Wisdom from the Internet says that the people who hate Turnstile the most are Turnstile fans. Unlike a lot of “truths” that are only too easily available online, this one is most certainly true! Apart from a few who have fallen out of love with this Baltimore outfit (like the ones who knew and adored this group before anyone else did), it is literally impossible not to love (or at least appreciate) this band for one reason or another: their punchy hardcore music, their ambition to explore new ideas while still maintaining their hardcore spirit, and them fearlessly acting upon this ambition and being exceedingly good at it.
On Never Enough, Turnstile have done it again, showing why they should be loved so much, as they have done on the previous two records. Never Enough appears to be a natural successor to the previous release Glow On, with the synth-driven lushness dialed up even more here. Most of the songs shift between full on hardcore punk and dense synth parts, and the band melds these ideas from very different musical worlds fabulously well. 
Now, these musical excursions away from Turnstile’s core sound on the previous two records assumed unconventional forms. On Time & Space, these were unpredictable and had a sense of humor, adding lightness to the intense music. On Glow On, these took a dreamy psychedelic turn, which was an eccentric departure from Time & Space. But on Never Enough, with the continuation of what Turnstile had started on Glow On, the dreaminess has gotten more polished and the eccentricity and the humour have been all but stripped away. There are transcendental flute sections conjuring some sort of mystical powers, contemplative synth parts that go on for far too long, and even a poignant dialogue from the HBO show The Wire incorporated among lush heartfelt music, completely killing the element of surprise and absurdity. This seriousness brings a sense of self-consciousness that the band has never had before. And combined with their very deliberate anti-punk move towards the mediocrity of melodic rock, Turnstile have started to resemble the cloying aspects of styles like post-grunge, diluting their sense of uniqueness.
There is nothing that Turnstile could have done differently on Never Enough. It will be interesting though to see what comes next. Turnstile might soften their music even more and turn into another one of those mushy characterless hard rock acts, as they can only continue on this current path so far before they become uninteresting. But Brendan Yates and gang are way too intelligent to succumb to banality without putting on a fight. So there’s a good chance that they will pleasantly surprise us in their next release, given that they will strive on the path of the wise and do what it takes to be relevant.
Never Enough is the least exciting among Turnstile’s last three commercially successful releases. Although it maintains the group’s tendency of keeping things interesting, it does so without breaking new ground. However, the fate of this record will ultimately be decided by what follows next. In all likelihood, Never Enough will be talked about in Turnstile’s history as the turning point from whence they either started their descent, or transformed yet again, maintaining their ascent, proving to the world why people love them so much.
