Thoughts

I had never heard of The Alarm but they popped up as a question on the Popmaster TV show (“you are… ten guns out!”). That led to them being the album pick of the week and I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was so surprised. I LOVED it. It’s just great rock, for the 80s it sounds pretty modern, and it’s stacked full of good songs with great riffs. I could listen to this one over and over - always amazing to get a find like this from a band you’ve never heard of.

Rating: 5 / 5
