I don't see what all the fuss is about this song, I think it's a great song and Blue Sky Noise as a whole holds up to their other albums quite well.
I think there's reason this song follows "I Felt Free", I think it's addressing the same relationship in a different light. Where in "I Felt Free" he takes a more optimistic look at it and addresses all the positive things in ending it . "Imaginary Enemy" takes a more accusatory tone, and puts the faults of the relationship failing onto the one he's singing to. Addressing her ungratefulness, and selfishness and need to make him into an enemy. He's tried to make it work, but he's tired of it so he let it all his frustrations out and ended it. Which lead him to feel the way he does in "I Felt Free". the songs could really be the other way around and make more sense in story flow, but the recorddoes seem to flow better in this order
