Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released in conjunction with their feature film, ABBA's fifth studio release expanded their pristine Europop formula into remarkably ambitious, theatrical progressive pop territory. Showcasing complex multi-part suites and the iconic hit 'Take a Chance on Me', 'The Album' is a profoundly melodic, deeply romantic, and surprisingly introspective pop-rock journey.
