5. I Saw It In The Mirror

 

[GNL]

Big Coke advert vibes to this 'People Need Loving' song.

 

[lolly]

Right, here's where the album falls off a cliff. Definite contender for worst Abba song.

 

[Pingu]

Big Coke advert vibes to this 'People Need Loving' song.

Yeah I think they were going for that New Seekers kind of vibe at the start.

 

[Tisch]

The key change in people need love

 

[Pingu]

When I was listening to this yesterday I didn't recognise the bridge bit in the middle of the song and realised that I must ALWAYS have skipped before then.

6. Nina, Pretty Ballerina

 

[lolly]

We named our cat Nina after this song

Mr L wanted to name her after Hey Hey Helen originally

 

[Tisch]

My Spotify seems to have an issue in that it's playing a song with zero tune or melody. This can't be abba.

 

[Iguana]

The quality has dropped off a little bit it's still enjoyable.

 

[Tisch]

Oh Abba not kids noises

 

[GinAg (39)]

Nina was one of the first ABBA songs I knew.

GATEWAY DRUG

 

[lolly]

I'd have liked them to record Nina two or three albums later. The production really lets it down.

 

[GNL]

Nina, Retrained in Cyber

7. Love Isn't Easy (But It Sure Is Hard Enough)

 

[GNL]

I am not completely enamoured with this album

 

[GNL]

I did like that 'some of the time it gets rough' BANG though.

[Iguana]

Lots of brother chat

 

[Pingu]

Frida's only solo on this album... she does somehow manage to elevate the source material...

 

[Pingu]

From a 3 to a 5 at least...

 

[Pingu]

9. He Is Your Brother

 

[Tisch]

8. Me and Bobby and Bobby's Brother

This is reminding me of something. Another song from this era with lots of names and 'and's.... I might be imagining things

 

[Tisch]

9. He Is Your Brother

Bobby?

 

[Pingu]

I think when it comes to the stuff of this "early ABBA" sound (not counting Ring Ring), He Is Your Brother is probably the strongest.

 

[Iguana]

I think when it comes to the stuff of this "early ABBA" sound (not counting Ring Ring), He Is Your Brother is probably the strongest.

I think it's mostly the strength of Frida's vocal that has that ABBA twinge

[Pingu]

They were still performing He Is Your Brother well into their career so they must agree it had something.

 

[Iguana]

This one is pretty throwaway
