The Tings Tings have got a dancefloor classic on their hands. 'That's Not My Name' is a tune, and the best line is "...they call me STAC-EEE". The Pigeon Detectives 'Emergency' single was also a tune, so let's expect the same from the rushed album. Should do as well as 'Wait For Me'. Good luck to both bands.

Wo 'In Silico' is no way old skool Pendulum. The album has structure and overall sounds like a 'traditional' bands album theres vocals a plenty and a lot less hardcore drum 'n' bass that Pendulum is known for. It still sounds great, just might leave a few long term Pendulum fans a bit flustered.
