It was one of two songs, opening their third album, which were written and released before the release of it, so these two became the headlining promoters of the upcoming thing.

This song was released in 2016, but did not manage to reach highs – the maximum was the 39th position of the Billboards’ alternative list in 2016. The song is absolutely it – afar from conventional pop, avant-garde item, filled with high-pitched notes of the singer’s voice, whose idol was currently deceased show biz people Prince and David Bowie – who, according to the soloist, were pioneers in what they did, went at new trails, creating them and were totally weltschmertz. According to the words of the band members, this German word is destined to describe a person, who lives absolutely not in line with the main mass of the people in the society, can’t understand them, can’t normally stick to their interests and there are no mutual understanding between these two. The weltschmertz is the best word to describe the essence of the particular song. The chorus is perhaps the only saving grace of ‘Bad Decisions’ – although it’s far from amazing, it’s certainly better than whatever they’re attempting with the rest of the song. The whole package feels lazy and uninspiring, displaying a real step in the wrong direction from a once-promising young band gearing up for Gameshow, its third record, in October – a bad decision indeed.Indie rock, offered by this band Two Door Cinema Club fits pretty much this movie. The guitar solo over the bridge is completely out of place as well, which will throw you off the scent of just what this bizarre attempt at generic popular music is. I’m not quite sure what Two Door Cinema Club is trying to achieve here – ‘Bad Decisions’ is neither dance music, nor is it indie rock.

Its accompanying instrumentation suffers from some serious overproduction, flaunting unrecognisable guitar sounds, simplistically bland drums that sound fresh from a MIDI keyboard, and some boring, generic synths and keys thrown in for good measure. The vocals are painful through their insufferable high pitch, which is not likable in the way pulled off by singers like Foals’ Yannis Philippakis.

On paper, it sounds like this could and should work, however it really doesn’t. It’s a shame that ‘Bad Decisions’ features a near-total departure from the rock aspect of Northern Irish indie trio Two Door Cinema Club’s music, arriving at some kind of Daft Punk-esque dance-pop sound.
