RADIO 4 'Enemies Like This' cover art
AZRating: 5.1
Users rating: 8.0
(1 votes)
Release: 16 May 2006
Label: Astralwerks

StylusMagazine Rating: 8.3

Sharp, intelligent, and (most importantly) highly enjoyable, Enemies Like This is probably the height of the group’s creative abilities.   Full text...


Times Online Rating: 6.0

Enemies Like This attempts to recapture their DFA- produced urgency with Jagz Kooner at the desk. The urgent riffs and propulsive bass of the title track sets thing up nicely, Too Much to Ask For slashes through their self-consciousness with razorwire riffs, while Grass is Greener has an early U2ish rush about it.  Full text...


Guardian Rating: 6.0

The band's obsession with the Clash and Gang of Four continues, Anthony Roman's every agitated utterance a homage to Strummer and Jones, but they bore rather than galvanise.  Full text...


The Tripwire Rating: 6.0

Radio 4 returns with the stamina of yesterday's post-punk, noted successors of '90s Long Island hardcore and Clash slash Gang of Four inspired notions. The new record will not only nudge you to the floor, but will have you throwing caution to the wind and your arms in the air.   Full text...


Popmatters Rating: 5.0

The band’s new album, combatively titled Enemies Like This, unapologetically proffers the same Gang of Four-inspired dance-rock that has become par for the course for the group; trouble is, par for the course doesn’t really translate into anything very exciting.   Full text...


PitchFork Rating: 3.6

This could be the group's most accomplished record musically, but when Anthony Roman opens his yap he consigns the band's good deeds to the remainder bin.  Full text...


Drowned in sound Rating: 3.0

Now, with the genre oversaturated beyond belief, bands need to produce something special and original to stand out from the crowd. Radio 4 fail to do that, and though they'll make few enemies from this record you can't imagine them picking up many new friends.  Full text...


Harp Magazine Rating: 3.0

This clumsy, bloodless record is so calculated that the dudes must have been consulting a slide rule for the chord changes and an abacus for the beats.   Full text...
