[Math] Number theory textbook with an algebraic perspective

booksnt.number-theorysoft-question

Most of the number theory textbooks I've dealt with take a very classical approach to the subject. I'm looking for a textbook that's something like a first course in number theory for people who have a decent command of modern algebra (at the level of something like Lang's Algebra). Does such a book exist, and if it does, what is it called?

Edit: As I posted in a comment below:

In the introduction to Ireland and Rosen, they note something that was bugging me for a while, "Nevertheless it is remarkable how a modicum of group and ring theory introduces unexpected order into the subject."

This is precisely the perspective I was looking for, so if anyone passes by this topic looking for a book that approaches number theory in this way, I feel like this quote should point him (her?) in the right direction.

There are probably many such books, for instance "Fundamentals of Number Theory" by LeVeque, "Elementary Number Theory" by Bolker and "A Classical Introduction to Modern Number Theory" by Ireland and Rosen.
