A review from its initial release in 1981: ?ÁAlarma! is the most exciting Christian release of the year. It might even be considered the most significant album in the genre of Christian rock. With this release Daniel Amos, one of the few Christian bands on the cutting edge of musical tastes in the 80's, has stepped to the forefront in the field of contemporary Christian music.? This has proven true 32 years on. This album influenced dozens of bands, not just in the Christian music field but in the mainstream arena?bands like U2, Collective Soul, The Ocean Blue and many more.
