's new album is definitely my favorite one so far. All of these new and different sounds make me go into my own world. This song especially helps since it is Trance.

[@kernel_data_inpage_error]

It's annoying how every comment I see says that the new style sucks, is lame.. BLAH! BLAH! Haters, let me tell you something: Don't waste your precious time listening to music you don't like, and PRODUCE IT YOURSELF THEN!!, leave us alone if you don't like electronic music evolution, and go back to your 14 tracks from Hold Your Colour. Because if your mind is closed, your mouth should be closed as well.

[@stok5445]

My personal problem with this album is not that the songs are bad or poorly produced or what have you because they aren't. The issue I have is that, to me at least, there's nothing that really stands out like Power Glove from Haunted House or Bonfire from Rage Valley. Don't get me wrong, I love that they are expanding and experimenting, but most of these songs aside from Resistance and Begin Again are sort of forgetful.

[@kuy3796]

The songs are not as catchy as others,And i was really expecting more of this album. Anyway, I think these songs aren't bad, Just not as euphoric as others... :) This thing happened to zomboy and skrillex, And They are free to produce what they want. Same with Klaypex... But it's great! Have any of you heard pendulum...Then begin again? :D Knife Party Rocks!

Ok, I have a wild headcanon/theory when I was listening to Genesis from Pendulum's Immersion: Considering the "themes" between Abandon Ship and Immersion, we could say that Abandon Ship could serve as a prequel to Immersion, even though it came years after said album. Idk, Kaleidoscope kinda sounds similar to Genesis as well
