The drums are full, heavy and compliment the bassline brilliantly, the clean stoccatoed guitar will make the millennial alternative and mod-rock listener have a sound-gasm and the synth that rings in your right ear throughout the chorus will make you forget the awful effects that follow on in the guitar solo directly after. The overall production on this song is something that will have Rick Rubin coming up with new ways that he can re-energize his career. With the release of their latest track Bad Decision which is part of their latest studio album Gameshow, the video seems to take up most of the songs duties and appears like it is all about the visual concept, rather than taking a production initiative and focusing on what makes a song important. Kanye, and Two Door Cinema club relinquishes no exception to this concept. The landscape seems to have shifted with how the latest visuals of the band is expressing the sound of the band and not the actual music, i.e.
BAD DECISIONS 2 DOOR CINEMA CLUB DOWNLOAD
“Gameshow” is now available to download and stream via Spotify, Apple Music and Google Play Music.All music these days somehow maintains it’s own personal image, with Punk-Pop rocking the tight jean converse look, Hardcore still sticking with the make up and knee high lace up boots and pop just being stupid. No other electropop/indie rock band manages to generate such a mixed range of emotions from its music. This method of production, along with the increased depth of the band’s music, separates not only “Gameshow” from its predecessors, but also Two Door Cinema Club from its competitors. Trimble’s voice now takes the back seat to the prevalent beats and synthesis particularly noticeable in “Ordinary,” “Surgery” and “Good Morning.” The effect, reminiscent of Prince’s style of dance as a complement to his music, encourages the listener to “feel” the music. Portions of this mastering process that Two Door Cinema Club has achieved with “Gameshow” are evident in the minor changes within the production of each song. The title songs “Gameshow” and “Bad Decisions” both resemble the highly danceable songs of the band’s past recordings, and for that reason are sure to achieve the same, if not greater, amount of success as their predecessors.
It is not to say that there are no songs in “Gameshow” that identify with the indie-rock and electropop mixtures that are familiar in the band’s previous albums. The productions of Two Door Cinema Club’s past albums did not carry such depth. In a sense, it is evident that the band has matured in its song writing.įor those that are familiar with the heist film “The Italian Job,” the scene in which the characters have finally completed the heist and must go their separate ways, pockets stuffed with cash, would be perfectly covered by the current album’s weightier songs like “Fever” or “Invincible.” The sense of opportunity in these respective songs is impressive, for pieces with such critical lyrics and regretful undertones are seldom positive and opportunistic in their overtones. While some content within “Gameshow” is true to the band’s roots, such as “Are We Ready? (Wreck)” featured in “FIFA 17” for its recognizable upbeat tone, the headliners carry more weight than those of Two Door Cinema Club’s previous albums. “I Can Talk,” for example, is featured in the soundtrack of the popular soccer video game “FIFA.” The celebration of the occasion is complemented by the upbeat foreshadowing of the song. The headliners, “Beacon” and “Tourist History,” emanate a sense of occasion. Inspiration from the likes of David Bowie and Prince drove the tone of “Gameshow” to adhere to an 80’s nostalgia-themed movement. In order to retain current fans while simultaneously attracting a new audience, members Alex Trimble (lead vocalist), Kevin Baird (bass) and Sam Halliday (lead guitar) needed to produce a set list that retained the danceable, electropop attributes of the first two albums while venturing into new territory. “What You Know” and “Undercover Martyn” stood out as some of the most popular electropop/dance songs during their respective releases. While their first two releases found success in the increasingly competitive indie-rock scene, “Beacon” and “Tourist History” differ very little in terms of musical content, although this is not a bad thing. Two Door Cinema Club’s third album, “Gameshow,” represents the proving ground for the relatively young band.
