Let's go girl
It's a beautiful place this world
Come on baby let's dance
To the rock'n'roll band

ABBA's debut album is packed with good mood.
And here's a fun fact: did you know that one of the songs was recorded for the Swedish soft porn film Inga II: the Seduction of Inga?

In 1974 ABBA entered the big stage and won the Eurovision Song Contest with Waterloo, which became their first global hit.
I have never ever listened to the Swedish version of the title track, but I am doing so now and it adds another layer of awesomeness.
"Jo, jo
I Waterloo Napoleon fick ge sig"
(German speakers might giggle now)

Wait a minute, these are some nice guitars 🎸
The song totally reminds me of Queen's "Coming Soon". Queen influenced by ABBA confirmed.
I also get some Kiss from it.
Watch Out might be the most metal song ABBA ever made.

Hell yes what an album!
There was even a rock song on it.
And the King Kong Song.
What else does an album really need?

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Did they know that they'll get divorced some few years later?
Anyways, I absolutely love the sound of the bass on their albums. It's such a distinct 70s bass that sounds even better on vintage speakers. At least that's what I could imagine.

Now this is what my journeys are all about: to find hidden gems I never ever heard of.
Man In The Middle is a very groovy funk-rock song, almost like a jam. That's totally my jam!

A medley closes a fantastic album called "ABBA" made by ABBA.
Man In The Middle was my highlight, but overall it's a pretty strong album. Seems like they were experimenting a lot (Tropical Loveland, Rock Me) so this album had some surprises left for me.
