ABBA: The Album by ABBA

ABBA: The Album is ABBA's release from 1977, craft and polish in every chorus. It runs to 40 minutes across 9 tracks on Polar Music. I came to it well after release and have returned to it since.

Why listen?

The songs are bright and well made, each one built around a strong hook. The production is clean and the melodies carry the weight. It is craft you can hear on the first listen.

Favourite song: Take a Chance on Me

Take a Chance on Me is the high point of the record, the moment where everything comes together. It is worth the price of the record on its own.

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around
If you got no place to go when you're feeling down
If you're all alone when the pretty birds have flown
Honey, I'm still free; take a chance on me
Take a chance on me

Key takeaway

ABBA: The Album is well worth your time. Give it a listen.
