Super Trouper [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
Nineteen eighty's Super Trouper was the fans' favorite--and no wonder. It was recorded at the height of the two couples' separations, thus adding an intensity and pathos to the group's already fearsome melodies. It contains Abba's masterpiece and swansong, "The Winner Takes It All," one of the most beautiful breakup songs ever recorded, its bitterly reflective lyrics mirroring the emotional fragility of the group (in '81, Benny and Frida followed Björn and Agnetha into divorce court). For further pathos, there's the orchestrated, chilling "Lay All Your Love on Me," "Our Last Summer," and a nostalgic, tear-jerking "Happy New Year." Songwriters Björn and Benny were certainly laying some demons to rest via their music. There's yet another European No. 1--the title track--disco dance-ified to perfection. The end was fast approaching, but Abba were still producing pop moments of sublime perfection. --Everett True

Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Mamma Mia.......2007-03-22

I have not stopped playing this cd. It is just great! It makes any trip in my car most enjoyable Happy I bought it!

Mamma Mia Musical CD.......2007-03-21

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.

Mamma Mia.......2007-01-29

Every time I hear the music and songs it brings back memories of seeing the Broadway Show

Not good at all.......2007-01-09

This is not what we wanted. The British accents throw it was off. We just saw it in NY and this is not what we were looking for.

Average customer rating: Great album...but poor re-mastering The best GREAT ALBUM! the masterpiece of ABBA's catalog If it wasn't for the end.

Super Trouper is generally considered Abba's finest album. The overheated disco flourishes of Voulez-Vous were dropped and the sequencing was very nearly perfect. What's more, silly lyrics metamorphose into things of wrenching beauty. The overall tone is rather somber--the unraveling of the band members' relationships underscores every track--but as usual Abba turn melancholy into uplifting pop music. This digipack version of the 1981 album includes two extra songs. "Put on Your White Sombrero" was recorded during the Super Trouper sessions but was replaced on the album by the title track; it's in the band's Spanish vein and comes with a throbbing synthesizer hook. "Elaine," meanwhile, was the B-side of "The Winner Takes It All" single. An uptempo number, "Elaine" is far from being a throwaway. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Great album...but poor re-mastering.......2007-04-30

I agree with John (from N.Y.), these 24-bit re-masters of the Abba catalogue were a big letdown. In a side by side comparison, the original discs sounded much better than these. The originals were brighter and plenty full; just like the original album sounded.

On the other hand, these 24-bit discs sound slightly muddy and the high end (which includes acoustic guitars and cymbals) are flat or dead sounding thanks to the no-noise solution. My advice, is to save your money and keep your old discs.

The best.......2006-08-10

This is a great album, because it has songs on it that aren't available on the Best of Abba album, like "Happy New Year" and "Our Last Summer" and "Andante, Andante." I'd highly recommend it.

GREAT ALBUM!.......2006-07-10

I just recieved this album today and it is my favorite of all of ABBA's albums. I am a HUGE ABBA fan. I have all their albums. My favorite song on this album is "Andante Andante" because it has a soothing sound. Buy this album!
Best song-Andante Andante
Worst-THERE IS NO BAD ABBA Song! They are all good! But my least favorite song on this album is "On & On & On."

the masterpiece of ABBA's catalog.......2006-01-06

Abba is a group who never truly had a bad album, but they crossed all boundaries with their 1980 release Super Trouper. Toning down the disco-pop from Voulez-Vous and replacing it with a more sophisticated adult new wave pop beat. Abba saved themselves from the disco backlash (although their best disco song, LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME, is featured in this collection)with these set of songs. The Winner Takes It All was the first single released. A tear-jerking ballad about divorce, became Abba's fourth and final US top 10 single (yep, it seems like they had more...), the song is so highly emotional that anyone who has heard it must admit it's power. SuperTrouper is the first song and second US single, a pleasant record although not a great. Our Last Summer is an incredible ballad. Happy New Year is also beautiful. Me & I is an irresistably fun new wave record about cloning (or multiple personalities, however you look at it). The Piper is very Irish sounding and cute. Andante Andante is also a gorgeous soft song. This album is the definitive Abba album.

If it wasn't for the end........2005-06-05

This album has some pretty good songs, but when I said some I mean four - six and that's not even the half of album's 12 songs. But that's not the big problem. All the bad songs is in the end of the album and all the good one in the begining. That's why I don't like it so much.

Super.......1999-03-24

The best album by the best pop group the world has heard. After the not so perfect Voulez-Vous, ABBA returned, stronger than ever, with Super Trouper. There is nothing out of place here and the songs are beautiful. The Winner Takes It All is their masterpiece, while Happy New Year, Our Last Summer and Lay All Your Love On Me are almost as good. The album is nostalgic and the songs are instantly familiar, some sound like hymns. The emotional beauty of The Winner Takes It All might make you cry but those are welcome tears. This is what life is about.

The brilliant culmination of a decade in music.......1999-03-16

Super Trouper is to Abba what Sergeant Pepper was to the Beatles ... the pinnacle of a terrific group's career. This was the first album entirely produced in their Polar music studio and the unity shows ... there isn't a misstep in any song and lyrically, they no longer sounded like they weren't sure what they were singing about. "Happy New Year" & "Andante Andante" are wonderful stand-outs.

My Favorite.......1999-02-25

This album must be the very best of ABBA. I like and enjoy whole tracks. In particilar, "The piper" and "Me and I" are special to me because of their inspring words and unique arrangements. Never cloying and all time refresher! Just one song I don't like very much is "Andante, Andante" because its lyrics are a bit creepy.(You know what I mean)

ABBA at its best.......1998-12-03

It could be another suitable title for this album, by far the best work of the group ever. Songs like "The winner takes it all" and "Lay all your love on me" are masterpieces. Inspiration is a great gift that allows one to capture a moment or, in the case of music artists, even a generation. This was ABBA's moment and it's captured beautifully here.

a true delight for ABBA fans!.......1998-09-13

It's one of the best works by ABBA. Everything on this cd sounds perfect and full of harmony - music, lyrics, vocals, sound effects, and so on...Anyone who wants to know the famous Swedish group should listen to this. The greatest delights are the songs: "Andante Andante", "Me and I", "The piper", "Happy New Year", and the unforgettable masterpiece "The winner takes it all".
