Never Enough (stylised in all caps) is the fourth studio album by American rock band Turnstile, released via Roadrunner Records on June 6, 2025.[2] It is their first album without founding member Brady Ebert following his 2022 departure,[3] and their first to feature guitarist Meg Mills.[a] Ahead of the official release, on May 12, 2025 the band performed a free show in their hometown of Baltimore raising money for Healthcare for the Homeless.[4] The album received critical acclaim and became the band's highest-charting album to date in several countries. The album won Best Rock Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, and the single "Birds" won the award for Best Metal Performance

Promotion

Never Enough was initially promoted through a billboard on Sunset Boulevard in March 2025, teasing a release date of June 6 the same year and confirming Mills as an official member.[5] On April 8, 2025, Turnstile released the lead single from the album, "Never Enough", along with a music video directed by band members Brendan Yates and Pat McCrory.[6] On April 30, the band released a dual single, "Seein' Stars" / "Birds", with a music video also directed by Yates and McCrory.[7]

Never Enough is accompanied by a visual album, which premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Festival and in theaters June 5, 2025. The trailer was released on May 7, 2025.[8] In support of the album, the band embarked on the Never Enough Tour in Europe and North America from September 15 to October 19, 2025.[9][10]

Never Enough received a score of 83 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 19 critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[12] Kerrang!'s Luke Morton described the album as "cinematic in its scope and execution". He emphasizes the band's fearless experimentation, noting that "Never Enough is best digested whole, immersing oneself in the singular vision of a band who create without barriers or predetermined convention."[16] The Guardian's Alexis Petridis highlighted its genre-defying approach: "There's so much else happening, a profusion of ideas so deftly handled that it never feels sprawling or indulgent." Petridis notes the band's seamless integration of diverse elements, from flute solos by Shabaka Hutchings to collaborations with artists like Dev Hynes and Hayley Williams, stating that "Turnstile effectively balances bold innovation with conciseness, reflecting their hardcore heritage while expanding their musical footprint."[15] Pitchfork's Nina Corcoran drew parallels to 1980s nostalgia, stating that tracks like "Light Design" merge Turnstile's rhythms with "The Police's pedalboards and cool-toned synths," and that "I Care" features drumrolls and gated reverb reminiscent of Stewart Copeland.[20]
