[7] On April 30, the band released the second single, “Seein’ Stars” / “Birds,” with a music video also directed by Yates and McCrory. [8]

Never Enough received a score of 83 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 18 critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". [13] 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." [17] 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." [16] Pitchfork 's Nina Corcoran drew parallels to 80s 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. [21]

Commercial performance

In the United States, Never Enough debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200, earning 38,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, including 27,500 in pure album sales.

[24] The album also debuted at number one on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, number two on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, and number four on the Top Album Sales chart. [25] [26] [27]
