Sweet sounds from a super group........2007-02-06
love their music.......2006-06-29
ABBA forever! What voices!
Befuddling; There's Already A Boxed Set.......2005-05-14
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.
makes a good present.......2005-04-07
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
ABBA's biggest American hits back to back.........2004-11-20
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.
