Both male members of the group would soon remarry, but at the time, despite all of these changes in their circumstances, "The Visitors" was never intended as ABBA's swan song - they were to go on recording together.

The intention was to keep working together, but Andersson and Ulvaeus' growing involvement with their stage project, Chess, prevented any further work together by the group beyond three songs, "The Day Before You Came", "Cassandra", and "Under Attack" - they're all present as bonus tracks on the 2001 remastered edition, along with the orphaned B-side "Should I Laugh or Cry" from the same sessions as "The Visitors", and only add to the appeal of the original album. With "The Visitors", ABBA took several steps away from the "lighter" Pop music they had recorded previously and this album is often regarded as a more complex and mature eff. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number one, with 204 000 chart sales, 90% (180 000) of which were physical sales. Voyage" is recognizably ABBA music, a quality that's simultaneously thrilling, disorienting, and a bit corny. Their sixth album coincided with the marital split between Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus and the massively shifting currents in Popular music, with Disco, which had been on the wane, suddenly undergoing a renaissance t.ABBA have now shared details of ‘The ABBA Album Box Set’, which will celebrate their nine studio albums to date and be completed by ‘ABBA Tracks’ – a special record featuring non-album singles such as ‘Gimme! All the albums are also being issued on vinyl picture disc, although they are only available via Universal/ABBA channels (Sound of Vinyl etc.

A wonderful album, with a more diverse sound than later albums, but with an always winning performance! The Foundation purchases equipment that helps saving the lives of the military, including thermal imaging optics, quadcopters, cars, security, and intelligence systems. Pop fans, this one’s for you: All eight ABBA studio records plus a ninth LP containing extra tracks. On its release, "The Visitors" reached the top of the charts in a number of territories but was not as successful as their previous albums. Four decades after their last release, 1981’s The Visitors, their musicremains a fabric of our culture, withstage shows, cinematicblockbusters and even themed restaurantsbringing ABBA to new generations of fans.Such missteps prevent "Voyage" from being a triumph, yet they are true to the rest of ABBA's catalogue, so, in a sense, they're welcome. With "The Visitors", ABBA took several steps away from the "lighter" Pop music they had recorded previously and this album is often regarded as a more complex and mature effort.

Most of what's here is pleasantly upbeat Europop, with unusually good playing and a lot of spirit, all showing the influence of mainstream American and British Pop/Rock, including the late-era Beatles and early Elton John, and on the title track, a Phil Spector-proportioned production. ABBA have announced details of a new career-spanning box set which will celebrate their nine studio albums. If ABBA didn't have cheese ball moments, they wouldn't be ABBA, so it's reassuring that the group brings the lows along with the highs on this unexpected and delightful album!Abba" was a surprisingly effective synthesis of Pop and Rock styles, surprising because the non-English-speaking world had not produced such effective Anglo-American-style contemporary music before, at least for more than a song or two! Andersson and Ulvaeus managed to revive the big, dramatic melodies that defined a good portion of their catalogue (the way the opening ballad "I Still Have Faith in You" soars can cause goosebumps of recognition) and they do convincing nods at their lighter, danceable moments on the singles "Don't Shut Me Down" and "Just a Notion," yet they also offer reminders of their Eurovision origins with the overheated showstopper "I Can Be That Woman" and vaguely ominous, vaguely disco "Keep an Eye on Dan. ABBA celebrate the 50th anniversary of their debut album Ring Ring with a new collection of vinyl products. The "Abba" album saw ABBA dabble with Reggae on "Tropical Loveland" and includes a grand, Pseudo-Classical keyboard instrumental in the traditions of Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman with "Intermezzo No. Their sixth album coincided with the marital split between Agnetha Fältskog and Björn Ulvaeus and the massively shifting currents in Popular music, with Disco, which had been on the wane, suddenly undergoing a renaissance thanks to the 1977 movie S"aturday Night Fever".
