It's fun to listen to. They recall a distant time. Album contain a few songs that are known by people all over the world.

I never get tired of any ABBA album. That being said, I don't find any of them to be that great, either, haha.
Voulez-Vous's probably my favorite.

ABBA is harmless fun...
But it's weird to think of this as a world album.

I never could stand Abba, and I honestly cannot understand today's fashion of rehabilitating them as "more than just a pop band". "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is acceptable, the rest I really can't listen to.

There is a difference between 'fun' and 'insultingly simplistic'. Just IMO, but FUN albums consist of Pop Tatari, Trout Mask Replica, Half Machine Lip Moves, Horses, and The Modern Dance, probably among others I haven't heard or thought of at the moment. None of them needed a blatant pop formula to accomplish catchiness and ... 'fun'...ness. It's all in the creativity, and ABBA severely lacks it. ...in my opinion.

ABBA could of just been another forgettable european pop act.
Luckily for them, they had Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, probbly one of the better pop songwriting duos. Because of this, thye were able to become one of the best, if not the best, pop groups of the 70's.

Harmless fun. Except for the fun bit.
