Ah The Ting Tings, from humble beginnings a year ago to super-stardom today. The Ting Tings, winners before they knew it themselves, 7 months ago the BBC named them number three in the new Sound of 2008, only to Adele(number one single and album), and Duffy(also number one single and album). It was almost ineveitable to say that the Ting Tings were next in line, as the BBC havent been wrong in previous years, Arctic Monkeys and The Feeling to name a few. The Ting Tings album is a surpisingly good album, despite the odd hiccup in places.
The album is no doubt full of radio friendly single chart toppers, which is both a good and bad thing, and lets not get carried away, the album has many flaws as it rolls onto the last few songs of the album. But lets start with good points. The band have said that they are going to reinvent the pop genre, and they certainly going a different ring to it. MOAR »

Now a little thing that sometimes must be taken into account when it comes to greatest hits albums is taste. Sometimes the artist or band might decide their favourite song over their most popular, or perhaps the problem is that the singles on the album were released in some countries but not others. The latter is the case with Queen’s Greatest hits album, as it has no universal track listing or even universal cover art, due to the fact that it was released three times. First there was the 1981 U.K release, then the 1981 U.S edition, which was followed 11 years later by the 1992 U.S edition. But I am going to deal with the first release of the album, the 1981 U.K edition. MOAR »
