Join me later for the first of our ABBA album sync listens!
Hoping the ABBA fans who have lost all sense of proportion will join me, but also would love to see a couple of people who might not be intimately familiar with every one of their album tracks. It might help a few people with their ABBA rate scores, but apart from that, it should be fun to revisit what I think is one of their best albums tonight.
It’s Super Trouper!
ABBA’s 7th studio album, which sees them transition from the spandex and platform boots of the 70s to their perms and wooly jumpers 80s aesthetic, Super Trouper also sees them shift into mature territory.
As well as “that divorce song” the lyrics deal with themes ranging from fascism to split personalities, high society flirting and the gloomiest new year song you’ll ever hear.
They were still churning out the hits at this stage though, with Super Trouper, The Winner Takes It All and Lay All Your Love On Me all featuring on here.
Tonight we’ll listen to the 10 tracks on the main album as well as Elaine, which was relegated to B-side status but included on later deluxe editions.
I hope you’ll join me to listen along and maybe even send some rate scores afterward if the mood takes you!
We'll do this on YouTube; here's the playlist, hit play at 7:
