"Overall, Social Disguises succeeds because it blends the trademark punchiness that the band are known for with moments of playfulness and reflection.The album moves smoothly, from the assured drive of tracks like ‘Not Going Your Way’ to the more vibrant, exciting energy of ‘Pretty Face’, proving that the band can still write hooks that stick whilst exploring personal, hard-hitting themes."
"The new release, Social Disguises, talks through growing up, with some interesting adages and catchy guitar. It’s a steady record and one I’m sure will bring lots of joy to live audiences."
The Enemy said, "To celebrate the release, every ticket for this show will include an exclusive limited edition copy of ‘Social Disguises’ with a sky blue disc. This sky blue CD version will be a one off edition of the album, made for Coventry!"

The Enemy had an amazing time in Leeds on Saturday as fans turned up for the new album signing and special performance.
"Social Disguises (2026) is the antidote Enemy fans need to heal the longing for new music.
Whilst maintaining their roots, a range of styles are explored to prove The Enemy are evolving and moving with the times.
The result is a dominating album which takes its rightful place as my top February release.
The wait will have been worth it. Welcome back, The Enemy, take a bow."

"With over 90 demos to choose from the result is a record that sounds unmistakably like The Enemy — but wiser, tougher and more self-aware.""this album isn’t about reliving former glories. It’s about reclaiming identity.""The lyric “Hello Pretty Face, Welcome To The Rat Race” lands as a standout moment, a sharp, relatable line that proves The Enemy are still writing songs that connect directly with their fan base and reflect real-life pressures.""This isn’t just a comeback album — it’s a statement. Social Disguises finds The Enemy rediscovering the fire that first made them essential, while sharpening it with the perspective of everything they’ve lived through since.
The choruses still hit, the riffs still bite, and the urgency that once defined them hasn’t faded — it’s evolved.
Rather than chasing past glories, they’ve built on them, delivering a record that feels raw, relevant and unapologetically real.
After more than a decade away, The Enemy haven’t just returned — they’ve reminded everyone exactly why they mattered in the first place."
"this is the album that doesn’t just start a new chapter but could write their legacy, if you give it the time and space it deserves.""Social Disguises doesn’t mimic their earlier work but masters the efforts. These are solid, strong 11 tracks with little-to-no filler. In a scene craving authenticity, The Enemy have delivered reckoning over nostalgia."
