  1. Two Door Cinema Club show sporadic flashes of greatness and have an overall standard of songwriting which places them among the better new bands in the UK.
  2. There are some fiendishly catchy hooks and very occasionally a real quality to some of the songwriting, enough to suggest that there are better things to come from the young trio once simply aping the already done-to-death genre du jour has finally lost its appeal.
  3. Uncut

    Their debut is a good deal more engaging thgan any number of Bloc Party or Daeth Cab For Cutie comparisons might imply, however apt. [Mar 2010, p.88]
  4. Q Magazine

    Though not without charm. thier debut rarely yields anything distinctive. [Apr 2010, p.120]
  5. Under The Radar

    Tourist History is heavy on big vocal melodies, jumpy guitar attack, and over all jubilance. [Spring 2010, p.66]
  6. While invention may not be a going concern, Two Door Cinema Club have proven on their maiden voyage that they jolly well know how to sway a crowd with infective pop gems and seemingly little sweat.

    What more could you want? Hooky riffs and exciting melodies. You can dance your way through the entire album.

    A lack of lyrical depth and variation in songwriting does not take too much away from some infectious guitar hooks, irresistible vocal hooksA lack of lyrical depth and variation in songwriting does not take too much away from some infectious guitar hooks, irresistible vocal hooks and some really tight indie-pop tracks that roll off the tongue after just a handful of listens. One of the better debuts of 2010, that's for sure. Full Review »
