  1. 8.0 |   The Music

    The indie-pop dreamboats drop banger after banger, with eclectic guitar riffs and the kind of upbeat drumming that makes you want to grind and skip at the same time

  2. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    It’s Two Door Cinema Club version 2.0 – and it couldn’t sound funkier

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    By overtly embracing radio pop, ‘Gameshow’ adds further froth to the wave of popified guitar music that TDCC triggered by giving rise to Bastille and The 1975

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

  12. 4.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Once you get past the falsetto and the all-encompassing synths, this is the same band, with the same failings, that have pitched their tent in exactly the same spot as last time around - smack bang in the middle of the road
