PRESS: This Is The Music Reviews The Enemy Social Disguises Album


This Is The Music website have reviewed The Enemy's Social Disguises album track by track and my goodness - what a glowing review! Every day we are sharing the love for the brand new album as more and more people discover how good The Enemy Social Disguises album is.



Here are some of the lines from the This Is The Music review:

"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."

PRESS: The Indie Masterplan Review The Enemy Social Disguises Album

 


The Enemy Social Disguises album has been awarded four and a half stars out of five on The Indie Masterplan website. Marc Whiffen wrote, "There’s always pressure when a band with a legacy steps back into the ring but ‘Social Disguises‘ doesn’t sound like a group trading on nostalgia, it sounds like unfinished business from The Enemy."

The review concluded by saying, "‘Social Disguises‘ isn’t just a comeback record, it has all the bones of what feels like a lost follow-up to ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Towns‘ but with all the soul of the progression they’ve been through in the 19 years since."

PRESS: CinemaChords Reviews The Enemy Social Disguises Album

 


Describing The Enemy 'Social Disguises' as "fuelled by frustration, fired up by experience", CinemaChords gave the new album 4/5 stars.

Howard Gorman's review said, "Social Disguises balances its reflective weight with drive, proving that a measure of frustration can be just as much a fuel for the song as melody or riff."

The Enemy Social Disguises Cassette


Last year cassette sales were up 53% (164,000 units) during 2025 in the UK as more music artists catered for the nostalgic tapes coming back into fashion. While they still have a long way to go in becoming as popular as vinyl (7.5m units) have become, more people are adding them to their collections.

The Enemy are giving fans the opportunity to add a cassette of Social Disguises to accompany the CD's and vinyls on offer from the official website. Priced at £7 (excluding postage and packaging) and even cheaper if combined with other pre-oder offers, The Enemy cassette may well become a valuable addition for collectors. The tape will not be available from many outlets, but fans can find it at Townsend Music.
