Enemies of Reality is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Nevermore, released in 2003 by Century Media.

Due to the mixed reception of the album's production by Kelly Gray, it was remixed and remastered by Andy Sneap in 2005.

At the beginning of the song there is message played backwards that repeats the pre-chorus "we are the useless by-product of soulless meat."

[2] Enemies of Reality is infamous for its production by Kelly Gray, which was criticized as being inferior to the quality of previous albums.

[3] Speaking in 2003, contemporaneous with the initial release, Jeff Loomis spoke with qualified favour of the recording: [Kelly Gray is] more of a pop producer kind of guy.

Moreover, he directly attributed the shortfall in the album's sonics to budgetary constraints related to the contract negotiations then ongoing with Century Media: We were at the end of our recording contract with Century Media, and basically they didn't know if we were going to re-sign with them, so they gave us a very small budget for our last album to work with.

What we needed to do at the time was to find a producer that was immediately available to make a record with such a small budget, and that guy was Kelly Gray (laughs).

"[5]That year, Enemies of Reality was remixed by Andy Sneap, who produced Nevermore's Dead Heart in a Dead World and would later produce This Godless Endeavor, mix and master The Year of the Voyager, and mix and master The Obsidian Conspiracy.

'"[13] While KNAC.com lauded the album as Nevermore's "most accessible, catchy, infinitely memorable recording to date," author Eden Capwell lambasted the production for being "a shroud" giving the impression of "two-dimensional flatness".
