Album Notes & Community Reviews

A devastatingly frank masterpiece of pop songcraft, 'The Winner Takes It All' directly channels the real-life dissolution of band members Bj枚rn Ulvaeus and Agnetha F盲ltskog's marriage. F盲ltskog's impassioned, heartbreaking vocal performance against a sweeping, melancholic arrangement marks the emotional zenith of the group's later career.
