  Abba reviews
Abba’s full-fledged disco record was still a couple of years away, but this song alone puts them in the upper class of dance pop acts in the 70s.
Abba has never really been credited with writing “personal” songs, and though pure pop music is rarely about making confessional stances, the show-weary sentiment of “Super Trouper” is one of the most straightforwardly personal songs as you’re likely to hear on the radio.
Abba was basically a singles band, so these two greatest hits packages are the best place to start, and for most people, to stop.

 Amazon.com: Arrival: Music: ABBA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
With the arrival of Arrival, their fourth album, ABBA, the Swedish group were definitely on a roll, singles from their previous album having dented the Australian charts, and yielding another British #1.
Arrival demonstrates the band at their peak, with no sign of letup, yet from the faces on the album cover, I wonder if ABBAmania was taking its toll on the quartet.
'Arrival' is ABBA at the top of the pop music charts, and clearly displays the lyrical and musical depth that continues to seperate ABBA from so much of the rest of the pop music world before and after.

 The Music Of ABBA
The trademark ABBA sound consists of two main ingredients: keyboard-based wall-of-sound arrangements, and the soprano and mezzosoprano voices of Agnetha and Frida respectively.
The arrival of the 1980s saw a return to the slightly more bare production of their early days - with Benny's synthesizers very much to the fore - although with an added maturity that put its mark on their last album The Visitors in 1981.
This discography refers to the single and album releases as conceived by ABBA and their Swedish record company Polar during the time of the group's existence between 1972 and 1982 (excluding promotional releases).

Abba, a acronym of their first initials, sold over a hundred million records worldwide and continue to do so.
As we discovered from Abba at the time of this album’s release, Benny and Bjorn were professional executives of their craft from the word go.
Abba were in their own class when it came to producing atmospherics within songs.

Every song on Arrival seemed to have a certain hit quality about it and it is perhaps not surprising that Arrival sold over ten million copies the world over.
While most countries used the image of the ABBA members sitting inside the helicopter on the Arrival album cover, luckily for the collector, there were a few exceptions.
Arrival was re-released in Ireland without an inner sleeve and with a different catalogue number in 1981 and in the EU in 2001 using a direct metal master.

 Arrival
I think that on this album, the ABBA girls (who sing the songs) are a whole lot sexier than Madonna ever was (and that was without ever having sex on stage and wearing pointy bras).
ABBA is now ENTIRELY distanced from their unjustified "schmaltz" label here to make this a perfectly worthwhile listen.
ABBA is not a schmaltzy band (or at least they're not a schmaltzy band at this point in their discography).

 ABBA / ARRIVAL: 25 Years - Ian Cole Remembers
She asked me "what's the title of that new ABBA album?" and I said "Arrival", and then she picks up a paper bag from the Music Market that was hidden on the other side of her chair.
That was, as I recall, one of the first media mentions of the "ABBA backlash" that I'd already been feeling at school from other kids who were "sick" of ABBA being played on the radio and TV and in the papers and magazines all the time.
Arrival is still probably my favourite ABBA album, with ABBA and Super Trouper very close behind (then The Visitors).

 The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - ABBA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Outside of their greatest hits compilations, ABBA albums were always a mixed bag.
This release (comprising songs drawn from the albums ABBA, Arrival, ABBA--The Album, and Voulez-Vous) covers the group's most inspired years (1975-1979) and every track is a winner.
The lyrics plumb no great depths of sophistication but the pop sensibility of the songs and performances of ABBA at their best has rarely if ever been bettered, and this album is the perfect demonstration of that.

 The ABBA Remasters
One of his first decisions was that the eight original ABBA albums needed to be repackaged.
The live album, ABBA Live (consisting of recordings made between 1977 and 1981, originally released in 1986) was a part of the remastering program in 1997, but in 2001 it was absent from the re-released CDs.
However, any new live release is subject to the approval of the former ABBA members, so exactly what a new live album might contain has not been decided at this stage.

 iPatrickBlake - ABBA
I first became acquainted with who ABBA were and some of their music after watching a half-hour "documentary" on Channel 7 that was basically an ad for ABBA Gold back in late 1994, when I was just 12 years old.
I was lucky enough to be close-by in France when the International ABBA Day was on in the Netherlands, so I went and stayed with a local family and seeing other fans was a real eye-opener.
I'm sure ABBA will always be my favourite music, and I will never tire of the crusade that many ABBA fans embark on to have the music recognised for what it is: absolutely brilliant pop music.

 Arrival by ABBA CD
The rest of ABBA's fourth album is strikingly consistent and accomplished, opening with the sly, bouncy "When I Kissed the Teacher" and closing with the atmospheric title track, making room in between for the three excellent singles and five other substantial pop tunes.
Although three LPs and a greatest-hits compilation preceded it, ARRIVAL is aptly titled, as this album announces the band's move beyond bubblegum.
They topped the Beatles as the biggest selling pop group in history (still selling, and have their own broadway musical based on over 20 of their hit songs), and are extrememly underrated for all of their accomplishments, both as a group and solo.

ABBA were at the peak of their game for this album.
ABBA seeming had that talent in spades circa the recording of this album.
Much was the way it actually happened, the happiness present in ABBA music is entirely absent from the LP, the emotional resonance is still there but without levity, across an albums length, becomes rather trying.

While ABBA's 6th studio album is widely regarded as a piece of disco, it doesn't contain the qualities of the disco music of the time, music such as The Bee Gees and Donna Summer.
From Arrival (1976) right through to The Visitors (1981), Abba produced wonderful albums not just great singles but timeles album tracks which, in their own way, were just as endearing.
There is nothing I can say that can praise ABBA enough for their gift of music to planet earth (and probably beyond!).

At this point Abba were huge worldwide and, in a stroke of genius, they came up with an album theme that was reinforced every time they helicoptered into an airport to promote the album.
ABBA wanted us to know that they were big league players, and the helicopter was symbolic of this.
The cover was a good quality card, while the inner sleeve, with a far superior shot of ABBA outside the chopper, was backed with the song lyrics.

 Rolling Stone : Arrival : Review
As I write, "Dancing Queen," the single from this album, is shing-a-linging its way up the charts, and Abba seems on the verge of completing the conquest of their last great frontier: America.
Arrival could do just that, since it's the smoothest, purest and, in this sense, most radical Abba album yet.
By reducing their already vapid lyrics to utter irrelevance, lead singers Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog are liberated to matter on in their shrill voices without regard to emotion or expression, and the language barrier is broken.
