Music : We Started Nothingby: The Ting Tings
Disc 1:
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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Crap - THAT IS YOUR NAME !THE WORST POP/PUNK/ROCK ..WHATERVER! BAND IN THE WORLD! please people grow up and listen to some AC/DC ! Most of all VERY ANNOYING ! id rather listen to an entire CD of a toilet being flushed than this garbage ! Rating: - Who the hell gave these idiots a record deal? Utter rubbish!This has to be one of the worst groups I've ever heard. The woman 'singer' cannot even sing, the songs that I have heard are extremely poor and not even catchy. A feeble attempt at being 'punk' and trying to sound like that one hit wonder from the 80s - Mickey. The punk world will no doubt feel insulted and embarrassed by this group and the woman who sang Mickey (Toni Basil) at least sounded like she could sing a few notes! There is nothing good to say about this group or any of ...

For me, they are a bit 'candy pop' but it's a great compromise when arguing with my 8 year old daughter about what music is going on the CD player. It's worth it just to catch her doing air guitar and miming the words....very badly! A fun Album. Rating: - FunI can't believe I bought this. When I first heard the Ting Ting's I thought they were dreadful. It sounded like really naff cheesy pop. And it is, but it's also very catchy and I have to admit I like it. The more I hear it the more it grows on me. It's not cool to like it, but that doesn't mean it's not okay to like it. It's just probably best not to admit it to people when you first meet them. That's Not My Name is probably the best pop tune of the year for me. Browse for similar items by category:
