Let’s take a bunch of Abba songs and do them in an almost metal motif. Who in the world would have ever thought of that idea? It’s either insane or genius. Well, I have to say it’s probably a little of both. I mean, there is little music out there more universal than Abba. No matter how you feel about the group there’s no denying the catchiness of their hooks. Somehow it works remarkably well when converted to a more hard rock arrangement. Quirky as this album is, it’s also very cool.
