It seems to be another British invansion. Although not as commericaially succesful as such acts like The Beatles. This new wave of British artist's (such as Natasha Bedingfield, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, M.I.A., Estelle...) seem to be taking North America by storm. The Ting Tings are probably most well known to the mainstream artist for that new Ipod commerical. Their debut shows off their nack for catchy pop rock tracks that will be stuck in your head for months. Some tracks do it better than others although the album as a whole is a good effort. (Best Tracks: Great DJ, That's Not My Name and Shut Up And Let Me Go)
Rating: Lyrics: 29/40 (They are all catchy and bright pop rock)
Tunefulness: 37/50 (The lead singer has a bright voice and the the two seem to work well together)
Originality: 5/10 (It's bright and poppy yet they seem to manage to put in some creativity)
Overall: 71/100 (It's a good record if you are curious give it a listen)
