1979 at the height of the disco wave, it was so far Abba took a first-class disco album, and did it - as befits a pop supergroup - entirely atypical by namely their pop songs just put in a disco garb, but that tastefully fail and very confidently.
Of course, As Good As New ', the theme song, `Angel Eyes' Summer Night City 'and` Does Your Mother Know' are pure disco, but there are no compositions which would be built only on 2 harmonies and very simple melodies, there are typical mature Abba songs. Especially in the latter but also allowed the skirt and some space, I Have A Dream 'and' Chiquitita 'are prototypical Abba ballads. Overall, the four Swedes here but very strongly to dance and it is probably the hedonistischste album of the quartet.
Because it fits very well that one has draufgepackt on the re-release even the ursrprünglich published only as single 1980 second big disco anthem Abba's, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme '. Should highlight one also, The King Has Lost His Crown 'and one of the best album only tracks Abba's ever Kisses Of Fire'.
Even if it only 'a disco album was: an album in this continuous high compositional quality you actually otherwise never succeeded - even if on the 75er, Abba' were there very close.
Oh, and one more thing: so uncontroversial Abba today regarded as one of the biggest pop bands of all time, so much was it when, wimp 'and, commercialism pile' decried when you came out as Abba fan in the late 70s and early 80s; but you played these self-styled quality commissioners then Voulez-Vous times in a row before, then fell silent, many of these critics, and also speaks still very for this album, and the fact that it really is arranged great.
