5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wonderful!, July 25, 2000

By 

Kirstie C. (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abba Generation (Audio CD)

Don't be fooled by the negative amazon review. I've heard Abba, and these teenagers are just as good in my opinion! They sing a little faster, and give it a modern beat, which is why it is such a seller!

1. Mamma Mia - This song has been a hit, and I can see why! Catchy tune and lyrics, and you just have to sing!

2. Gimme Gimme Gimme (A man after midnight) - Another one of those songs you just have to sing to. Sends your foot tapping, and very catchy!

3. Super Trouper - This song gets me motivated and feeling happy. Great song!

4. One of us - I absolutely loooove this song! It's my favorite! It stuck in my head for hours, this is a great song.

5. Voules-Vous - I didn't like this song very much, and I didn't really in the original either. No comment.

6. SOS - I didn't like this song much either.

7. Dancing Queen - No wonder it's been a hit! It's sung a little faster than the original, but I like this better. How can anyone *not* sing this song?

8. Take a chance on me - This is a nice song worth hearing.

9. Lay all your love on me - This is nice song, and they sing well IMO.

10. The Name of the Game - I love this song too. Nice lyrics and sounds pleasing to the ear.

11. Our Last Summer - Another one of my favorites, it's a song I love to listen to.

All in all, this is a great CD, I was very happy with it. Very catchy tunes which would appeal to most teenagers now a days, and it's not a waste of money. I give it a five star.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you can't dance to this, check yourself into a morgue!, December 27, 1999

Before listening to this disc, you should be a little open minded. This is NOT ABBA, so if you're expecting to hear ABBA, you will more than likely be disappointed. But if you love dance music, and love ABBA, this disc will absolutely work for you! My biggest pet peeve about ABBA cover groups has always been the loss of integrity from the original songs, but the A-Teens hold on to that integrity very well and have even managed to enhance the orignals for the better in most cases. My biggest wish is for groups who insist on remaking ABBA songs to please add value to the music, and the A-Teens have more than exceeded that expectation for me. This ranks very high with me, along with my other favourite ABBA cover band Abbacadabra. While Abbacadabra does a better job on some of the songs, A-Teens makes up for it in others. It all depends on what you like to hear. As a DJ, I always determine what to play based on the crowd. If the crowd is younger, I'll play A-Teens. If older, I'll play Abbacadabra. But in either case, I will play A-Teens' Super Trooper and Mamma Mia, for they just plain rock! You won't be disappointed with this disc. Get up and dance to this: if you don't, you must be dead!

Well, the only song that I liked by ABBA was Dancing Queen. Well, I was at a local music store and I saw a Dancing Queen single by the A Teens. I wasn't sure if it was the same song, but I picked it up anyway. I played it in my car and was blown away. They did a good job keeping it sounding alot like the original, but gave it a modern fling also. I went back to the store and bought the full length. I was very impressed by the the cd. It was awesome. From beginning to the end it was awesome. I couldn't stop tapping my feet. There are more than just looks to this group. They have something. They are gonna be big. The songs are so dance floor friendly. Mamma Mia, Gimme Gimme Gimme (my fave), SOS, Dancing Queen, and Take A Chance are the best songs on this cd, and the rest are just wonderful. IF you buy it, you will not be disappointed.
