Review - Amazon.com
Nineteen seventy-nine was a year of tremendous change for Abba. Agnetha and Björn had separated, their incredibly popular Abba: The Movie had consolidated their worldwide success, and as if all that weren't enough, they "went" disco. Songs like "Voulez-Vous," the upbeat "Angeleyes," and more throwaway "Does Your Mother Know" embraced the style wholeheartedly, leading some fans to worry about Abba's future for the first time. Where had the pure pop thrill gone? they mourned. "I Have a Dream," meanwhile, with its choir of children singing (recorded live at Wembley Arena, at the final concert of Abba's last world tour), was possibly the most saccharine song they had yet produced. Yet any disc that contained the majestic "Chiquitita" couldn't be completely written off--and the awesome Super Trouper was only a year away. --Everett True

- Five stars only for Angeleyes and Chiquitita

I love ABBA, for me they are the greatest band of the 70's. However, if it wasn't for Angel Eyes and Chiquitita, it would have been the worst album for me. I has two of their greatest songs but also two of their worst songs: The King Has Lost His Crown and Lovers (live a little longer).

- Take it now. Don't leave it.

Voulez Vous is one of the best, if not the best, ABBA album. I know everyone says "Super Trouper" is the best, and "Super Trouper" (the song) is great too, but this transcends it completely. "Voulez Vous", "As Good As New", "Angeleyes", and "Lovers (Live A Little Longer)" are all excellent. Also "The King Has Lost His Crown" is great. Get it, and I really don't care voulez-vous (would you like to) or not. Get it anyway. Fave Tracks: Voulez Vous, As Good As New, Angeleyes.

- abba in full eurodisco swing

a consistently good album throughout, this one sees abba most openly embracing disco; 'voulez-vous' is among the group's best songs, 'chiquitita', although corny, is still totally engaging, and the vocal harmonies in it are amazing, with frida beautifully complementing agnetha's lead; 'if it wasn't for the nights' and 'lovers' are the two most obvious disco flirtations here, both fine, as is 'the king has lost his crown', an overlooked album track which nonetheless features a lovely melody; 'does your mother know', with bjorn on lead, not among abba's best songs, is marred by a childish lyric

- Voulez-Vous!

This album is disco-y, but who cares? The best among this album are:

"Voulez-Vous"

"Angeleyes"

"The King Has Lost His Crown"

...and definetely...

"If It Wasn't For The Night."

This a great dance/pop/disco album that I strongly recommend. But I truly think that all of these songs you'll be dasncing to in the days after you've received it. Voulez-vous to ABBA too! This is a wonferful album with great lyrics that is JUST GREAT! Well that's really all I can say.

- DISCO/POP NEVER GOT MORE PERFECT!

Amazing, beautiful, and emotional melodies, perfect beat, sensuality, hapiness! Bjorn & Benny's songwriting at their best!
