    We Started Nothing comes packed with a peppy parade of songs likewise steeped in electro beats and chant-along vocals.

    De Martino and White are on an unashamed mission to make perfect pop, but seem to have treaded the path too literally.

    Maybe once the Ting Tings stop trying so hard to convince everyone they're having a good time and start actually having a good time, these cute little ballads will no longer be their sole redeeming quality.

    Really great, fun, with an incredible production...It's probably the only truly pop album I've listened to this year, and I simply loved it since the very first time I gave it a spin...there's something about this duo that makes them really special, it might sound subjective, but I'd say it's charisma. Anyway, get this one ASAP, but be careful, it won't leave your stereo as soon as you might think.… Expand

    Not worth all the hype the British music press heaped upon them. Just stock standard pop music nothing more nothing less.

    I was expecting chanting anthemic thats not my name-esque bangers all the way through. Instead I got an album that disintegrated quicker than sugar in tea. Absolute DRIVEL.… Expand
