“Surgery” is another song that shows Two Door Cinema Club extending beyond anything they’ve ever done before. The song shows off the diverse talents of the band including heavy bass, rhythmic guitar and lead singer, Alex Trimble, flaunting the serious talent that lies within his upper register. “Fever” opens with a smooth guitar riff before slamming into the epitome of 80’s disco sounds. While Two Door Cinema Club has moved on from the adrenaline pumping hits on their past albums, the band has settled for a groovy two-step within Gameshow. A personal favorite on the album, “Ordinary”, opens with a shimmery instrumental that seems straight out of the dream sequence in a Stanley Kubrick movie. The decision to open the album with the hit single “Are We Ready? (Train Wreck)” was a smart move, setting out the mood for the remainder of the album and hyping listeners up for what is to come. Taking clear inspiration from the spandex infused synthesized sounds of the 1980’s, Two Door Cinema Club listeners were left begging for more. After nearly killing each other and withstanding a momentary break up, the band is back together to deliver listeners with a new sound. An imperative turn however, after the band produced two wildly fantastic yet similar albums with Tourist History and Beacon. Gameshow is Two Door Cinema Club’s third studio album and a wide left turn from any of their previous work.
