Voyage

It’s like they never left

I’ve waited 40 years for new music and it’s clear they still have it! This album can stand toe to toe with any previous ABBA album. I never tire of hearing Frida’s voice.

I bought the physical CD while looking for their earlier albums and was joyful when I found it! Like their other albums, Voyage is another one of my favorites. I breathe and sleep their music. On my way to work, home, groceries. People driving by see me dance in my seat but I don’t care because I’m so happy in the moment thinking how much I love ABBA’s music. As a person who studies music and plays , I love and admire their musicality. Just pure love for ABBA and wish them a healthy life. Gracis ABBA Por la musica, los quiero mucho!

I ordered three copies of this album, when I first saw that it was available. And even though it was officially released on November 5th, I received it through the mail that. I immediately listened to the entire album and it did take me a while to appreciate it. The two sounds that had already been released earlier sound great and the first song truly reflects the history of the group, where they have been, what they have been through and where they are today. Too bad, that right after releasing the album, they said "this is it", no more. Don't Shut me Down takes me back to the upbeat songs they were known for in the 70's and 80's, happy and hopeful. This song also shows a lot of maturity in how their music has developed. The song "No Doubt About It" reminds me of my parents and how they used to argue, only because my mother had to win the argument. It's almost a little funny. And quite honestly, my favorite sone on the album is "Ode to Freedom". Don't ask me why, but I love being able to hear the individual voices from the ladies and how they both blend together so well. What is really interesting about this album, is that they stayed true to who they are. They did not try to make it sound like ABBA of the 21st century, but a more mature sound from the 70's. I oftern tell people it is not an album I would write home about because you have to simply appreciate it for its simplicity and the mature and sophisticated sound that ABBA is known for. And this is coming from a group, whose members are from the 70's and are now in their 70's. Not many groups can achieve that these days.

Nobody can craft pop songs like ABBA! The album is amazing from start to finish! This is the most satisfying return/reunion I’ve ever witnessed in any band. Voyage is an instant classic! 🔥❤️

They are back. Real music, real singers, real melodies. The comeback of this century without a doubt. Thank you for the music ABBA!

Only old folks would like this music.

Just what i expected from abba. They sound like songs from way back when they were already, well …..you know, big stars. Nothing different from the stuff they sang 30 and 40 years ago. I was really hoping there would be a more updated sound and approach. I bought the album because I’ve been a huge fan and always hoped for a reunion. Sadly, this album feels and sounds like songs they’ve written way back then and finally tried releasing. There’s absolutely nothing new to their sound, rhythm, voices and style. There is a newer Christmas song on this release (little things) which is kind of nice. But yet still very abba sounding from the first note.

I’m actually in tears of joy from reading these reviews. The first one is probably perfection… yet, like ABBA, they just keep coming. Everyone says a similar thing. These four are the magical soundtrack of our youth and their sound has uplifted our spirits. The lyrics are sometimes so clear in meaning as to feel like they were speaking right to me… I have no idea what it would be like to meet them… I would just hope they like hugs. Oh right. Don’t think. Buy the album. :)

Received this as a gift from my daughter with whom I share a love of ABBA. At first I wasn’t sure I would like it, because, you know….you can’t go home again….but oh yes you can! Give it a try, if you aren’t sure, give it a couple more tries. It will seep in under your skin and before you know, you will be dancing and singing and feeling like you want to slip on those bell-bottom, hip-huggers, tie up your shirt, kick off your shoes and let your hair down. And oh the lyrics, like ear candy!
