Thank You For The Music. YES! Two in a row that are really good.
First problem. Too many of the songs were sung only by men. In ABBA the vast majority of the songs were mainly sung by Agnetha and Frida. Some of the songs were only musical. One of the songs is not even directly related to ABBA as it's actually from Chess. On The Winner Takes It All the singing was good but the song was ruined by the supposed musical background.
Waterloo had good singing but again was damaged by the overdone musical background. Dancing Queen was sung really well but, again, the song is damaged by a fake and ever-continuing clapping sound. Reminds me of an old 78 rpm that got stuck.
>One of Us had an amazing orchestral opening. Sounded like something from a Broadway show (ala Phantom of the Opera.) The woman who sang was also really, really good. The orchestral background continues and it actually works. Really gives the song extra oomph. Thank You For the Music has the same comments as One of Us. Really, really good.
3 songs out of 32 were really good.
