Review by David and Melissa Johnson

Strength Eye Of The Hurricane by The Alarm: A Rock-Pop Masterpiece That Sticks With You Let’s cut to the chase—The Alarm’s Strength Eye Of The Hurricane is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. Released back in 2012 under EMI, this European gem blends rock and pop with enough heart to keep you hitting repeat. It’s not flashy or overproduced; it feels real, raw, and kinda like hanging out with an old friend who just gets you. Now, I gotta talk about two tracks that really stuck in my head: “Spirit of ’76” and “Walk Forever By My Side.” “Spirit of ’76” hits hard right from the start. There’s something about its driving rhythm and lyrics that feel nostalgic but also urgent, like a pep talk for your soul. It’s got this anthemic vibe—you can almost picture yourself fist-pumping at a live show while singing along (off-key, no shame). The energy is infectious, and honestly? It makes me wanna grab a guitar and pretend I’m in a band again. Not saying I’d be any good, but hey, that’s what music’s supposed to do, right? Then there’s “Walk Forever By My Side,” which flips the script completely. This one slows things down and lets the emotion take center stage. The melody wraps around you like a warm blanket, and the vocals have this earnest quality that feels personal—as if they’re singing directly to you. Every time I hear it, I think about road trips and long conversations where everything somehow makes sense. It’s simple yet powerful, and isn’t that what great songs are all about? The rest of the album holds its own too. Tracks like “Eye Of The Hurricane” and “Rain In The Summertime” bring their own flavor to the mix, balancing introspective moments with bursts of energy. And sure, some tracks lean more toward classic rock vibes while others flirt with pop sensibilities, but somehow it all works together. Like a playlist curated by someone who knows exactly how to keep things interesting. Here’s the thing though—it’s not perfect. Some parts might feel a little predictable if you’ve been around the block with rock albums before. But honestly? That doesn’t matter much here. What does matter is how these songs connect. They remind you why you fell in love with music in the first place. So yeah, Strength Eye Of The Hurricane isn’t gonna change your life overnight, but it’ll definitely stick with you longer than most albums these days. Funny enough, listening to it feels a bit like reconnecting with an old buddy—you remember why you liked them so much in the first place. Oh, and fun fact: after finishing the album, I realized I hadn’t moved from my couch for an hour. Guess that says something!
