In the bridge to the chorus Two Door hits us with that infectious guitar melody that we can never get out of our heads but throughout the song and more prominently at the end, we get a heavy buildup of bass booms which take us to an epic finale of the pre-chorus and chorus overlapping over that undeniably addictive guitar. Kicking off the album with “Are We Ready? (Wreck)” was a most sensible selection considering it’s the truest to their form, all the while, introducing us to their improved sound. But alas, Two Door still find ways to disregard that and come out with a strong album, filled with plenty of catchy guitar play, tons of groovy bass lines, and at the end of the day, they are as fun and danceable as ever. Embracing an electronic addition seems to be the current trend when considering main stream music and its blatantly obvious that this is exactly where it took them. Simply put, no would be the correct answer, but it also doesn’t push fans away either. The real question is then, “did it work in their favor?” On their third installment, 3 years later, “Gameshow” stays true to that shift in tone and comes fully equipped with plenty of bells and whistles to push their sound to new heights. “Changing of the Seasons” embraced much more synthesizer elements which added Synthpop to their long list of genres and caused ears to perk up in anticipation for what’s to follow. So, going back to 2013 with the “Seasons EP,” when Two Door decided to try a new approach, it sparked plenty of attention. It’s hard to listen to an album that poorly reflects previous efforts because it just makes you want to listen to the better of the two. In 2013 they released an EP after a short hiatus entitled “Changing of the Seasons” which displayed a change of sound from the previous work “Beacon.” “Beacon” was in no way a “bad” album but it definitely felt like it could be “Tourists’” less successful brother.
Review Summary: Unlike previous efforts “Gameshow” exposes an electronic side of Two Door Cinema Club that they haven’t deeply explored before and although this might be the most “mainstream” they’ve ever sounded, they still manage to create a defining additiĪfter 3 years without any new music we’ve all been biting our nails in anticipation for something new to come out of the incredible Irish indie pop band Two Door Cinema Club.
