Super Trouper is generally considered Abba's finest album. The overheated disco flourishes of Voulez-Vous were dropped and the sequencing was very nearly perfect. What's more, silly lyrics metamorphose into things of wrenching beauty. The overall tone is rather somber--the unraveling of the band members' relationships underscores every track--but as usual Abba turn melancholy into uplifting pop music. This digipack version of the 1981 album includes two extra songs. "Put on Your White Sombrero" was recorded during the Super Trouper sessions but was replaced on the album by the title track; it's in the band's Spanish vein and comes with a throbbing synthesizer hook. "Elaine," meanwhile, was the B-side of "The Winner Takes It All" single. An uptempo number, "Elaine" is far from being a throwaway. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Album Details:
24-bit digitally remastered digipak edition with extensive liner notes, lyrics and includes two bonus songs: 'Elaine' and 'Put on Your White Sombrero'.

- For The Love Of ABBA
To all of you who love ABBA and all great music from the 70's and 80's, this CD does not disappoint.ABBA is so much more than just the songs you most associate readily with the group, and this collection just goes to prove that.I LOVED this CD, and was so glad to be able to add it to my collection again - in fact, I still have the original album!So please, if you are a fan of all great music and ABBA is certainly that - buy this CD - you won't regret it.
Rating: - Feeling Like A Number One
Getting "Mamma Mia!" standards and favorites out of the way first:
Super Trouper- A great song that just feels magical.
The Winner Takes It All- the greatest of the relationship songs is one that anyone (including me) can relate to.
Our Last Summer- Another personal one from Bjorn detailing a young romance in Paris is another song a person can relate.
Lay All Your Love On Me- An upbeat dance song that gives a hint to the techno sound music would have in the eighties.

Rating: - The Password is "Underrated"
Strange as it may seem, but this chart-topping album is very underrated. Never fully appreciated by critics, this is actually as good as pop music gets. Filled with excellent album-only tracks like "Happy New Year", "Andante, Andante", "Me And I", every track here could of been a Top 40 hit if released as a single. Musically, the album sees ABBA taking note of the passing of disco, and returning to the straight-forward pop sound heard on the albums "Arrival" and "ABBA", but with much increased use of ...

- ABBA's Most Accomplished Album
"Super Trouper" is an album where all the previous experience and successes of ABBA show, making it the most accomplished release the group has ever put out. It does not mean, however, that it's the group's best offering by far. This honor would go rather to "Arrival", which contains crisper, stronger songs and also more immediate and catchy hits. Moreover, ABBA albums rarely (if ever) worked as one cohesive piece (to this they came close on "The Album").
That said, the penultimate studio album ... Read More
