• ABBA

    From Matt Munson@1:218/109 to All on Sunday, July 20, 2008 22:16:26
    Wow. I never realized that ABBA makes some great music. I grabbed the definitive collection and for 37 songs, its a darned good value.

    The song writing was epic for their almost decade plus long reign. The
    Winner Takes All, Voulez-Vous, S.O.S, Mama Mia. So many good songs
    its so sad they broke up, but we at least have the music.

    I heard it on Spotify already and it wasn't a great album anyways to begin with so you're not missing much there.

    I understand theres a certain segment of the Earth population that just can't wait to get into their type of music, rushing right out to buy that album... but really I just don't get it and see it more as a big attention-grab, like what, the royalties are drying up on their older stuff?

    I do admire the craftsmanship that went into their 70's output but anything beyond that... meh... Is it better to burn out than to fade away?

    I'm at song 3. Clearly a Christmas album. And sofar, it
    sounds like an album designed for aging ABBA fans that may have
    grandchildren at this point in time.

    Song 4 has familiar ABBA-esque style. That's one they released
    in advance.

    Song 5. Hmmm.

    Song 6. That one is putting me to sleep. And, I generally
    don't like absolute storylines in lyrics.

    7. Hmmm.. Who's Dan? And, why do we care about Dan?

    8. Sounds like something for children.

    9. Gets close to be new and innovative, but not quite.

    10. Sounds like a goodbye tune during the credits of a movie or
    something.

    The recording is not worthy of repeat listens, for me.

    4. Don't Shut Me Down is the only one I like on this album.

    The only good Christmas albums are the barking-dog record and possibly Brian Setzer.

    The Ramones are good too...
