Penultimate ABBA.
The remastered sound is extraordinary (as is the case on all the remastered ABBA discs), and the song set contains some of their best material, including "The Winner Takes It All" and the terrific title track. ABBA's most accomplished and most popular LP, 'Super Trouper' in its latest 24-bit remastered incarnation is the version to own, despite its fragile digipak container. The next-to-last and best album from the Swedish Ubergroup.


For The Love Of ABBA
ABBA is so much more than just the songs you most associate readily with the group, and this collection just goes to prove that. To all of you who love ABBA and all great music from the 70's and 80's, this CD does not disappoint. I LOVED this CD, and was so glad to be able to add it to my collection again - in fact, I still have the original album! So please, if you are a fan of all great music and ABBA is certainly that - buy this CD - you won't regret it.


Feeling Like A Number One

The Winner Takes It All- the greatest of the relationship songs is one that anyone (including me) can relate to. Getting "Mamma Mia!" standards and favorites out of the way first:
Super Trouper- A great song that just feels magical.
Our Last Summer- Another personal one from Bjorn detailing a young romance in Paris is another song a person can relate.
Lay All Your Love On Me- An upbeat dance song that gives a hint to the techno sound music would have in the eighties.
As for the others, "Me and I" was an excellent song about the dual nature of people and the others were excellent. I can understand why this is the number one ABBA album for most fans but this is my third.


The Password is "Underrated"
Never fully appreciated by critics, this is actually as good as pop music gets. Strange as it may seem, but this chart-topping album is very underrated. Filled with excellent album-only tracks like "Happy New Year", "Andante, Andante", "Me And I", every track here could of been a Top 40 hit if released as a single. Musically, the album sees ABBA taking note of the passing of disco, and returning to the straight-forward pop sound heard on the albums "Arrival" and "ABBA", but with much increased use of synthesizers, as well as some bold songwriting. The result sounds very much of it's time, yet somehow is also timeless. Also, unlike some other artists of the time, ABBA also used live drums (played by Ola Brunkert) instead of a drum machine.

Overall, this is a fine album, and one that still pleases today.


abba lover
The songs are beautiful and timeless and I wore out the tape when I had it-let's see how long this CD lasts. This album was amazing when it came out in the 80's, and sounds even more amazing on th CD. . . :).
