Aided by a chorus of children's vocals, 'Are We Ready? (Wreck)' opens up the group's record with a declaration against the mindless nature of consumerist culture ('All the stores are bored with all your money/ We follow what's to come/ That's what they sold to me'). Alex Trimble, the band's vocalist, revealed that the word 'weltschmerz' — German for world-weariness — provided inspiration for that track. 'Bad Decisions,' the next song on the album, bemoans the impact of social media on younger generations ('Lately/ Think I've had enough/ Of generation information every station.' ) And nearing the end of the album, Trimble croons about his skepticism of organized religion throughout the poppy 'Good Morning' ('I won't depend on something supernatural/ I won't pretend it's gotta be right for me').

Yet aside from aspirational lyricism, none of that applies to the group's latest release. Hell, at times Gameshow doesn't even sound like Two Door Cinema Club at all.

Tiresome techno beats and retro synths are commonplace throughout the album, overshadowing the guitars that made up the backbone of the indie rock band's discography. Trimble ascends to his falsetto for a good portion of the record — an unimpressive imitation of the high-pitched singing style that dominated much of the 70's. The vocals aren't bad, but they're also fairly unremarkable. For an album that boasts such prophetic prose and drastic changes in musical style, it feels ridiculously dull and unoriginal. Nothing that Two Door Cinema Club had ever done before suggested its inclination toward this weird strain of funkpop, and yet here we are so deep in disco fever that I'm surprised the group's members didn't pose with bell bottom jeans and paisley shirts for the cover of Gameshow.

Luckily, a few tracks save the album from becoming a collection of dated songs you would expect to hear at Karaoke night in a bar filled with 50-somethings. 'Gameshow' starts out well with bouncing bass and swift strokes of guitar before it transitions into an explosion of a chorus that finds Trimble's vocals in mid-2000s pop punk territory.

'Bad Decisions' manages to overcome the irksome nature of Trimble's disco-esque vocalization with a rapturous guitar solo reminding the listener that, yes, you are indeed listening to Two Door Cinema Club, not a 70's cover band. And an absolute masterpiece of a chorus guaranteed to haunt your mind makes 'Ordinary' a strong contender for the best song on Gameshow ('Go ahead, just cover it up/ Let's pretend we're ordinary/ We could be in heaven/ But it's never enough/ It's mine'). But the album still falls well short of Two Door Cinema Club's potential.

The group's change in style is so random and so abrupt that it's hard to enjoy Gameshow. There's nothing wrong with switching up one's sound; after all, music would be boring if no band or artist ventured outside the comfortable confines of their first album's sonics. But to completely abandon what gained you fame in the first place is honestly confusing and deflating for fans. That's exactly why Gameshow is Two Door Cinema Club's worst album by far — it ventures so deep into uncharted musical territory for the group that it becomes a record lost in search of a sound that isn't bland or overdone.

Eat That Up It's Good For You 10. You're Not Stubborn Review www.musicomh.com: So, as it turns out, the BBC's Sound Of 2010 is much as the same as the Sound of 2009. We have quirky female songstresses, electropop types, grime MCs and angular indie merchants. It's this latter category that Belfast's Two Door Cinema Club, who were named on the longlist of Sound of 2010 but who failed to make the top 5, fall into. And if you're wondering whether the world really needs another Foals and Bloc Party hybrid, you'd be forgiven.

Except that Two Door Cinema Club are a much better prospect than the generic indie guitar trio that they appear at first glance to be. Their songs are instantly likeable and catchy, they sound genuinely exciting at times and already seem like pop stars in waiting. They don't sound particularly original or revolutionary, but at least they're not pretending to be. And when they produce songs as accomplished and confident as I Can Talk or Something Good Can Work, it's impossible not to fall under their spell. The latter, one of their earliest singles, is one of the best tracks here, with shades of Vampire Weekend in the guitar riff and an addictively feelgood, uplifting chorus. I Can Talk, another single, is similarly terrific - even if the intro is seemingly lifted from Futureheads' Hounds Of Love and the whole tune sounds very reminiscent of Foals' Hummer.

There's a confidence and swagger that's very pleasing - every so often, a track will burst into life. Take Undercover Martyn for instance, which after charming with slinky verses and a bemusing yet endearing chorus of 'to the basement, people!' Suddenly explodes into guitar-fueled colour to genuinely thrilling effect. There are some slow burners too, such as Do You Want It All, in which Alex Trimble's affecting falsetto sings a naggingly hypnotic chorus, before transforming into a coda which should have indie discos across the country packing the dancefloors. The fantastically titled Eat That Up It's Good For You meanwhile successfully melds eerie electronica with some African influenced guitar licks. If there's a problem that Two Door Cinema Club may experience, it'll be being pigeonholed with other bands such as Delphic (even though there's far more of a guitar influence here than with their Mancunian contemporaries).

Then there's moments like Come Back Home which sound almost too like White Lies for comfort, but which is shot through with so much energy and confidence that it's hard not to sing along with. Overall, this is a fine debut album that does exactly what it says on the tin. While they won't win any points for innovation, Two Door Cinema Club are going to find their way into a lot of people's hearts during 2010. - John Murphy.
