Sep 9, 2022There's certainly a hooky immediacy to much of Keep on Smiling, but it's given depth by Two Door Cinema Club's increasingly artful and sardonic pop approach.
-
Sep 2, 2022Punchy, peppy, and undeniably positive, ‘Keep On Smiling’ is an exuberant and life-affirming ambitious album that demonstrates that if in doubt, you have to choose happiness.
-
Sep 2, 2022Though impressive and vaguely explorative, the record falls slightly short of the mark for an outfit aiming to reinvent themselves.
-
Sep 2, 2022If Two Door are to hold onto anything from ‘Keep On Smiling’, it should be the playful, curious moments that convey a sense of fun, even if that’s deceptive. When things get serious on this record, the band stumble and the smiles begin to slip.
-
Sep 6, 2022Its wares pick up where its predecessor left off but without adding too much extra to the mix.
-
Sep 2, 2022Keep On Smiling’s glossy veneer never disguises its particle-board center.
-
Sep 2, 2022Throughout, the arrangements are as relentlessly upbeat and playfully retro as the album’s Alan Fears-designed artwork, stuffed with vocoders, peacocking basslines and laser-beam synth sounds. They’re also wildly referential, and largely fail to add anything either fresh or memorable to the conversation.

Dec 29, 2022I really, really like it. Wonderful Life, Millionaire and Lucky are absolute bangers!

Sep 20, 2022Meh. La mayoría de canciones son aburridas, con sintetizadores chillones, muchas capas y ritmos muy familiares
