ABBA The Visitors [Remastered 2005] (1981)
The Complete Studio Recordings - Disc 08 of 11 : The Visitors\n2005 Polar Music International\nComplete Studio Recordings Box Released November 7, 2005\n\nOriginally Released 1981\nRemastered Edition Released March 16, 1999\nDigiPak Edition With Bonus Tracks Released October 16, 2001\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: ABBA's swan song was also perhaps their most musically sophisticated album. Although it was short on big hits ("The Visitors" and "When All Is Said and Done" charted in the U.S., "One of Us" and "Head Over Heels" in the U.K., with only "One of Us" making the Top Ten), it was a consistent record imbued with a sense of the pressures that were splitting the group (the title track was subtitled "Crackin' Up"). -- William Ruhlmann\n\nCD Connection Review\nFrom the muted sleeve of Abba's eighth and last album, with its pained front photo of the four bandmembers studiously avoiding one another's gaze in a darkened room, it's clear that 1981's THE VISITORS is a somber record. The disturbingly confessional minor-key masterpieces within, such as "When All Is Said and Done" and "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room," as well as the bizarre, paranoid title track, contribute to the feeling of darkness and alienation. Recorded as the band was imploding amidst romantic breakups, THE VISITORS has the beauty and melancholy of earlier ABBA albums, but only on the transcendently mournful single "One of Us" does the band reach the ecstatic heights of previous singles. Regardless, THE VISITORS stands as one of the band's strongest and most consistent albums.
This folk cd contains 16 tracks and runs 67min 48sec.
