7/10

On their latest LP 'Everything Must Make Sense!', The Sherlocks have fully stepped into their next chapter, more confident than ever. Gone is any sense of hesitance; in its place stands a band swinging for the rafters with a record built for big rooms and bigger feelings.

The South Yorkshire outfit have always delivered with grit and conviction, but this new collection feels turbocharged. Across the record, they veer between synth-charged adrenaline and snarling guitars, cinematic choruses and tender moments of restraint. What unifies it all is the sense that they’ve never sounded more assured in who they are.

Tracks shift from stadium-sized stompers to thoughtful introspection, with moments that recall the pulse of White Lies or the swagger of Kasabian. There’s an openness here, a willingness to throw new ideas into the mix without ever losing sight of the band’s core identity. It’s experimental in intent but grounded in the urgency and directness that’s earned them a fiercely loyal following.

Whether it’s the anthemic rush of the title-track, the jagged bite of the guitar-driven bangers, or the unexpected emotional pivots tucked into quieter corners, 'Everything Must Make Sense!' proves The Sherlocks are in no mood to plateau. They’re aiming high and hitting the mark without compromising what made them stand out in the first place.
