There have been plenty of albums released in the first half of 2010, but none have had the immediate replay ability of Two Door Cinema Club’s debut, “Tourist History.” Two Door Cinema Club is a three-piece out of Ireland whose reputation is skyrocketing — largely due to their natural ability to pen catchy songs that listeners can’t get out of their heads.

They have a young energy about them that borrows from the early greatness of acts like Bloc Party, Tokyo Police Club and The Futureheads. With the album opener “Cigarettes in the Theatre,” you are immediately introduced to what Two Door Cinema Club is all about — grand guitar riffs, catchy hooks, smooth bass lines and fun.

There is no such thing as filler on “Tourist History” — it’s the type of album where every song is someone’s favorite. One minute you may be addicted to the fun wordplay on “Something Good Can Work” and then, you get to the thunderous anthem ready “I Can Talk,” and you can’t believe that the band somehow finds ground to sound bigger and bolder than they already have.

The biggest moment on the album is “What You Know,” which instantly grabs you with a tight angular guitar riff and edgy bass line. Be prepared to randomly break out singing its chorus after listening to it enough — it is truly that addictive.

Two Door Cinema Club has the potential for optimum crossover onto all different platforms. The album is a strong, complete piece of work that has not been ignored by music fans on the Internet. Songs have been eaten alive on webites such as The Hype Machine, where there are hundreds of various remixes of their songs.

“Tourist History” is the type of album that you can play while walking to class or while partying with your friends. You will want to blast it when you’re in a good mood and will find it a necessary remedy when you’re in a bad one. It is perfect no matter what. So many bands out there are trying so hard to be different and eccentric that they fail to capture listeners. With Two Door Cinema Club, the band is having fun making music that it likes, and it truly shows. The songs roll out naturally, sounding fresh, clean and upbeat. There is nothing forced here and there are no elements of pretentiousness. For once, it is all about the music.

Truth be told, Two Door Cinema Club has the skills to be one of the biggest bands around. “Tourist History” is yet to be released in the United States, yet the band has sold out New York City’s Bowery Ballroom. Slowly but surely, the band’s fan base is growing. It’s only a matter of time until Two Door Cinema Club explodes onto bigger and better things, and it will be an absolute pleasure to watch their journey.
