The Enemy have announced the title of their second album.

The record will be called 'Music For The People', and will feature tracks including 'Elephant Song', 'Don't Break The Red Tape' and 'Sing When You're In Love/Sing When You're Out Of Love', the band revealed on their blog.

The Enemy have yet to confirm a release date, but explained: "We feel like we have made a big step forward with this album and I can speak for all of us when I say how delighted we are with it all - really hope that you lot feel the same.

"We decided to go right back to basics with the recording and do it all on tape rather than computers which is how the vast majority of modern records are made, and as a result it sounds huge, like a proper old school rock record. But don't worry - the bangers are very much still there, and hardcore Enemy fans will not be disappointed, I can assure you."

There album title seems to be missing something hmmmm maybe it should be "Music For The People out there with hearing difficulties and no knowledge of good music"It annoys the hell out of me that these three squirts are going down the whole, Voice of the people route to try and make themselves seem relevant for slightly longer. Hopefully one day soon the general public will wake up and think "Hang on a minute, these are actually shit."I can only hope......

However they really arnt for you to judge someone elses opinion, but if you do insist on it you could have at least come up with something either A)interesting B)Witty or c)original.You however missed all 3.

Well in that case Joehaith its not right for you to judge my opinion on your opinion is it?

why have you lot got it in for The Enemy for gawds sake...grown up...they're just a band, doing what they like to do, and some of us actually like them!!if youre just gonna come on here and band mouth them, whats the point? you're not big n you're not clever, at least they're actually DOING SOMETHING .....

Well Birthday Jane i hate to burst your bubble but i am infact quite big (Height wise) and fairly clever if i do say so myself and i actually do quite a bit myself. I leave nice comments for bands i like and i leave negative opinions on those i dont. Is that not the point of these comment boxes on news stories?? My issue with enemy lies with the fact they have taken it upon themselves to be the "voices of the working class" well being work class i would like my voice to be slightly more intelligent. p.s Verymetal13 : The use of the word "friend" was little something called sarcasm............

Paddy, read my post again. Notice the "working class" part?? So can you explain the "posh" part of your insult? Clever though, I mean it must have taken you all day to come up with such a witty reply. With that level of intelligence, no wonder you think this album will be quality.

Well that "little eassy" was addressed to you and your clearly read it. However you are a nobody, so your statement is correct minus the immature insult stuck on the end.
