Title: Another Generation
Product review: Bursting on to the scene towards the end of the last decade, the A-Teens aimed to take the songs of ABBA and bring them to the youth who didn't have the chance to enjoy the originals. Now, these covers aren't a patch on the classics, but who said they tried to be. It's a pretty daunting task to take the songs loved by so many and try to make them shine, and the Teens don't feel to excite. The vocals are perky and fresh, and they work on the chosen tunes pretty well, with highlights including their spirited take on the disco gem "Dancing Queen", the forceful "Lay All Your Love On Me", the romantic "Our Last Summer", and the bouncing "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!". Their takes on "Super Trouper" and "The Name Of The Game" can appear flacid at parts, but on the whole, this is flawless pop production and tribute. Wisely, though, the band moved on from their ABBA covers following this release to make a go at doing it with their own stuff. It's a nice pop album, not essential, but nice enough.
