The synthesizers provide the album with vast instrumental and vocal experimentation, which at times is successful. This electronic style is maintained throughout the whole album, with many songs featuring an ‘80s-style, funk-synth production. The tone of this song is futuristic and slightly eerie, the intensity fading in and out frequently. The consistent tone for the rest of the album is set with the first track “Messenger AD (Intro),” a fully instrumental song that follows a more electronic sound, reminiscent of bands such as ODESZA. However, with lyrics such as “And you get older / But it’s only for a short time,” the track is overly abstract and lacks a clear direction. The closest the album gets to incorporating other moods or styles outside of dance-punk is with “High.” Set to a much slower tempo with quieter instrumentals and more intimate vocals, the seventh track roots itself in themes such as passing time and resilience. At the same time, the upbeat tempo featured in all but two of the album’s tracks makes them hard to differentiate from one another. One reason for this lack of clarity is that the lyrics are all over the place with meaningful phrases randomly interspersed, failing to take a firm stance on any matter. Furthermore, the album’s message beyond accepting others and holding out hope for the future is unclear. While the joyful tone running throughout the album certainly evokes positive emotions, this feeling is dragged out and seems like an easy escape from delving beyond superficial lyrics of cliche euphemisms. Alongside a melodic electric guitar sequence, “Lucky” features a particularly memorable chorus with easygoing, harmonious lyrics. This mood is conveyed successfully in the album’s promotional singles, “Lucky” and “Wonderful Life.” Both tracks lyrically center on shifting mindsets and ultimately looking toward the more positive aspects of life.

The 12-track album is uplifting both lyrically and instrumentally, as most tracks feel tailored to driving with the windows down on a hot summer’s day. However, it lacks emotional clarity and depth due to overly experimental clashing instrumentals and vague lyrics. Using fast-paced drum and electronic beats as well as encouraging lyrics, Two Door Cinema Club sonically delivers a narrative of carefree joy. With the release of their fifth album “Keep On Smiling,” the three-member band deviates from their more well-known alternative rock style to that of dance-punk, as exemplified by techno-funk instrumentals. Two Door Cinema Club kicked down the door of musical renovation when they probably should have left well enough alone.
