Enjoyable pop October 7, 2008

Like others have said, this isn't normally my sort of thing. On a first listen the Ting Ting's turned my stomach. Then you hear a few of their songs a couple of times and annoyingly find that you're starting to like them. That's Not my Name is a classic pop tune that builds and adds layers as it goes on. Real foot tapping stuff.
I don't really know if I'm supposed to admit to liking it, so it's a bit of a guilty secret that you drop in to conversation with your friends and try to see if they like it before you admit that you do. I bet they've all got a copy at home though.
Ting Tings September 30, 2008
This is not usually my type of music its slightly too poppy for me but going on a recommendation from a friend i picked up a copy. I actually think its pretty good. A few tracks stand out but the rest are by no means weak. I'm reminded of peaches or the kills but with a more poppy side. They get an extra star from being from salford!
Interesting beats and bitchy, sometimes snarly vocals. Some tracks are very infectious.
 It's all about Fun September 28, 2008
Sometimes you want Beethoven, Bob Dylan, Beatles, and sometimes you just want the Ting Tings. This is just fun, poppy, feel-good, guilty pleasure music. It's not meant to make a deep statement, make you think, bowl you over with symbolic lyrics. But it sure is catchy. I can listen to these songs over and over again and have a great time every time.
Great job, Ting Tings. Mission accomplished: you've got me bopping my head up and down and I've got a smile from ear to ear.
A fun mix of dance and rock music September 13, 2008
I first heard of The Ting Tings in either Rolling Stone magazine or Spin magazine earlier this spring/summer. My curiousity was immediately aroused. I recently got a copy of the duo's first album WE STARTED NOTHING. I really don't care for the hot trend of dance/rock but I totally dug The Ting Tings' music. I will admit that Katie White has a very limited vocal range but it meshes well with the raw, minimalistic music. At times The Ting Tings' music reminded me of Devo and The Tom Tom Club. It is obvious the music was intended to be playful and fun because the silliness of the lyrics really speaks for the overall mood of the album. I think sometimes the silliness of the lyrics can be a bit much for me but for the most part I don't mind it. I really like the goofiness of "Traffic Light", my personal favorite song on the cd. I really like the playfulness of the melodies. I always keep playing this particular song over and over. The album is short but that's alright. I would rather have it too short than it be too long with boring songs. I look forward to hearing more from The Ting Tings.
I loved this album!!! September 6, 2008
Like most of the albums I have ever bought, "We Started Nothing" by the Ting Tings- was refreshingly different. I like the beats and the lyrics of all of the songs and the titles of the songs were very creative! I've already reccommended to my friends that they buy the cd.
