Amazon.com essential recording:
At the height of their success, ABBA were second only to Volvo as Sweden's biggest export earners. Arrival (1977) sees the quartet just finding their stride, after a year of relative obscurity which followed the success of 'Waterloo,' their 1973 Eurovision Song Contest winner. Like their '70s peers ELO, ABBA knew the value of tunes, tunes, tunes. Arrival's hits include the glistening, full-on sheen of 'Knowing Me, Knowing You,' the irrepressible, piano-led disco stomp of 'Dancing Queen,' and the almost Cabaret-esque sarcasm of 'Money, Money, Money'--all three cowritten by manager and mentor Stig Anderson. The album ends, meanwhile, on an almost Celtic theme with the soaring, wordless title track. Arrival is superconfident and superpolished, and was an unstoppably chartbound record of its moment. --Everett True

Rating:  - "Arrival" a textbook of pop genius
"Arrival" is rife with great songs, performances and instrumentation. If you're new to Abba, start with this album. From the concert hall sound of "Dancing Queen" to the instrumental closer "Arrival", this album plays effortlessly through the whole pop spectrum . Benny and Bjorns music will continue to enthrall and entertain new audinces for years to come. For my money they were the Swedish Lennon/McCartney.
Rating: - ABBA Arrival
I was an ABBA fan from the beginning and remain so to this day.When Arrival hit the States in 1977, I was proud to see them turning up on juke boxes in places like the Pizza Hutt in Lebanon, Tennessee.Dancing Queen was the big hit, a song in which a young girl gets out for some innocent fun. ABBA was at the root of the disco-mania of the 1970s even if this fact is not generally recognized in America. Besides being the biggest act western Europe has ever seen, their music penetrated and had a ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best.
This is one of the best pop music albums ever produced on this planet.The music of this band is uplifting yet serious at the same time.The vocals are top notch and the song writing is some of the very best. This is ABBA at their prime.
Rating: - Tiger!!
Everybody knows the hits "Dancing Queen", "Money, Money, Money", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", and "When I Kissed Teacher"...well at least should know. This album has all those four hits! ABBA, two girls and two men sing very good. The girls are lead singers...especially Agnetha but also Ann-Frida is singing lead parts...like in "Money Money Money". I guess this includes the most important ABBA songs excluding "Waterloo" and "Super Trouper". I have always loved this album. Most of the songs are familiar ... Read More
Rating: - No arrival to the top -- still being there! (4.5 stars)
This album is thirty years old when I am writing this review. It is, if possible, the best ABBA's proper original album to choose when you want just one (but why should you?). And although, being a kid of the 1980's, I was listening to a slightly different version here in Slovakia ("Intermezzo No. 1" instead of "Dancing Queen" and of course no tracks 11 and 12), this still has probably the most palpable ABBA magic in it. In fact, two big hits, "Knowing me, Knowing You" and "Money Money Money" are more ... Read More
