Released in 1985, Strength is the second studio album by the Welsh rock band The Alarm. Following their successful debut Declaration, this album solidified their "anthemic" rock sound, blending acoustic and electric instrumentation with socially conscious lyrics. The title track "Strength" became one of the band's signature songs, capturing the spirit of mid-80s alternative rock.
