Release Notes:
The Enemy's latest offering may be a pleasant surprise for some, although this
isn't necessarily a great achievement on any level. Reminiscent of 90s Brit-pop
at its height, 'This Song...' is a track that you can't help tapping along to,
and is guaranteed to be well and truly lodged in your brain for hours after
listening.
The anthemic, uplifting progression of the chorus is sadly overshadowed by The
Enemy's formulaic, uninventive lyrics. "Changes in your mind, Changes in your
life, Changes in the times, and the reason you can't sleep at night" sounds like
a half-hearted attempt by a band of 12 year olds who are convinced that to
create a good piece of music, the lyrics must rhyme, even if this means
sacrificing any intelligence they may once have had.
Lyrics aside, 'This Song...' has the workings of another chart topper - which
means that love them or hate them, The Enemy are going to be churning out
generic hit after hit until one day they simply fall out of the limelight, like
every other mainstream 'indie' band of their era.
