Album Review
The children of Brit-pop have a habit of enthusiastically embracing tradition and recycling the music of their idols, perhaps less apparent on their debut releases, which often get by on untrammeled enthusiasm, but more obvious on their second albums. The Enemy's sophomore set, Music for the People, is a case in point, playing like a CliffsNotes of the past 15 years of British rock, including the hits of 1995; they used the verse of Pulp's "Common People" as inspiration for "Nation of Checkout Girls" and adapted Blur's "The Universal" for "Last Goodbye." This repurposing of the past isn't limited to the '90s: "Don't Break the Red Tape" stomps just like the Clash's "London Calling," "Keep Losing" crawls like David Bowie's "Five Years," there's a hint of a Johnny Rotten snarl on "No Time for Tears" and more than a hint of Paul Weller's working-class romanticism elsewhere, and the list could go on — all of it indication of the Enemy attempting to grasp the brass ring. Like so many of the children of Oasis, the Enemy could learn from the Brothers Gallagher and take their rock & roll less seriously.

The oh so difficult second album
by superstartwastedlittledjAs an Enemy fan who has seen the band maybe once too many, Music For The People has done nothing 'for' me whereas We'll Live and Die in These Towns was excellent. Sure, this album has 'Sing When You're in Love' which I do like but the rest just don't seem to make the cut. Maybe Tom Clarke should stop slagging everyone else off and concerntrate on his own music!
one or dodge one but overrall good!
by tohisgoingtobesomeboyFrom the off with elephant song its a great follow up album. for me Be Somebody is a class tune, altho 'Nation Of Checkout Girls' sounds rather much like common people haa but overrall a really good follow album which most band fail in doing.
Games up for the upstarts
