The irresistible "Waterloo" walked away with 1973's Eurovision Song Contest. Elsewhere, the group's output was more variable--veering between would-be calypso ("My Mama Said," "Sitting in the Palmtree"), Alice Cooper pastiches ("King Kong Song," "Watch Out"), and a little pristine, melt-in-the-mouth pop (the deliciously light "Honey, Honey"). The full-on, piano-saturated "Gonna Sing You My Love Song," however, indicated where Abba's hearts were leading them: toward the almost Irving Berlin-like precision of songs such as "The Name of the Game" and "The Winner Takes It All." ~ Everett True Tracklist: 01.
