“Sucker” is a slower, more melancholy song. This is my favorite song on the album because it doesn’t feel forced – all parts of the song come together perfectly and naturally. PRAISE! We are back to the old 2DCC we all know and love! The vocals go well with the beautifully haunting lyrics, which hint at regrets and redemptions. Though catchy, it fails to impress enough to meet the standards of previous 2DCC songs. Meaning “I come from there” in French, this song includes features of all the previous songs as a culmination of the album’s basic sound. The pre-chorus and bridge are where the lyrics, vocals, and instruments are truly able to shine through. I didn’t mind this fourth, maybe fifth, occurrence of the falsetto voice because it seems to be balanced well by a normal tone. “Good Morning” has one of the strongest lyrics on this album, with the first and second verse especially standing out. This pump-up number provides great variety in tone, and the guitar is, as usual, amazing. The guitar work in this song echoes typical 2DCC magic. The chorus is especially strong, but the lyrics are by far the strongest in the first verse. It’s too preppy!Ī classic retrospective tract, “Invincible,” is the perfect mellow song to sing along to in the car. At this point, the repetitiveness of the album sets in, and you start to miss the old 2DCC. The falsetto voice makes its reappearance in this third disco tune. The lyrics hold promise of an almost meditative experience, but the execution does not do them justice. This title track has the most opinionated, and therefore most genuine, lyrics.ĭefinitely a catchy song, but neither the voice nor the instruments holds enough weight to differentiate it from any other song on the radio. Unabashedly dark, this song is a commentary on the price that comes with trying to fit in. The amazing guitar is the best aspect of this anthem-like song. Although not awful, “Ordinary” is easily forgettable. The lyrics deal with topics such as escapism and fitting in. Similar to “Bad Decisions,” the catchy synth drives the song forward. Despite the serious message, this song is definitely one to disco to! The lyrics continue the critique of today’s mindless, social media-driven information generation. One of the most surprising tracks on the album, “Bad Decisions” is reminiscent of typical 80’s hits, complete with the falsetto singing. Lyrically bold, this song expresses the problems with modern day materialism. It’s snappy, upbeat, and very guitar-driven.
This first track is an ode to classic Two Door Cinema Club sounds. This time around, 2DCC has changed up their entire game, going from indie to 80s dance music. Fans of previous albums may already associate the band with classic alternative rock sounds – a special twist that gives chills to any listener.
After a four-year hiatus, Two Door Cinema Club (2DCC) is back with their latest album, Gameshow.
