Everett T. Ruth builds his beats on bass drum kicks, electric guitar riffs, layered synths, and a trademark falsetto voice doubling—think Two Door Cinema Club vocals. Lead off track, “U Should Know” delivers high-energy pop/rock, though the constant echo of vocals singing “You should know” at the forefront of this song, paired with the invariable tone has this writer losing the raison d’être of the music. “Superstar” follows the same repetitious design, though “Country Livin’” strays from the pop in lieu of a welcome funk. We sense Ruth’s passion for his projects, though if he diverged and focused on evolution rather than relying on reiteration, his tracks could really groove.
