Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

An Abba album with at least 3c massive bangers, cannot be said to be weak!: SOS, So Long, Mamma Mia. 2 smaller: Boomerang and Rock Me. They are pop Classics in their own right..
On the group's third album from 1975 Abba took a huge musical leap upward compared to their first two albums, which had been somewhat uneven, though without in any way being weak.
With two of the group's biggest and most timeless hits "Mama Mia" and "SOS" is the album can only be a five star release. On top of that are other big hits, which are almost as strong as the two. "So Long" is possibly the best rock 'n roll number ever recorded by Abba. "Bang-a-Boomerang" was only released as a single in selected countries, but it is a near perfect pop production, and quite on a par with many of the group's biggest hits.
"I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do" was also a big hit in many places. A retro-inspired number (a little Fats Domino), only to a certain extent featuring the well known, the Abba sound.
"I've Been Waiting For You" is a very nice ballad that anticipates the direction the group would explore later with songs like "Thank You For the Music", an obvious musical number.
"Hey, Hey Helen" is an attempt at more heavy tones - and for once the group is quite successful with this. A little overlooked gem.
A few numbers come slightly in the more trivial department, but you easily bear with this. "Tropical Loveland" and "Man in the Middle" I will put in this category, though I would not call any of them weak. The instrumental "Intermezzo no. 1 "is exciting enough, but may seem a little misplaced on an Abba album.

Straight-up embarrassing at some points; when they try to be edgy, or when they (god, why?) transpose their chorus when they sing it for the last time.
From now on they were unstoppable, releasing hit after hit. My favourite album from them but its hard to choose with such a wonderful discography. The first four songs and So Long are perfect !
This is their first "great" album. Both catchy and creative. Favorites are S.O.S. and So Long

A brilliant album, definately one of their best up their with Arrival, Visitors & Voulez Vous. Best tracks are the 3 singles plus I've Been Waiting...Rock Me & So Long.

ABBA is supernatural, i love Hey,Hey Helen, Crazy World, Tropical Loveland, Mamma Mia, SOS, Rock Me...
While ABBA hadn't quite yet perfected their formula that would come to brilliance with "Arrival", this album was an exponential improvement of the spotty first two albums.

Where ABBA began to properly gel, pop perfection!
