Cause for Alarm is the second full-length studio album by New York hardcore band Agnostic Front.

The addition of a second guitarist Alex Kinon led to a more metallic approach, although the songs still had mostly a hardcore sound.

[3] Several critics, including Phil Donahue,[4] Jello Biafra and the fanzine Maximum Rocknroll,[5] have criticized Agnostic Front for the controversial lyrics of the song "Public Assistance", written for the band by then-Carnivore frontman Peter Steele.

[6] Steele went on to write a very similar song for his new band Type O Negative named Der Untermensch, which appeared on their album Slow Deep and Hard.

"Your Mistake" was covered by Fear Factory, with Freddy Cricien of Madball, on the Demanufacture digipak as a bonus track, and by Hatebreed on their album For the Lions.
