ABBA - Voyage Anticipation Thread

[Economy 49,902]

With only 2 months to go till ABBA first album in 40 years I thought we fans (i know therea a few here) should have an anticipation thread for these Queens.

 

Lets discuss what we love about ABBA and how they left mark with their very high quality music

 

I was also considering doing a zoom ABBA party in November when it comes out for those interested but my old laptop seems to struggle with zoom so i dunno

I'm really excited to hear the album, I never thought they would release new music again. The 2 singles are fantastic 

I have tickets to see the show in London, can't wait!

Someone on PopJustice forums got the album and this is their review:

1. When You Danced With Me: Chiquitita meets Arrival. Mid tempo. Frida & Agnetha both sing lead. The instrumental is lovely.
2. Little Things: Christmas ballad about how one wakes up in he Christmas morning and be grateful. Very good track, sounds like a happy version of Like An Angel Passing Through My Room. Frida & Agnetha on lead although Agnetha is more prominent. The song ends with children choir.
3. I Can Be That Woman: Agnetha leads. Love ballad. I need more listen to decide if this one's good or not.
4. Keep An Eye On Dan: Agnetha leads. Upbeat synth-pop. This song is very un-ABBA but it's really good. You guys are not ready for the chorus & amazing synth in this song. The vocals in this song left me thinking Agnetha in her prime would have NAILED this. The ending piano sounds identical to SOS. The boys sang backing vocal here.
5. Bumblebee: Frida leads. Folk ballad. I don't really remember much about this song butFrida's voice is absolutely stunning here.
6. No Doubt About It: Classic ABBA sound. Upbeat happy disco song. Frida sings lead. God she sounds amazing.
7. Ode to Freedom: Grand epic full orchestral ballad. Very emotional. If Voyage was the last ABBA album I'm happy this was the song to end it.

Overall: I like the upbeat songs a lot more than the ballads. Keep An Eye On Dan with a little tweaks could be an amazing single. I'm gonna play the album a few more times before I give it a final score.

 

can wait you all it might leak because some cassettes already arrived
