"Overall, Social Disguises succeeds because it blends the trademark punchiness that the band are known for with moments of playfulness and reflection.

PRESS: The Gryphon Reviews The Enemy Social Disguises Album

 


Today's review for The Enemy's Social Disguises album comes from The Gryphon, written by Ruby Macklin. A glowing track by track review that concluded with,

"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."
