The Alarm: Strength (1985)

The hair is still big, one year after Declaration. The sound is still big, the drums heavy, the vocals urgent. I think I can say that I really don't love any of the songs on this record. Despite having some Alarm records, I don't think I was ever really in step with what they were doing. Some reviewers argue that the band is the pinnacle of rock, but I fail to see it.

Perhaps some day, I will have to remove the Alarm from my vinyl collection.
