After rushing home with the LP on a cold dark evening, I sat in the light of the fire with my headphones on and never wanted it to end. I love "the visitors" and "soldiers". "When all is said and done" should of been a single in the U.K. and why was "should I laugh or cry" not on the album? It may of been ABBA'a last album but just imagine what "Opus 10" might of been with songs like "cassandra" "the day before you came" and Just like that". We will never know! |

This is a good ABBA Album. The last three tracks relating to 'The Girl With the Golden Hair' are daring both in ambition and musically, proving ABBA weren't your average pop group. The first six tracks are also pure gold, with the wonderful ballad 'One Man One Woman', the poignant 'Move On', the racy 'The Name of the Game', the cruisy US blues style 'Eagle' and of course the much-famed uptempo 'Take a Chance On Me'. A great post-tour album from the masters of modern pop music. |

This was my second best album before I lost it and stuffed it from reapeating tracks over and over and over. The best tracks were mamma mia, tropical loveland, sos, bang-a-boomerang, I do I do I do I do I do, I;ve been wating for you, and medley. The in the middle tracks are Hey Hey Helen, and rock me. And the worst tracks are man in the middle, rock me, and intermezzo no.1. |

My favourite ABBA album has always been 'The Visitors.' All the songs are so beautiful. It is sad because it was ABBA's last album, but that doesn't make it bad. I love 'I Let The Music Speak', 'Soliders', 'When All Is Said and Done', 'Head Over Heels' and 'The Visitors', but my favourite has to be 'One of Us.'What a fantastic album! |

This album had the best tracks ABBA recorded. It features Bang-A-Boomerang, a cheerful song with a theme of getting love and giving it back in return, like a boomerang. It also features masterpieces like SOS, I do, Mamma Mia and Intermezzo No 1 (an instrumental featuring Benny). The worst song is the try-hard ballad, Ive Been Waiting For You, but all in all no ABBA fan should miss this. |

It is very hard for me to pick. I like the earlier albums the best, I suppose as they have the most memories for me. Abba were huge in Australia as we all know. Arrival has the most memories for me, but I would have to say that "Abba" would be my favourite. I love "I 've been waiting for you, Rock me, Mamma Mia, So long..the list goes on. |

When I heard "Super Trouper" for the first time, I started to cry. "The way old friends do" is the most beautiful track on this album. This is a brilliant album in many ways. From "Super Trouper" right through to "The way old friend do", absolute craftsmanship. |

Hello! I am a huge Abba fan, and have been so since the age of 8 when they won in Brighton. I love all of their albums, but Arrival is by no doubt their best! I remember the day when my dad brought the record home after he had finished work. He and my mum have all the old Abba records in the attic. All worn out, my sisters and me played them over and over again. Arrival is the best, because it is perfect, and contains 3 of their biggest hits ever; Knowing me, knowing you, Money, money, money and Dancing queen. I love them, especially Frida. Super Trouper I think is their second best album. |

Waterloo was first released in Sweden on March 4, 1974. Recording sessions began in September 1973 and continued until February 1974. Sessions for what was to become the Waterloo album were well under way when Björn, Benny and Stig Anderson were invited to submit an entry to the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. The song they came up with was, of course, 'Waterloo'. This second ABBA album was the first to really show the group as a unified entity - indeed, it was the first album to be released under the new group name. Apart from 'Waterloo' the album spawned a hit in 'Honey, Honey'.

I find that every album is good and fantastic in its own way. But for me Super Trouper is the best ever. I also remember when I bought it when it was released. The reocrd store walls were decorated with the album. I played it every day like all new ABBA albums until I knew all lyrics. |

All the songs where amazing, my favorite songs of the album were Mamma mia, SOS, and Hey, hey, helen. My favorite album is ARRIVAL |

Voor mij behoort The Album bij de spanning van de film die ABBA maakte. Een kans om mijn helden supergroot op het witte doek te zien. Ik mocht niet naar het concert in de Jaap Edenhal, want te jong...(volgens mijn moeder) hoewel ik "al" 13 was! Ik heb de film een aantal keren in de bioscoop gezien en toen de film dan ook op dvd uitkwam lag ik bij wijze van spreke op de stoep van de winkel! De elpee neemt mij nog steeds mee naar de tijd van toen. |

Back in 1980 the Ring Ring album (dutch version) appeared in stores in Germany. I saved some money (I was 12 then) and bought it in the autumn. But soon after that I had to hate it, because Super Trouper was released, which I didn't knew before. I had no money left, so I had to wait until XMas, then I finally got it ;-). But today I really enjoy listening to Ring Ring - even more than to Super Trouper. Taste change. By the way, my favourite album is The Album. |

For me, this was always my favorite abba album. I am a fan since 1974 and it was so great to live the abbatime. I will never forget the day that "the visitors" was released. I went to the recordstore, came home, played the vinylalbum and I was sold immediatly. I loved 'I let the music speak" from the first time as my favorite abbatrack alltime. What a song. It turned out it would be their last studio album. But Abba gave us so many good music. I will love them for the rest of my life. Enjoy "the visitors" as much as I do. Regards Ronnie |

By far my favourite album, with The Visitors hot on its heels. A lively, balanced mix of the brooding (Knowing...), the happy (Dancing...), the sad, (My Love...), the nostalgic (When I Kissed...), and the mercenary (Money...), all a rabid ABBA fan could wish for and more! |
