Review Score: (10/10)
This is mid-career ABBA, at the peak of their powers. Although they obviously were still not confident enough to stretch themselves fully (we're talking about a marketing phenomenon here! they didn't want to prejudice their chances!) they still created the magical Name of the Game, a portent of their later, more melancholy work. The "mini-musical" is still pretty much an embarrasment, mainly due to the whole naff concept. Poor music fan from Norway just doesn't get it. That's ok, ABBA have enough fans already.
