5 out of 5 stars Sweet sounds from a super group........2007-02-06

Abba is one of the few music groups who's music is always in fashion. There is not a "sour"" note on the whole CD. Abba lives and this CD proves it!

5 out of 5 stars love their music.......2006-06-29

Always loved ABBA. Even though this has nothing to do with jazz, my favorite music, bar none, there is always room for Abba!
ABBA forever! What voices!

1 out of 5 stars Befuddling; There's Already A Boxed Set.......2005-05-14

In my opinion, record companies should stop releasing hits compilations for certain artists once they get a boxed set released. Artists like Billy Joel, Kiss and Stevie Wonder all had comprehensive boxed sets of their material released, yet afterwards many shoddy single disc collections of these artists' work have been released.

The same goes for ABBA. Granted, the Swedish pop group has not been anthologized nowhere near as many times as the previous artists I've mentioned, but when they released the "Thank You For The Music" boxed set in 1994, the hits collections should have been done away with it. Granted, 2002's "The Definitive Collection" was a great way to expose new fans to ABBA without giving them too much all at once, but that was it. Stuff like "Gold" and "More Gold" should have been taken off the market.

Well, now we got "20th Century Masters - The Millenium Collection: The Best Of ABBA", a terrible, 12 track compilation. Now, I'm not saying ABBA's music. I personally think that their music never ranked below a solid 8.5, with the majority of it hitting a 10. However, all you get here is their most popular work, nothing else. Since this is an American collection, it makes sense sicne they only had four big (top ten) stateside hits, but even this is an inexcusable excuse.

Bottom line: skip this.

4 out of 5 stars makes a good present.......2005-04-07

this cd makes a good presence for ur mum. mabey even a raise in allowance :D
i bought this as a present for my mum, cuz i knew she loved ABBA. gotta say, being a Britney spears fan, some of these songs aren't too bad. Now i kinda know why Britney says she was a bit "influenced" by them

5 out of 5 stars ABBA's biggest American hits back to back.........2004-11-20

Many reviewers have given this CD an unsatisfactory review stating the fact that it's several songs short of ABBA Gold. These reviewers are completely missing the point. This CD was intended to showcase the bands American hits and not their International hits.

For the casual listener, this CD is highly recommended as it cuts right down to the chase (but then again, so does ABBA GOLD). For those of you out there who are impatient and can't sit through GOLD's 19 tracks then this CD is a blessing. The CD offers 11 out of ABBA's 20 US Chart entries. All of the 11 songs that are showcased peaked in the Top Forty of the Billboard singles charts. Ranging from their biggest- "Dancing Queen" (US# 1, CAN# 2), "Take a Chance on Me" (US# 3, CAN# 7), "Waterloo" (US# 6), "The Winner Takes It All" (US# 8, CAN #10), "Fernando" (US# 13, CAN# 2), "Knowing Me Knowing You (US# 14, CAN# 2), "SOS" (US# 15, CAN# 9), "I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do" (US# 15, CAN# 12), "The Name of the Game" (US# 12, CAN# 15) to their medium sized American hits- "Chiquitita" (US# 29, CAN# 17) and "Mamma Mia" (US# 32, CAN# 20).

However, even as a North American hits showcase, this CD is incomplete. Missing are the Top Forty Hits "Does Your Mother Know" (US# 19, CAN# 8), "Honey Honey" (US# 27) and "When All Is Said and Done" (US# 27). In my opinion, it should have also included their minor US hits such as "Super Trouper", "Money Money Money", "The Visitors", "Angeleyes", "Voulez-vous" and "On and On and On". But then again, THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION covers all the above and more.

It's very hard for me to give an ABBA greatest hits collection anything less than 5 stars considering all of their hit singles are extraordinary pieces of work with strong singing and excellent vocal harmonies. All of ABBA's hardcore fans probably already own the more condensed (and highly recommended) ABBA GOLD or THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION so this review is obviously not geared towards them. For the casual listener who may just want a sample of those four Swedes who conquered the International music charts bewteen 1974-1982, this CD is the perfect buy. Be warned however, that there is a high percentage that it will leave you wanting more.

    2004's remastered best of cds under the millenium collection sound better than ever; these are studio mixes the way they are supposed to sound. This particular disc is the sampler; a song from each, a best of the best ofs. It will give you an idea of just how fresh this stuff sounds! Happy collecting!
