Gallagher Rose Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I've watched their videos recently, the lead singer acts like Debbie Harry meeting Avril Lavigne and it sounds and looks artificial sometimes.Anyway, I like the "Shut up and Let Me Go" video and tune, it's pretty decent. Are they good or crap like Paramore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 They're okay. I'm getting a bit tired of them because we have to play the album at work, but the songs are pretty damn catchy - especially "That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up and Let Me Go." Grating, but catchy.

Rick Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I quite like them, not sure how they've sold out because that's what they've always done. Surely the term 'sell out' means to move away from your routes to become more commericial, or to advertise something purely for the money etc etc - that's a debate for another day/thread.Catchy tunes, festival crowds loved them over the summer.R.

Shuffle Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I've only seen/heard one or two songs and they are pretty much crap... I just don't like it. But the singer is pretty hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projected Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Not My Name is awful. How can anybody listen to it for more then one verse is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SofaKingWhat Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Maybe I'm not the only one but I tend to like bands that have talented musicians and are of legendary status or play fucking good rock music.Quite fankly there are far far too many "filler" bands around. Seems like any band can get a spot at a festival but all they do is pad out the day before the big acts come on.Even getting signed isn't as big as it used to be. People remember Woodstock for Hendrix and the atmosphere. Most of the festival line up was fucking garbage. Not much has a changed. Will The Tings Tings be remembered in 5 or 10 years time?

Are they good or crap like Paramore?crap like Paramore? they're nothing like Paramore... but I like Paramore. XDI think they're okay, and I like "Shut Up and Let Me Go" too. the video reminds me of Seven Nation Army. :xmasssanta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Not bad. I like Great DJ.Apparently their previous label asked the singer to strip off for the album's front cover. That's the reason they left the label. It would have been epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I think the singer is pretty and those aviators are classic but i'm not a fan, although i've only heard that's not my name and shut up and let me go because they probably featured in a tv show or advert.

Black Monk Time Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 I like them. Most of their singles so far have been decent and really catchy, but the rest of the album is mostly repetitive, bland filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
