Rating: - The Visitors
Abba's final studio album tends to divide opinion, but for me it was a fine way for them to finish thier active recording career together.
'One Of Us' was Abba's last major international hit and is probably the best known track here. The follow up song in the UK was 'Head Over Heels' which shocked everyone by peaking outside the UK top 20.
Was it all over for Abba?. Well, in terms of major hit singles it certainly was (in the US 'When All Is Said And Done' flopped also), but this album ... Read More
Rating: - Good if You Listen Carefully
And finally we come to the break-up album - the final studio offering from Abba as we knew them and another musical shift in direction. It's only when you listen to the various albums carefully that you notice a definite change to cope with the times and there is a feeling that a break-up after this album was inevitable with Bjorn and Benny looking towards new projects.

Rating: - Great album. Mamma Mia soundtrack isn't a patch on it!
The original and the best ABBA. Nobody can rerelease/rerecord these songs to make them better. Includes classics featured in Mamma Mia! the movie but the original is definitely the best in this case.
Rating: - An undiscovered gem
I've just downloaded this and I can't believe I missed such a cracker when it was originally released. 'One of Us' is just the perfect pop song and 'The Day Before You Came' has to win the prize for the best lovesong written while the writers were breaking up with their partners. Perfect pop.
Rating: - One of the best albums of all time by any band, ever!
The Visitors is one of the best albums ever made by any artist, ever, period. Right up there with:
-The Beatles - The Beatles (white)
-Beach Boys - Sunflower
-Bee Gees - Living Eyes
-Bee Gees - This Is Where I Came In
-Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
-Stackridge - Something for the Weekend
-Tears for Fears - Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.
Packed with amazing song after amazing song and including one of their best ever: "I Let the Music Speak". Sheer genius.
