The verses, whilst not amazing, don't burn out as they build into the chorus with plenty of energy, making for a track that rarely has a dull moment. The percussion along with the strumming guitars and disco-synths create a far more interesting instrumental. The second half of the album opens on a great note, with Fever going all-in with the 80's disco vibe of the album. There's probably some meaning to it, but for the most part, it sounds pretty bland and pretentious. Whilst these verses are pretty interesting, the chorus isn't all that great, and the lyricism gets unbearable at times, especially on the chorus with "And if I sleep tonight, Lavender immediately peaked my interest with its very minimal, digital beat, along with an unusual vocal sound. Even the bridge is interesting, stripping back most of the instrumentation, leading to a genuinely exciting buildup into the final chorus. The verses are fairly interesting, but the chorus is actually pretty catchy, and Alex Trimble actually sounds alive for once with his vocal performance, opting for a looser delivery rather than his typical falsetto or lacklustre, accent-heavy delivery featured on many Two Door Cinema Club hits. Gameshow features some more interesting guitarwork, with some lovely, thick tones for once, accompanied by a wonderfully buzzy synth during the chorus, which is by far the best on the album. Fortunately, things take a turn for the greater with the title track, bringing far more energy and rawness to the album. I respect that the verses here are far more interesting than on Bad Decisions, but it still falls a bit short of the mark to be considered good. Nothing about it is atrocious, nor is anything particularly interesting. Ordinary continues the trend of unintentionally self-referential titles, and is simply alright. The bridge towards the end tries to salvage some freshness, but only makes the track sound even cornier than it did to begin with. The chorus is nowhere near as interesting as the opening track, and the verses are achingly dull, with next to no changes.
Funnily enough, this track is followed by Bad Decisions, which whilst solidifying the 80's style aesthetic of the album, is far less listenable as a track. Whilst this song isn't great, it's enjoyable enough as a pop tune, and I like the decisions they made here. One great thing about this song is the rhythm switch in the middle, which is something that I wouldn't typically expect from Two Door Cinema Club. To be fair, I prefer this style to the mess that was present on Beacon, and this seems to show them being aware of their strengths. This immediately brings back the sound of Tourist History, with more high toned, brittle guitars and sticking to a faster, more upbeat structure. Starting the album, we have lead single Are We Ready? (Wreck). Fortunately, this album shows them heading into a completely fresh territory, and is probably the best of their three albums. This led to me never truly enjoying a Two Door Cinema Club project as a whole, and only ever returning to a select few songs. Either every song was incredibly similar, like much of Tourist History, or that there was little to no structure as an album. However, upon listening to their albums as a whole, I noticed either one of two flaws.
Their singles were catchy and easy to listen to. For a fair amount of time, I enjoyed Two Door Cinema Club.
