I seem to be able to get all the tracks individually, but if I look for the album, only the three singles are there.
The STOP FUCKING HATE likes it2 stars from The Graudian. Reviewer mentions PROBLEMATIC LYRICS and the fact that it feels stuck in the 70s as negatives. Feels HARSH. Will listen tomorrow.

Men writing songs from a very old fashioned perspective of what women are I believe is the general complaint. Misogynistic, we don't do that anymore etc. I'm normally on board but YAWN it's ABBA, they're 70 and that has been their whole SCHTICK for half a century.Problematic? I wonder what they mean? I mean if it just means a bit crap then sure

The reviewer also liked Adele's new single so MAKE OF THAT WHAT YOU WILL.
Admittedly, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson have never been the most enlightened lyricists on the feminism front. One of Us and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) are two Abba songs among many featuring a fraught woman desperate for any man to pop along and quick-fix her loneliness. Now four decades have passed, and one can’t help but despair at the chorus of I Can Be That Woman (“You’re not the man you should’ve been / I let you down somehow”) and that’s after its terrible lyrical twist about a female her husband is sleeping with, who turns out to be … a dog. Keep an Eye on Dan offers another miserable monologue from a pining divorcee, spoiling its fantastic mixture of Visitors-era iciness and Voulez-Vous-era disco propulsion.
Slightly BEWILDERED at this lady's reading of One of Us and Gimme Gimme Gimme! but okay.
Always knew they were a good 'unThe STOP FUCKING HATE likes it
Grauniad’s was a fairly bad faith hatchet job, but I sort of get where they’re coming from.
It’s a 3* from me at the moment
