ABBA - Voyage

[ZjermGiraffe]

It’s going to be fucking awful and totally unrequired but feel free to convince yourselves otherwise

I think this is going to age VERY WELL

 

[Zu]

I think this is going to age VERY WELL

I don't mind being wrong BEING A PISCES but will it be better than 'The Day Before You Came'? NO IT WILL NOT

I mean I do think a benchmark is essential

 

[lolly]

Frankly I need Zu to temper the raptures I'm going to have to face at home

 

[THEY CALL ME GAJA]

Yes, and ignore nasty hateful Uncle Zu, it's sure to be even better than The Winner Takes It All. And definitely not Suzy Hang Around part two.

Suzy Hang Around is one of their all time greats! True Scandinavian cruelty

 

[AGinAg (38)]

I've Been Waiting For You and Under Attack are my benchmarks

 

[straightorbroken]

Regardless of quality, I hope they don't hold back with the remixes - the more emergency services they are the better quite frankly.

 

[lolly]

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a single official remix.

 

[lolly]

 

[Ig Komme]

I wish they'd done the ABBA a bit bigger!

 

[lolly]

It does look a BIT like an album cover, doesn't it?

 

[lolly]

I wish they'd done the ABBA a bit bigger!

Oh I know, it's like ROLY'S FUDGE PANTRY all over again, isn't it?

 

[Zu]

I am quite liking VOYAGE even though it means next to nothing

 

[lolly]

I am quite liking VOYAGE even though it means next to nothing

Obviously I'm electing for the French pronunciation

 

[Zu]

I did have

Obviously I'm electing for the French pronunciation

Well BIEN SUR

 

[Zu]

Rather than VOYEDGE

I've seen reports of events in London, Tokyo, Sydney and Berlin next Thursday evening.

Is this basically going to be the dreaded holograms doing the ON TOP OF OLD SMOKEY MEDLEY?

 

[lolly]

And Vienna

I'd be AMAZED if they performed anything live themselves.

 

[Zu]

I'd be AMAZED if they performed anything live themselves.

PLEASE GOD NO

Even though it's been conveniently forgotten, we all saw THAT video

 

[lolly]

And New York

I wonder if all four of them will be in Stockholm?

 

[SystemAddict]

Hopefully, it’s not a case of “Before you die, you hear”.

 

[SystemAddict]

Anyway, I think it would be nice of A*Teens to Help the Aged by contributing one of their songs to ABBA. “Back for More” would make a good comeback single.

 

[Zu]

At least it was only £7.50




Sometimes it's just better to MOVE ON

FAKE NEWS (apparently, Pingu’s words not mine)

@Moderator @Administrator

I don't understand the request

 

[Zu]

@Moderator @Administrator

I DON'T CARE

 

[Zu]

I don't understand the request

 

[lolly]

That song brings back memories of singalongs at the conclusion of the disco at the end of Abba day.

That performance as well

 

[Pingu]

I don't understand the request

Posting fake news.

 

[Zu]

Who’s been editing my thoughtful, well-considered posts?

FAKE NEWS MY CUNT!

 

[Zu]

I always knew that @Pingu was sick and rotten

The real Pingu to SUE

 

[Zu]

What’s with this demented consensus on thinking that a reunion is a GREAT iDEA?

Sometimes what you did was GREAT FOR THEN but NOT SO GREAT FOR NOW

Like a roller in the ocean…

 

[lolly]

I'm not sure it IS a great idea, but it's happening and I'm sure as fuck along for the ride.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

According to this guy (who used to play with Abba) we're getting an album (around the 5.30 mark)

 

[Zu]

The Voyage business does seem to suggest album…

 

[Zu]

As far as I’m concerned it all ended with Frida quietly sobbing in a darkened studio at the end of ‘Like An Angel…’

FIN

 

[Pingu]

I'm not sure it IS a great idea, but it's happening and I'm sure as fuck along for the ride.

I think they’ve got the right idea to be honest. I’d be worried if they were actually getting back together to perform and go on tour, but a few new songs won’t be enough to detract from their back catalogue even if they are rubbish - it’s not like Headlines ruined the Spice Girls’ legacy.

Not to mention what a huge money-spinner this hologram thing is surely going to be.

 

[Zu]

Why do people always want more when what came before was more than enough? See also: SOFT CELL. No Marc, we DON’T want another album thank you very much darling

I think whatever new stuff we do get will very much be a one off to sell the ongoing avatar business, and the avatars will very much be the 'memory' they want to leave.
