Music reviews of The Collection
Music Review: A nice selection of ABBA tunes
Rating: 5 Stars
ABBA was formed in 1972 by four great Swedish musicians (Agnetha F?ltskog, Bj?rn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad - ABBA, get it?). Featuring wonderful vocals and bouncing instrumentation, plus enjoyable (if somewhat lightweight) lyrics, the group shot to international stardom, dominating charts around the world until their final breakup in 1982. This album was put together in 1998, and contains a nice selection of ABBA tunes.Yes, considering the group broke up some sixteen years before this album came out there is nothing new here. But, that said, it is a nice album with lots of great ABBA tunes. Heck, I do not have a large CD collection, and as such was very glad to have access to tunes that I did not have before. In particular, I found the album's ending with The Way Old Friends Do to be quite poignant.
My thirteen-year-old daughter has now become an ABBA fan, and she enjoys this album as much as I do. We both recommend this CD to you!
Description of The Collection
A couple of early bubble-gummy tracks ("Ring Ring," "So Long") are the only reminders on The Collection that ABBA were one infectious junk-pop machine. Most of this disc, something of a laidback companion to the two ABBA Gold CDs, is given over to big- production adult-contemporary ballads like "Thank You for the Music," "The Winner Takes It All," and "Fernando." So your buying choice depends on whether you're a fan of the rather stultifyingly "mature" ABBA herein displayed or of the fab outfit that produced "Waterloo," "Dancing Queen" and the (grown-up!) "Knowing Me, Knowing You"--all of them absent here. --Rickey WrightGeneral CDs
