✦✦✦✧ Turnstile’s third album takes the experimentation of its predecessor and makes it look safe and timid by comparison. Here, the post-hardcore quintet set out to see just how far they can push and expand the limits of the beloved genre that they have so faithfully served. Track after track is full of surprises and delights. I never knew that hardcore could evoke memories of Sonic Youth, The Clash, Weezer, and Incubus. But now that I’ve heard this album, of course I should have known that it could. Fascinating and fun, it’s hard to think of a bigger level-up in 2021 than this.
