    This a good album no doubt with some really great songs, however, it is not as a whole a stellar album. While it seems it is of a similar quality, the variety seems to be lacking in this album, especially when compared to its predecessor "We Started Nothing"

    Last year's great fun rock band is suddenly Tears For Fears- meets- Men Without Hats, with what sounds like Abba's Agnetha trying to be Terri Nunn, at least on the first track. The drums are more mechanical, the rock drowned in pop. Things loosen up for a couple tracks only to pucker back up again. The most jarring thing is how many of these tracks are easily forgettable.

    Unfortunately it's largely downhill from here [after opener "Silence"].

    Maybe the Ting Tings have pulled some sort of Lou Reed maneuver here. Maybe this is their Lulu.

    They sound more and more as if they've found a sound that they can all their own. [Apr 2012, p.94]
