Entertainment WeeklyOct 10, 2012The sleek album from the Irish trio tempers its galloping pop gait with frontman Alex Trimble's Ben Gibbard-y confessionals. [7 Sep 2012, p.75]
-
Alternative PressOct 10, 2012Thankfully, there's enough variation in tempo, nuance and arrangements to stave off monotony. [Oct 2012, p.92]

Oct 30, 2012There are times when all you need is a stompy bass drum to underpin a killer melody, and that's exactly what makes Beacon tick; nothing's overworked or overcomplicated.
-
Oct 10, 2012There's nothing overtly bad about Beacon; it shows that Two Door Cinema Club still have a remarkable knack for winsome melodies and harmonies set to kinetic beats. It just doesn't have the spark that Tourist History had, even if it's a more accomplished album overall.

Oct 25, 2012A fun, punchy batch of 11 crisp tracks.
-
Oct 30, 2012With only one true standout track, a handful of fillers, and little innovation or progress, it reeks of diminishing returns from start to finish.
-
Oct 30, 2012Mostly everything is contrived and cliché, lifted from a stock collection of guitar rock and electro rock of the past ten years.

Aug 13, 2021Another great album by the band. Two Door Cinema Club really owns their sound, and it pays off in amazing tracks like "Next Year" and "Sun"
