Widely considered the Swedish foursome's first classic album--and historically important as the first to use the now-famous mirror-B logo--1976's ARRIVAL contains three huge hit singles, the dramatic "Money Money Money," the downcast "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and quite possibly the band's finest four minutes, the absolutely perfect pop classic "Dancing Queen," a combination of Spectorian grandeur, McCartneyesque melody and the indescribable vocals of Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. 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.

Digitally remastered using 24-bit technology by Jon Astley.

Q (p.158) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his was the album that confirmed ABBA as superstars...[It] captures all the glory and innocence of ABBA's wonder years."
Q (9/01, p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Represents their apex..."

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Breakout!
This is ABBA at their best. Half the album is filled with huge worldwide hit singles ("Dancing Queen"-#1 in every country it was released in, "Money, Money, Money"-#3, "Knowing Me, Knowing You"-#1, "That's Me", "Fernando"-#1, & "When I Kissed The Teacher"). If that doesn't speak for itself, I don't know what will!!! 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. THANK YOU ABBA for giving us masterpieces such as this album, 'Arrival'.

5 stars excellent!
This is one of the best albums that Abba ever made. I love all of their albums but this one is exceptional. This album contains the instantly recognizable Dancing Queen and Fernando. Tiger and Knowing me, Knowing you are great songs too. I love the way that Frida and Agnetha's voices blend so perfectly...one complements the other.

Growing up in Sweden in the 1970's, this was the music we all listened to. I have most of their albums and have seen the group Arrivals performing ABBA music in Indianapolis. Thar concert brought back very nice memories.

Arrival album
CD $7.65  5 stars Audio Samples
Not quite the soundtrack to the Swedish foursome's film debut, ABBA: The Movie (directed by respected Swedish filmmaker Lasse Hallestrom), THE ALBUM combines several songs from the movie, including the deliriously bouncy hit "Take A Chance On Me" and the dramatic "The Name of the Game," with three songs from Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson's never-completed musical The Girl with the Golden Hair. These three songs are among the band's most intriguing, with "Thank You for the Music" serving as the band's unofficial theme song and "I Wonder (Departure)" one of their most affecting ballads. It's the near-violent, bitterly ironic "I'm A Marionette" that's the wild card. Easily the angriest song ABBA ever recorded, "I'm A Marionette" sounds in retrospect like a portent of the band's rancorous end less than four years later. Curiosities and all, THE ALBUM may be ABBA's creative highpoint. ABBA's fifth album was a marked step forward for the group, having evolved out of Europop music into a world-class rock act over their previous two ...

1979's VOULEZ-VOUZ, the Swedish foursome's sixth album, was probably their commercial pinnacle, as nearly half of the album's ten tracks became substantial hits. The discofied title track, the anthemic "I Have A Dream," Bjorn Ulvaeus' vocal showcase "Does Your Mother Know?" and the UNICEF benefit single "Chiquitita" were inescapable on AM radio ...

Principally recorded at Polar Music Studios, Stokholm, Sweden in 1980. Includes reissue liner notes by Carl Magnus Palm. SUPER TROUPER is ABBA's seventh--and next to last--studio album, and one of their most artistically satisfying. The album's chart-topping singles include the propulsive title track, "Lay All Your Love On Me" and the bittersweet anthem "The Winner Takes It All," which many rank with "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." as one of the Swedish foursome's masterpieces. The rest of the album continues the more reflective, adult themes explored by its predecessors, VOULEZ-VOUZ and THE ALBUM. It's difficult to separate the downcast melancholy of songs like "Our Last Summer" and "The Way Old Friends Do"--recorded live at the same performance heard on ABBA LIVE in 1986--from the time period's gossip reports of the breakup of the band's two marriages. Even with such considerations aside, SUPER TROUPER is one of ABBA's finest releases. Commercially, Super Trouper, ABBA's seventh album, was another worldwide blockbuster. "The Winner Takes It All," its lead-off single, released several months in advance of the album in ...

ABBA's third album, released in 1975, finds the group at the end of the first phase of their career. Having scored massive worldwide success with the bubblegum classics "Ring Ring" and "Waterloo" in the previous two years, the Swedish foursome continued that streak with the sweet "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do," the silly "Tropical Loveland" and "Bang-A-Boomerang." However, ...

CD $13.49  4 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
After the techno sensibility of Twisted Thought Generator, Velvet Acid Christ has brought forth a hard electro darkbeat offering in Hex Angel: Utopia-Dystopia. Velvet Acid Christ has returned to stylistic form with this release, but perhaps a step too far. Leapfrogging past the accomplishment of former success Fun With Knives, Hex Angel: Utopia-Dystopia jumps back and captures the twitchy goth-industrial of earlier material. Fans of Church of Acid will find the sinister beats, heavy samples, and thin synths of Hex Angel appealing, but something of the later Velvet Acid Christ sound is lost. "Haunted" provides a solid opening, with the contrasting dark bass and stabbing high synths on which Fun With Knives was founded. However, the third track and single release, "Pretty Toy," suddenly sets the mode to early Velvet Acid Christ, with signature overstated movie sampling, goth-esque synth voices, and a wildly flanged ...
