Waterloo by ABBA
Waterloo is ABBA's release from 1974, craft and polish in every chorus. It runs to 38 minutes across 12 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: Waterloo
Waterloo is the track I return to, the clearest statement of what the album is doing. It earns its place on the album.
Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo, promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you
Woah, woah, woah, woah, Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo
Key takeaway
Waterloo is a record worth keeping. A gentle recommendation.
