Title: Abba on Drugs
Product review: You can't help but make comparisons between Army of Lovers and Abba: Swedish, catchy-as-hell tunes, two guys-two girls and both greatly under-appreciated.But while Abba had its eye on pop respectability, Army of Lovers reach for outrageous high-camp. It's all here from the classic "Crucified" to the tongue-very-in-cheek "Israelism" all the way to the new re-working of the anthemic "Let The Sunshine In" (that video is not to be missed...)The second disc is a compilation of previously released extended mixes and it's nice to have them all in one place. The rare Tolstoy Farm version of "Candyman Messiah" is a great plus. It's great to have Army of Lovers back after a long wait. The only downside is that I miss Michaela's contralto deadpan.As an introduction to Army of Lovers, this is a perfect start. Next, try to seek out the out-of-print albums "The Gods of Earth and Heaven" and "Glory Glamour and Gold".
