Never heard this group’s music before today but holy hell, this record rips and I’m in love with it. One of the big reasons I fuck with the melon, I get exposed to music I wouldn’t have otherwise. Thanks, Anthony.
The way they blend dream pop-ish sound with post hardcore sound is just so nice, the transition between each song may not be the best, but somehow its still cohesive. Definitely a breath of fresh air for me
fyi, dreampunk already exits as a vaporwave adjacent genre so you might not find what you're looking for if you're searching for more music like this album.
I agree production wise and the sounds they're bringing out with the mix of dream pop elements and other hardcore genre elements makes this sound like something fresh.
love this record. i had never listened to the band, but i'm a sucker for pretty album art so i saw a pink sky with clouds and was like ah yes, the perfect album for me. and it really is bc i can't stop listening to it. i've started listening to their older stuff too, definitely a new fave band.
Please don't go to their shows. Unless you're into hardcore, I don't feel like you should be there. If you do go, don't cry when you get spin kicked in the face when they play something on step to rythym.
This was easily a 10/10 record to me, probably my AOTY to be honest. It's just so amazingly cohesive and beautiful to be honest. Songs like UNDERWATER BOI, and NEW HEART DESIGN are among my favorites along with the bangers of HOLIDAY and BLACKOUT. Also the first time I heard that piano riff on DON'T PLAY, I was transported. I could honestly see this t-shirt being worn by hyperpop girls and rappers alike, it just feels so good to me. 8's about what I expected from Fantano, but this album just made me feel so great, so happy. Fantano can joke about 'dudebros forming a genre' or whatever, but I think this album is pushing boundaries forward without abandoning sound and edge and I can't say enough good things about how it makes me feel. I kiss this album straight on the lips. UNDERWATER BOI is incredible, and LONELY DEZIRES is an incredible outro that fits the sweeter hazier side of the album... but that's just his opinion ~
DON'T PLAY was hands down my favorite. That main guitar riff reminded me of some of The Offspring's cooler songs off their first handful of albums where they had that vaguely sinister Latin sound
Record of the year. Especially when you look at the live performances that have been happening this week. The kind of heart & fire we haven’t seen in years
This record will definitely be a contestant for my top albums of 2021. Love the vibe and ESPECIALLY the more soft songs like alien love call! Impeccable work.
For someone who loved Hyperview and Light we Made I hope Turnstile can finally break through and still be able to tour with this record If there’s a band that can do that it’s Turnstile. I think this is the record of the year so far.
@@epictubegamer it's almost 2 hours, that too long for an album that I'm not excited for. It took me 6 years to get around to To Be Kind because of the length.
I'm glad Fantano is digging this new record it's arguably the band's best and it's fairly unique I love it, slowly becoming one of my all time favourites
Personally I love their step2rhythm ep the best, but I think if you’re coming at it from being music in general, and not hardcore, then yea this is arguably their best.
@@Quadruple_curious yeah I definitely wasn't expecting something so...light but in time and space they were experimenting with this kind of sound and it works REALLY well, I really like nonstop feelings also though it's got a lot of true blue hardcore bangers on there, pun intendend
I think Time + Space is their best and most consistently brilliant album. Definitely more hardcore than Glow On but still more “alternative” than S2R and NSF. Glow On is a great record, but I do think it falls down a bit on the back end, very front loaded record. But I’m loving the Faith No More vibes on Don’t Play!
I’ve been jammin this album since it came out.I’m a huge “Turnstile”fan.My favorite tracks on this album are “Mystery””Holiday””Blackout”and “Underwater Boi”.
absolutely agree loved the album. loving this new era of artists mixing post-hardcore and punk and modern indie aesthetics. The one-two punch of Mystery and Blackout is just killer. Definitely a top ten album from this year imo.
Listened to this album last night, absolutely awesome. I wasn’t sure whether I was gonna like it or not since I’m a fan of more hardcore stuff, but this album was hard-hitting and catchy and fun all at the same time. Really cool stuff
They don't bring anything crazy to the table but I'm guessing it's always cool to hear bands like this in an era where shitty hip hop and althoe pop rule the West
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts For a while there, they were putting out a new single/video every week. Towards the end they put out an 11-minute, 3-song video. That might not sound super exciting, but hearing a new song every week, especially when they were so good, definitely got me pumped.
@@philipbeadle6446 Great choices on the singles, if I may add. That first group of singles: Holiday, No Surprise, Mystery, TLC were dope. Then Blackout and Fly Again -- just blew me. I'm a new Turnstile fan who stumbled into them on I Don't Wanna Be Blind then the 11-minute T.L.C. MV -- completely fell in love immediately.
That’s normally how it goes when he reviews lesser known artists, unfortunately. If it’s not people asking for a different review, it’s people making shitty unoriginal jokes about Anthony being racist or something, or both at once.
