I was actually turned on to this album by accident. I stumbled upon a live clip of ABBA singing the song "Under Attack", on utube, and I instantly became infatuated with Agnetha Faltskog! Her voice is so rich and full! She really is a beautiful person, and I don't just mean physically! I really liked this album because it gave some depth to the mythical 4 members of ABBA! These weren't happy, bubbly pop songs like their prior records. "The Visitors" gave a glimpse into the dark sides of their lives, together, and as they split apart! On a final note, the purchase of this album led me to discover that Agnetha released a solo record in 2004 entitled "My Colouring Book", further etching in stone my admiration for this gifted vocalist! She sounds as warm and sweet now as she did 30+ years ago! I love to see artists recording music because THEY like the music... or THEY picked out the tracks because of how the songs read into their lives!!! Many props to Agnetha Faltskog for longevity... and to the other members of ABBA, as well!!Read full review
ABBA's last studio album is the crowning glory of ABBA's achievement, even though it does not contain bubbly songs like "Dancing Queen (Arrival Album) or Take A Chance on Me (ABBA - The Album). The lyrics are dealing with very grown-up ideas, such as divorce in "When All Is Said And Done" and, at the time, (1981) the oppression from the USSR government in "The Visitors". This album, is not a total bleak album, as some people think, as the song “Two For The Price of One” shows the ABBA members still capable of joking around once in a while, even when they knew ABBA was coming to a close. My personal favourite on the album is “Like An Angel Passing Through My Room” which is so beautiful, and touches right into my soul with its very simple instrumental accompaniment and Frida’s rich and yearning vocal performance. On the whole, this album is a MUST HAVE for anyone even remotely interested in music as it contains rich harmonies, memorable tunes and a rich depth of sound to the songs.Read full review
The original albums with updated fonts and in a digipak with bonus tracks. They are beautifully done from 2001. Includes a booklet. The Visitors is one awesome track to experience. The 8th and final studio album.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Said to be in 'very good' condition. I'd call it excellent. A small indentation in the cardboard case. The disk itself looked new.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
You don't have to be an ABBA fan, this is excellent music pure and simple. From the creative genius of Benny and Bjorn to Agnetha and Frida's combined vocal brilliance and producer Michael's powerful compilations, this CD absolutely rocks!
