Book Reviews of Abba: The Complete Guide to Their Music

Book Review: Great book, full of fun information
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is an ABBA fan's dream: lots of arcane details with some gossipy tidbits tossed in, all rolled together with a list of every ABBA song ever recorded. Even though my ABBA-fandom was at its heights about 30 years ago, it's still a pleasure to read about each of ABBA's many songs. This book tells the reader what the lyrics are really about, what the atmosphere in the studio was during recording, and other information which lets me listen to the songs in a new light. The book also made me nostalgic, and even a bit sad - ABBA did have material for a "goodbye" album in them, but they just didn't have interest in recording it. Their departure always seemed so premature, and now that I have more insight into the lyrics of songs like "Cassandra" and "The Day Before You Came", it's obvious that their non-existent final album would have been one of their best.
