I'm using the same criteria to rate this disc that I did in an earlier review for "ABBA-The Collection". The only good thing about albums of this nature is the possibility that a new generation might be exposed to some classic tracks, but that's where the praise ends. I'm a major ABBA fan, and I'm tired of seeing the same tracks re-released over and over and over again, just to line the pockets of the record company. I wonder just how much of a hand the members of ABBA really have in these projects? As I've stated before, Polygram (and ABBA) would better serve the legions of fans out here by finally releasing all those "missing" tracks that can only be found on poor quality bootlegs. (Including "Just Like That", "Every Good Man", "Under My Sun", "I'm Still Alive...(solo Agnetha track)", "Opus 10",etc...just to name a few) We've already got "The Collection", "ABBA Millenium", "Love Stories", "Love Songs", "Gold", "More Gold", "Forever Gold" (yikes!), etc, etc, etc...... How many more configurations can there possibly be for the same songs??
This is definitely a good CD for people who are casual fans of Abba and looking for the essentials. The hits are here *although the sound quality could be better.* Of course, you get the ever-so-famous "Dancing Queen." Everyone knows this song. You also get many of their other great songs including two of my personal favorites "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "Take A Chance On Me." Plus one of the best songs of their career "The Winner Takes It All." My complaint would be that I would rather have seen them take off one of the lesser songs and put on "Lay All Your Love On Me" but oh well.
If you are looking for a little more, I recommend the "Gold" collection. Definitely worth a few extra bucks.
It's not that the songs on this collection are bad, it's just that this album is very weak for a "Best Of" collection. Both "Abba Gold" and "ABBA More Gold" are similarly affordable, and both are much more complete than this Millennium collection.
Just off the top of my head, "Gold" has "Lay All Your Love On Me," "Money, Money, Money," and "Voulez Vous." If you're going to choose between a greatest hits compilation, this "Millennium" collection is sadly lacking!
I love this CD. I only like a few of the Abba's songs, and this has all my favriotes. I think it is hard to find an Abba CD on a budget. This is the soulotion!!!!!
Not much more to say say. I am an ABBA fan. Powerful, uplifting music. Makes you want to get up and go!
