Rusko - “Everyday” / “Lick the Lizard” | Album review

unknown

It’s tough to match Rusko’s star power. The British expat is spending time in the studio with Britney, and his fan base just keeps growing. He continues his mainstream dubstep push here, for better and for worse. With soaring rave synths, video-game lasers and booming breaks, “Everyday” boasts “the sun is shining everyday,” and it’s poised to be this summer’s anthem. In contrast, “Lick the Lizard” works an electro-funk rhythm and a tired buzz-saw bass line, and adds a context-less vocal snippet about “spanking the monkey.” Beavis and Butt-head would love it; so will aggro brostep fans. They can keep it.
