Details: Amazon.ca 1980's Super Trouper was the fans' favourite--and no wonder. It was recorded at the height of the two couples' separations, thus adding an intensity and pathos to the group's already fearsome melodies. It contains ABBA's masterpiece and swansong--"The Winner Takes It All", one of the most beautiful breakup songs ever recorded, its bitterly reflective lyrics mirroring the emotional fragility of the group (in '81, Benny and Frida followed Bjorn and Agnetha into divorce court). For further pathos, there's the orchestrated, chilling "Lay All Your Love on Me", "Our Last Summer", and a nostalgic, tear-jerking "Happy New Year." Songwriters Bjorn and Benny were certainly laying some demons to rest via their music. There's yet another European No. 1--the title track--disco dance-ified to perfection. The end was fast approaching, but ABBA was still producing pop moments of sublime perfection. -- Everett True
