Review by Mike Watson:

Deathwish Inc. further proves is wide catalogue of aggressive music with their newest release from straight edge hardcore heavyweights Embrace Today. We Are The Enemy picks right up where Embrace Today left off, showcasing their brand of "if Pantera played hardcore and didn't smoke weed and drink all the time."

However, Embrace Today is absolutely nothing new. Most of the songs on We Are The Enemy run together and don't really separate from the rest of the album. While the band and album are both incredibly tight, it's still the same rehashed music that's been played for the last few years.

If you're looking for another band that you're sure to like, you'll absolutely love this album, because it is a great hardcore album and it sounds amazing. If you are looking for something groundbreaking and new, you may want to sit this Deathwish release out.

the previous reviewer pretty much hit it on the head but i think its more closer to a 4 star album considering their is a lot worse out there. embrace today aren't anything entirely special, nor do they even lay the claim to being groundbreaking, they just do what they do which is play tough straightedge hardcore and they're very good at it. production wise the album is a little weak but thats not so much of an issue in the whole scheme of things. theirs a few moments of experimentation with some female vocals and acoustic work that weaves in and out of the few of the tracks which is nice. the artwork done by jacob bannon is awesome and one of the coolest layouts i've seen in a long time. as long as you're not looking for something entirely groundbreaking, hardcore and metal kids alike can be satisfied with the punch that this album throws.
