Originally issued under the rather unwieldy group title Bj?rn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida, Waterloo contains the first glimmers of Abba's future greatness--particularly in the buoyant, joyous title track. The irresistible Waterloo walked away with 1973's Eurovision Song Contest. Elsewhere, the group's output was more variable--veering between would-be calypso (My Mama Said, Sitting in the Palmtree), Alice Cooper pastiches (King Kong Song, Watch Out), and a little pristine, melt-in-the-mouth pop (the deliciously light Honey, Honey). The full-on, piano-saturated Gonna Sing You My Love Song, however, indicated where Abba's hearts were leading them: toward the almost Irving Berlin-like precision of songs such as The Name of the Game and The Winner Takes It All.
