ABBA's eighth and final studio album....
to me they weren't any good until voulez-vous, (sixth album)....
they peaked with super trouper the following year or me also....
they weren't kiddy-pop on these last three albums...
lots of relationship songs, makes sense when the marriages fractured and infidelities exposed
within the band...
its a shame that it takes personal problems to create fantastic albums...
I always thought that "brothers in arms" was the first album to be released on cd, but that is not correct,
this ABBA album was recorded digtally in 1981 and was the first album to be released in the new cd format
in 1982...
all up a pretty classy album (cd version contains four bonus tracks that are pretty good, but they weren't on the
original album so I wont post them)

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: head over heels
best track: when all is said and done
