The Visitors by ABBA
The Visitors is ABBA's release from 1981, craft and polish in every chorus. It runs to 38 minutes across 9 tracks on Polar Music. I found it some years after it appeared and was glad I did.
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: One of Us
One of Us stands out, the piece that holds the whole set together. It earns its place on the album.
One of us is crying, one of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely, one of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Key takeaway
The Visitors is a fine place to start. A gentle recommendation.
