5.0 out of 5 stars
Great record (applies to the whole album too), 24 Feb 2009
Clever lyrics, not deep or meaningful but just intelligently 'light'.
Great sound quality, I use this CD as a reference CD for how it's mixed
I don't know how they sound live but the sound on the record is tight, everything is played well enough without descending in virtuoso performance (it wouldn't make sense for a band like this).
The vocalist has a fantastic voice which she uses in a way that could be described as bordering between sexy and annoying whine, but I think it manages to stay on the sexy side - just about.
You could say that this band is not original and that they steal ideas from so many other bands; to me anytime you find that someone can be said to steal from 'everyone', that is the start of something very original.
People that don't get this band, well, they just don't get them; it says more about them that it says about the Ting Tings. It's useful to check the other reviews posted by users that dislike the Ting Tings so you get an idea of what sort of people you are getting advice from (I know that this is the only review I have posted so far).

Shut Up and listen!!, 26 Jul 2008
I reckon this is one of the better releases this week, not much else out, only dreary old Adele - enough to send you bonkers and the front cover to the single...blimey...she looks miserable as ever. On this Ting Tings CD single is a very, very good remix by Haji & Emanuel - just love it!
P.S. Just ignore any lunatics out there who dislike this band. I mean, they must be mad!!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Its finally dying, 8 Aug 2008
Its been a while since its release, alongside a few other pathetic excuses for music by the uncreative "Ting Tings" and as the sane people predicted, it is dying, FAST. It has proved to be a fad, pushed by uninspiring managers onto every advert, new documentary and television series available and tarnished them as one show wonders. But onto the sound, which is just plain awful, one can't possibly sit through the song let alone a verse without saying "What is this crap?!" shortly followed by "Why am i listening to this crap?!' then the changing of channel. The vocalist appears as a person commonly referred to as a "MySpace Fag", but none the less deserves a chance, and blew it. Her vocals are poorly done and are hardly singing, but this isn't the rubbish singing similar to the streets or Kate Nash, no, this "singing" is more ranting, whining teenage adolescent, hormone driven pap that needs to be abolished from our radio stations and televisions. As soon as they're gone, we'll be able to look back and laugh at this lame effort for fame, and what's better, is that the sane people who always saw this band for what it is (garbage) will laugh extra hard at the people who actually purchased their music. And as if the vocals weren't enough to put you off this monstrosity, listen to the simple, unoriginal, bland excuse for a guitar tab, SHE IS USELESS AT GUITAR.. and don't even get me started on the drummer. Avoid this.. this.. it is so hard NOT to swear recalling this single... .. this smeg