@@TheIntenseLime gotta say the racist jokes still be making me crack up 😂 Regardless I’m sure there will be some people who listen to them as a result of a good review from Melon so there’s that positive
Doubt the band themselves give a fuck, if anything more people are clicking on this positive review and potentially checking them out than they would otherwise
This album is by far their best yet, absolutely loved it. Just saw them live with Show Me The Body this past Saturday, insane show, pure chaos, they killed it live.
i was at the one on friday. i was kind of disappointed with this album but they played most of their older discography and killed it. was cool to finally see them live
this album came at the right time. i was looking forward to deafheaven making my favorite record for the end of summer, but turnstile really delivered. it's unbelievable how catchy the songs are on this one. it also just exudes this life-affirming attitude while still sounding aggressive and full of energy. love this album.
Agreed. Time + Space make me love Turnstile, that’ll always be the quintessential Turnstile album for me, as much as I head to reduce them down to it. It was just so fucking good.
Turnstile forever, absolutely loved this LP. If anyone has the chance to see them on this tour, DO IT. They rocked Irving Plaza in NYC, new songs sound even better with a crowd!
Went to the show at Irving two weeks ago... From being a huge fan of their older stuff it was really cool to see the diverse crowd that came for both their old and new stuff. They did play mostly Glow On but still played some classics.
Duuuude, this is so sick seeing you do Turnstile. I've been watching your videos a lot more recently, and I figured you were somewhat into this side of music, but it's so sick to see you reviewing it in depth likes. Seriously love your take on music, it's so rad! Can't wait for more reviews on future releases!
Ice played Underwater Boi at least 5 times a day since it's release. Perfect pacing, break in the middle and awesome outro. Shame it's such a short song. It's a fantastic break from the other songs and has perfect guitar and drum melody.
Just catching up with this. Glow On is kind of a "tweener," mostly in a good way. I hear a lot of Weezer in songs like Holiday; these guys really can write a power pop song. The "alt rock" stuff is ... just fine. But overall I'd say that Turnstile's lane is power pop/pop punk/mid-core, and they're best when they stick with it. That all said, props for stretching their boundaries. 8 feels about right because there's so much to like and the rest is admirable.
I absolutely love this record. I hear so many influences. I hear janes addiction, beasty boys, suicidal tendancies, classic NYC hardcore, lots of late 80's punk influence.
It's hardcore with some palette cleansers to mix it up. Really fun album and its not a surprise they're getting a ton of attention. Hardcore just isn't all versatile when it comes to sound, so mixing in these other genres/elements makes it more palatable and interesting, while still slappin'. This isn't "selling out" to the punk/hxc nerds - its innovation.
Honestly the vibe on TND has been nice so far. I know that negative/mid reviews still exist but, and maybe it's just because of the two recent 10s, I feel like there's been more positive reviews than normal. It's nice, hope you're doing well Antnee :)
This is everything I’ve been craving in music, it’s blend of everything I’ve been listening to during this pandemic. This album doesn’t get old either, I’ve listened to it so many times.
Maybe but not quite as abrupt - TF went full shoegaze in a single album, Turnstile definitely trying new things (very successfully) while still pretty rooted in their classic sound
@@guyonagravitronmachinestan7595 no I’m literally saying the opposite. I’m saying that describing their old school stuff as “cliche hardcore” is silly because most recent cliche hardcore bands are pseudo deathcore
The best live band in hardcore. They really upped their game on this one. First half is especially strong. Gives me a Shelter meets Porno for Pyros meets 2011 chillwave vibe.
They really have embedded their pop sensibilities with their hardcore roots and created something magical on this album. I never would have thought indie and hip hop sounds could mesh so perfectly with hardcore yet here we are. This is how you redefine a genre
Good review! I’ve only heard and enjoyed the album Nonstop Feeling. I wasn’t even aware they released a new album but now I’m excited to give it a listen. 👍🏼
I'd argue the people riding hype with blinders like that on wouldn't care anyways with that kind of attention span 🤷 This album slays the whole way through, though. I bet it'll be a breakthrough for them and that they're going to land on the radar of some bigger names
I wouldn't pay it any mind, the people who are hyped about Kanye probably wouldn't listen to something like Turnstile. People will only expand their horizons if they want to. Also Turnstile are already really popular in the Hardcore punk / skater scene, they are perhaps the most accessible hardcore band right now with this album and their previous album Time & Space
I had never heard of this band until I stumbled upon "Time & Space" and it ended up being my AOTY. I feel like this one took a bit longer to grow on me because of the slower songs but I realized they're good "catch your breath" tracks. IDK if this will be AOTY but it'll be close.
In my adolescence, I honestly really loved turnstiles early stuff. It provided some more obvious melody than a lot of the more pure hardcore groups. And with their direction, love it. it's kind of evolving with my tastes, where I'm not as angsty as my younger self. I'm not looking to kill or be killed in the pit these days.
Couldn’t agree more on the score, it’s not perfect but to me it feels like what pop punk should be. Not to call any specific band out but this made me reconsider the genre as a whole, I really think they nailed it with this one despite some slower moments
i am a hardcore (no pun intended lol) fan of turnstile and literally just bought something from their carpet company collab, but tbh, I NEED THAT DONDA REVIEW
I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this band, it's restored my faith in music. Cheers, Fantano.

