    These three Coventry lads crank out a predictable rock album with no real direction at all. [Fall 2008, p.86]

    With lead single "Away From Here" is a rewrite of The Jam's "Going Underground" and the albums title track mirroring "That's Entertainment",With lead single "Away From Here" is a rewrite of The Jam's "Going Underground" and the albums title track mirroring "That's Entertainment", it's fair to say The Enemy are influenced by Paul Weller and co. The two songs I've mentioned actually border on brilliance regardless of their originality. The rest of the album has its moments as well. Plenty of Pistols based rock with snarly vocals ranting about the lives of the working class. In terms of the music, it's highly enjoyable. Lyrically, when Tom Clarke is on form he's clever, incisive and meaningful but at times plays on the working class thing too much. A well put together album that will be enjoyed by britpop enthusiasts. Full Review »

    Followed this band from the start, and so proud of what they have achieved. Many people in the industry think they are a one trick pony and Followed this band from the start, and so proud of what they have achieved. Many people in the industry think they are a one trick pony and '30 years out of date' but much of the midlands hasn't move on since the 70's. Each tune has its own character that get your foot tapping, then caped off with the happy birthday jane. Good luck lads Full Review »
