BradleyMJun 10, 2008A breath of fresh air in the somewhat stale halls of indie pop misic. Catchy, fun and memorable

Jan 26, 2021It's a great effort from Ting Tings. Sad that they didn't follow the same achivement on the following works.

JuliaA.Jun 24, 2008Not really original (We Walk somehow reminds me of Franz Ferdinand's Take Me out), but still fun to be heard. Maybe Katie got her voice slightly off on some tracks (like Keep Your Head and Be The One), but still this is an album you don't really feel guilty when decided to buy or try to give a spin.

JoeHSep 23, 2008A good album let down bya couple of tracks. Odd that no one else can hear a little pixies, breeders in there. Must just be me

zachp.Aug 14, 2008This record is one of the most fun pop debuts in years. no, not every song is great. but it's so refreshing to hear a band not take themselves seriously. keep your head; shut up and let me go; that's not my name.

Feb 16, 2011We Started Nothing is a catchy pop album with endless chants and crazy beats. When you listen to it, it somehow talks no sense because the tracks' meaning are actually covered up by the duo's vocal and instrumental performances. The album is fresh and fun but some ridiculously catchy and good.

May 31, 2012An album with good quality and poppy feel. Whilst a bit more ballad would seem to some as being neccessary for a band of this type, the slight rock edge not only make the songs more interesting but show off the up beat nature of the duo. Some songs don't live up to the standard set by the album, but overall is a delight.
Awards & Rankings
-
We Started Nothing sounds exuberant and chiefly concerned with pleasing itself. Which--as is always the way--only makes it more pleasing to others.
-
These glimpses of something unexpected are few and far between, much of We Started Nothing tonally muddled into a weird new form of MOR: cool for five minutes amongst the fashionable crowd but unlikely to reach audiences beyond those fascinated with the hot and happening.

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