Arrival (Bonus Track Version)
“At their best, as on Arrival, ABBA were as mysterious as Bowie, as rococo as Phil Spector, as unbearably sad as the Smiths.”
The Visitors (Deluxe Edition)
“A fifth reissue of a 30-year old album needs something remarkable to make fans bite, and EMI promised just that for this edition of ABBA's risk-taking final record, which hosts their first piece of unreleased material since 1994, along with a set of uniformly terrific bonus tracks.”
ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit an essential greatest hits album, one that brought ABBA indefinite fame.”
ABBA (Bonus Track Version)
“I guess even the bestest can’t survive the test of time. unfortunately a lot of the more simple and silly production from their debut carry on to this one which isn’t bad but it just made me realize that it wasn’t a debut thing but more so the albums AT THAT TIME were generally similar.”
The Visitors (Bonus Track Version)
“I knew that it wouldn’t be as light as the earlier ones, that’s not a complaint more so an observation.”
Waterloo (Bonus Track Version)
“Half of the songs are a miss but the good songs are like REALLY good so they carry the rating”
