Declaration is the first official studio album from The Alarm. It was released in 1984 by IRS Records. The album was released initially on vinyl and cassette. A CD version was released on 24 October 1990. An extended re-master version was released, including extra tracks.
Rolling Stone magazine wrote: "This is one of the best new live bands I heard last year, and they've put a lot of that power into their first album."
All songs written by Eddie Macdonald and Mike Peters, except where noted.
"Marching On", "The Stand", "Sixty-Eight Guns" and "Where Were You Hiding When the Storm Broke?" had already been released as singles before the album went on sale.
