Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The debut album by Salford's The Ting Tings comes hot on the heels of their No.1 single "That's Not My Name", a nugget of pop gold that comes on like a genetic splicing of Toni Basil's "Micky" and The Knack's "My Sharona". The bulk of We Started Nothing follows a similar formula, navigating a path between the smart, angular indie of CSS, Bonde Do Role, et al and the pop mainstream. Here and there, they pull it off perfectly: the stutter-rap of "Fruit Machine" sees vocalist Katie White leading on some poor sap with sultry charisma and lip-gloss sass, while the excellent "Shut Up and Let Me Go" is snappy dance-punk in the spirit of Blondie's "Rapture" or Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love". Elsewhere, they branch out with mixed results. "We Walk" builds from quiet flourishes of piano into a surprisingly steely manifesto: "Smash the rest up/Burn it down/Put us in the corner cause we're into ideas", sneers White. Rather less good is "Traffic Light", a light, jazzy number that employs a number of somewhat forced driving metaphors to describe a relationship hit the skids. Still, it's a debut with promise, and a string of good singles is nothing to be sniffed at. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - another annoying band for wannabe indie kids to rave aboutthe album was playing whilst i was in hmv i had to walk out the store it pissed me off so much and to be honest i dont care if people leave bad comments about this review because i will never value an opinion from the type of person who defends the ting tings Rating: - WHY?Why would you punish yourself by listening to any of this I almost thew my CD player against they wall to make this torture device stop instead I threw the CD I'd been bought...it woz one of the most satisfying moments ever. Don't buy this unless u hate yourself and are just to lazy for an interesting or painless suicide. Rating:  - Bringing Indie BackThe Ting Tings have sure made a good long career for them selves, Sometimes recemendations can be awfully wrong on amazon, like just because i bought Little Voice by Sara Bareilles dosen't mean i want to bye MGMT's album , anyway thankgod this one was recomended, i was not sureof them at first by dislikeing Great DJ, But Lovin' Thats Not My Name, i followed the recomendation and i was glad i got it, i later grew found of Great DJ, i realised this was the best indie album, (sorry), Best album id ever heard, i learnt about there style, i have every single of the album, Go Forthe and Bye Rating: - Example of overhyped crap!!!!Having had to endure this poor excuse for a band at Glastonbury, i thought i would give them a second go and borrowed my sisters cd, it is truely awful. I am not articulate or smart enough to do justice to how bad this album is. An album of cats screaming and children crying would of been more enjoyable. The band themselves seem to have been styled by the stylest from Skins, whom was having a bad day, or maybe the band upset her. But they look like every other idiot from St Martins, whom wants too "fit in". Waste your money if you must, but be aware that you are merely jumping on the hype and one catchy track. If you think that you will listen to this album more then once then you are deluded and deaf. Truely truely awful!!!!!! Rating: - Confused?Not sure if this is BAD? Well it IS. It is REALLY REALLY BAD! Confusion solved. ((This is the kind of album that 5 years from now you will be really embarrassed to have in your collection)) |
