The Album - ABBA

THE ALBUM is the title of legendary Sweedish pop group ABBA's album. The album consists of 10 tracks which i will review. The opening song EAGLE contains fantastic instrumental work which brings in the vocals that are so smooth and mellow. My favourite song on the album is TAKE A CHANCE ON ME.

If the only albums you have of Abba's are Greatest Hits compilations, listen to this one - you'll be in for ...  Read the complete review
