What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ABBA  "voyage"  cd/vinyl  2021

their nineth studio album...
their first in forty years which came out of the blue with little build up to its release...
a solid album of ballads and a couple of uptempo tunes thrown in...
the tracks do not diminish or embarrass their legacy at all and stand alongside their back catalogue reasonably well...
loving four tracks on here with a couple of blah tunes in the mix but hey, after all these years i forgive them for a mistake or two...
a solid album overall with an excellent cover IMO...
album would rate a respectable 2.2 if i were to score it...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

fave for me on this listen is the ode to a European garden visitor:
