Disappointing September 11, 2008 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was disapointed with the cd because the songs werent the same as the movie and you didn't get the fun and the energy with it. Otherwise it was very well recorded and they all sound amazing just shame that they changed it so much. Think this is worth buying if you love all the songs on it and prefer a more mellow version. Can't wait for the movie to come out now
Mamma Mia - exciting, feel good, glad to be alive sound track August 21, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Being a stout ABBA fan from their glory days after winning the Eurovision with Waterloo I tread carefully when being injected with any take-off of their music. However no reserve needs putting in place in my opinion as this just comes across as feel good Abba one hundred per cent. Obviously we're never going to get the vocal range that Abba had but for feel good, solid enjoyment, love of music, crowd appreciation, this delivers one hundred and ten per cent. Abba appeal to all generations and will never lose their appeal. Be surprised if you don't find yourself joining in as it's hard to resist! Was surprised at some of the tracks missing from the film following the stage show but ultimately Abba haven't made a bad record so wasn't too bothered.
Meryl takes it all August 19, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Ok lets be honest, if you don't like Abba, if you didn't want to see the film / stage show then of course you're not going to enjoy this (why would you?) but for the rest of us this cd is a wonderful addition to an incredible film.
Firstly, on the negative side there are a few songs from the film which haven't made it onto the CD which is a shame as it doesn't feel complete somehow. However, to hear Ms Streep singing "The winner takes it all" is worth the album alone. The power, emotion and last note still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. All the male leads singing the lesser known "Our last summer" is a wonderful rendition and is sure to become a favourite song for those who may not have heard it.
My own personal disappointment is Pierce Brosnan singing "when all is said and done" which is my favourite Abba song and it has nothing to do with his singing skills, but they have slowed down quite an upbeat song and personally it doesn't suit the ballad treatment.
This album will have you singing along all the songs you loved from the film, and who knows, there may be a follow up CD with the songs they have missed first time around
Pure joy and pure ABBA fun
Mamma Mia! This is a catchy meatball! August 17, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My wife went to see Mamma Mia and since coming back has listened to the soundtrack constantly in the car.
My initial reaction was to not allow myself to enjoy it too much as it is just cheesy pop performed by film stars - but try as I may, I have to admit that half an hour ago I drove to the shops and listened to it, with the volume cranked on loud (but the windows firmly up).
This really isn't my kind of music, but despite any preconceptions - there are some really good performances on here of songs which are as infective as a virus.
Meryl Streep genuinely impresses with vocals that get the hair on the back of your neck bristling with her (generally speaking) gentle but incredibly strong voice. Everyone seems to be overly interested in Pierce Brosnan's singing 'ability' - and yes, he isn't going to carve himself a singing career. But he helps to bring this back down to earth, and at the end of the day - this is a fun musical, I could understand people feeling a bit miffed if he had a starring role in Mozart's Don Giovanni, but here in Mamma Mia - just accept it and enjoy it, he's not that bad - and it brings us regular guys one step closer to Bond!
In a nutshell: Abba is back in a big way at the moment. This is a portal to rediscovering some of the catchiest pop music of all time. It might be a bit cheesy, but there is a reason why this is so popular - it's actually quite good. This is a feel good album that will get the glummest face to open up and sing along, the melodies will embed themselves in the brain and force you to whistle them throughout the course of the day.
Damn them all! I didn't want to be stood washing the dishes tonight and humming 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' - but Bjorn and Bennie were melodically gifted geniuses and they've got me.
Oh No!!!!!!!!!!! August 10, 2008 4 out of 68 found this review helpful
I urge anybody with a brain to leave this cd where it belongs, in the bin. The movie was mindless trash and the cd isn't much better. I loved Abba, loved 'Muriels Wedding' so would urge anybody to buy the soundtrack of that instead.
