Turnstile’s Nonstop Feeling Never Slows Down — 7/10

Turnstile built Nonstop Feeling as a fast, loud record that never stops moving. The Baltimore band wanted a full-length that kept the energy of their early shows, and the album runs 12 tracks and 27 minutes without a single quiet moment to slow it down. It is a record about staying restless, not settling, and it never lets up.

Opening With Gravity

Gravity opens the album with a heavy riff that sets the tone — fast, urgent, and built to push through. Drop follows at 1:37 and does exactly what its title promises: it drops the pace just enough to let the song breathe before the next surge. Fazed Out keeps the momentum going, a mid-tempo track that doesn’t waste a second.

Can’t Deny It picks the pace back up, and Bleach Temple follows at 1:54, one of the shorter cuts on the record. Bad Wave and Blue by You both sit around two minutes and work as brief connective tissue — neither overstays its welcome, but neither leaves much of an impression either.

Out of Rage Through Addicted

Out of Rage is where the record finds its best groove, a track that earns its place among the stronger songs here. Bring It Back and Addicted follow close behind, both short and direct, with Addicted clocking in at just over a minute and a half — the shortest track on the album.

Love Lasso and Stress Close It Out

Love Lasso holds the middle of the back half without demanding much attention, while Stress closes things out at 3:12, the longest track on the record. It gives the album a fitting end, one that feels earned after 27 minutes of constant motion.

The Running Order

Here’s how the album breaks down:

1. Gravity (3:10) — the anchor that starts it all
2. Drop (1:37) — short, effective, and easy to forget
3. Fazed Out (2:52) — steady and solid
4. Can’t Deny It (2:44) — one of the stronger cuts
5. Bleach Temple (1:54) — brief and slight
6. Bad Wave (2:17) — slight and easy to pass over
7. Blue by You (1:19) — barely registers
8. Out of Rage (3:12) — the best groove on the record
9. Bring It Back (2:20) — solid but short
10. Addicted (1:13) — the shortest track, almost a breath
11. Love Lasso (1:49) — pleasant but unremarkable
12. Stress (3:12) — the longest track, a fitting close

The Verdict

Nonstop Feeling doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is — a fast, loud record about staying restless. It succeeds at that goal more often than not, even if some tracks don’t quite hold up to the best of them. The album’s strength is its consistency, not its peaks.

“Stress”

It’s a record that rewards patience — the listener who can sit with 27 minutes of constant motion will find plenty to like. Those who want variety may find themselves wishing for a few more moments of space between the surges. As it stands, Turnstile delivered exactly what they set out to do.
