Turnstile Release Reimagined Album 'Never Enough: Versions'

Turnstile have pulled off one of the most unpredictable collaborative moves in recent memory, assembling a staggering 22-track project that reworks songs from their 2025 LP, Never Enough. Titled Never Enough: Versions, the new album brings together an eccentric cross-section of peers, electronic producers, pop acts, and metal heavyweights.

Just as Metallica’s 2021 project The Metallica Blacklist showcased the broad reach of metal’s biggest icons, Turnstile’s new collection demonstrates how far the Baltimore hardcore crew has outgrown strict genre boundaries. Charli XCX notably referenced the band during her Coachella headline set, and the guest list for Versions proves their appeal stretches across the entire musical spectrum.

The Wild Collaborations on ‘Never Enough: Versions’

Among the most talked-about cuts on the project are contributions from music legend Elton John and death metal veterans Dying Fetus. Sir Elton joins Brendan Yates on a surreal, piano-driven reimagining of “Seein’ Stars,” continuing a recent streak of unexpected rock collaborations that includes work with Alice in Chains, Queens of the Stone Age, and Ozzy Osbourne.

Dying Fetus, meanwhile, take a completely different approach to “Birds,” trading the track’s buzzing hardcore build-up for scything, brutal death metal. Slayyyter also puts her own spin on “Birds” with an electroclash makeover, while Hayley Williams delivers a slow-burn, sultry soul vocal performance on “Ceiling.”

Electronic Explorations and Mixed Results

The rest of the tracklist wanders wildly through genre experiments. Floating Points transforms “Sole” into hard house, Baltimore’s Angel Du$t takes “Sunshower” through punk, ambient electro, and doom metal, and Four Tet delivers an EDM-leaning redub of “Look Out For Me.” Dan Deacon infuses “Dreaming” with euphoric drum ‘n’ bass, Brandon Woody injects smooth saxophone jazz into the mix, and A.G. Cook runs “Dull” through a gritty industrial filter.

Not every experiment sticks the landing—Porches’ acoustic dabblings on the opener and Chanel Beads’ quiet take on “Dull” draw mild critiques, while Julien Baker’s guest spot alongside Mustafa on the closing track “Time Is Happening” feels like it could have been left to Mustafa. Still, the sheer ambition makes Never Enough: Versions one of the boldest records of 2026.