Can’t wait to see where they go next.

I mean I wouldn’t even say old school Turnstile is cliche hardcore because most cliche hardcore bands are now just pseudo-deathcore bands
@@bellboy5689 are you insinuating that Turnstile is deathcore? Because if so that's fucking hilarious
@@guyonagravitronmachinestan7595 no I’m literally saying the opposite. I’m saying that describing their old school stuff as “cliche hardcore” is silly because most recent cliche hardcore bands are pseudo deathcore
The best live band in hardcore. They really upped their game on this one. First half is especially strong. Gives me a Shelter meets Porno for Pyros meets 2011 chillwave vibe.
he’s taking ages to iron that yellow flannel for donda
Love turnstile so much they’ve been my favorite for a min and the transition to glow on was a great direction imo
I think I’ve seen more comments about people getting ready for donda fans to come then actually donda comments
I’m just glad he reviewed this album, but even more happy that he liked it
Saw them live last week and they sounded great. Album has elements of 311, Janes Addiction, and RHCP.....a really good listen.
They really have embedded their pop sensibilities with their hardcore roots and created something magical on this album. I never would have thought indie and hip hop sounds could mesh so perfectly with hardcore yet here we are. This is how you redefine a genre
He’s saving the 10 for Donda.
he’ll give it a 5 or a 6
Bruh, thanks for discovering me this group! Wow
Imagine Turnstile came here to see a review of their album and all anyone can talk abt is Donda
This is one of four albums I'd consider in contention for my personal favorite album of the year. It is so good.
Saying this isn’t DONDA for 15 minutes and then giving it a 0 isn’t a review, Anthony.
Jesus with the thumbnail I thought we were getting another 10! Great album and review
anthony mandingo is a genuine vibe
Good review! I’ve only heard and enjoyed the album Nonstop Feeling. I wasn’t even aware they released a new album but now I’m excited to give it a listen. 👍🏼
Shame these lesser known albums will get ignored by so many just because they happened to be released near a much more hyped album.
Specially when in this case, the lesser expected album happens to be extremely better than the overhyped lame ass one.
I'd argue the people riding hype with blinders like that on wouldn't care anyways with that kind of attention span 🤷
This album slays the whole way through, though. I bet it'll be a breakthrough for them and that they're going to land on the radar of some bigger names
I wouldn't pay it any mind, the people who are hyped about Kanye probably wouldn't listen to something like Turnstile. People will only expand their horizons if they want to. Also Turnstile are already really popular in the Hardcore punk / skater scene, they are perhaps the most accessible hardcore band right now with this album and their previous album Time & Space
I had never heard of this band until I stumbled upon "Time & Space" and it ended up being my AOTY. I feel like this one took a bit longer to grow on me because of the slower songs but I realized they're good "catch your breath" tracks. IDK if this will be AOTY but it'll be close.
Ok but what about Donda, the brand new full lenth LP by rapper, singer and producer, Mr. Kanye West?
Thanks for the recommendation, I enjoyed listening to this album! it was a fun listen :)
In my adolescence, I honestly really loved turnstiles early stuff. It provided some more obvious melody than a lot of the more pure hardcore groups. And with their direction, love it. it's kind of evolving with my tastes, where I'm not as angsty as my younger self. I'm not looking to kill or be killed in the pit these days.
Couldn’t agree more on the score, it’s not perfect but to me it feels like what pop punk should be. Not to call any specific band out but this made me reconsider the genre as a whole, I really think they nailed it with this one despite some slower moments
This is a 10 for me.
Just saw them in concert in Pittsburgh, and it was electric. Best performance I've ever seen.
According to Kanye fans, currently there are no music outside of DONDA.
their not wrong
i am a hardcore (no pun intended lol) fan of turnstile and literally just bought something from their carpet company collab, but tbh, I NEED THAT DONDA REVIEW
@@angadgrewal9324 Yes exactly
Kanye fans would listen an album of paint drying and call it another Ye masterpiece.
@@dropit7694 Kanye could literally make the best album of all time and Kanye haters would find some way to call it trash
I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this band, it's restored my faith in music. Cheers, Fantano.
“There’s probably dozens of the records I could reference that have an aggressive performance style, but some really spacious, dreamy overtones” - please don't hesitate to share the list!
Check out Loathe’s “I Let it In and it Took Everything” man
hyperview by title fight, guilty of everything by nothing
Swervedriver's first 2 records have some badass riffs and plenty of mesmerizing moments.
My thoughts exactly. Yes, please and thank you.
Probably not news to you but Deftones are masters at this. Check out the album Koi No Yokan, Diamond Eyes and White Pony if you haven't already
its always a good day when anthony is wearing a yellow flannel.
Listening to you talk about this was like, "Wow this sounds up my alley" so I started listening to it and it sounds like it would be in the type of Scooby-Doo movie I wanna see.
