The Visitors is the eighth studio album by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released on 30 November 1981. With The Visitors, ABBA took several steps away from the "lighter" pop music they had recorded previously and the album is often regarded as a more complex and mature effort.

After a string of international hits, ABBA had polished its trademark Eurodisco-cum-American pop sound to an almost blinding sheen. <i>Voulez-Vous</i> (1979) represents some of the last creative gleanings in this direction; subsequent releases by the Swedish foursome would betray more of a modern rock influence. If the formula is familiar here, it still delivers an exhilarating rush on tracks like “Angeleyes,” “Does Your Mother Know?” and “Kisses Of Fire.” A few unexpected twists are thrown in, like the sitar-like synths on “I Have A Dream” and the classical embellishments in “As Good As New.” Along with the breathlessly upbeat tunes are two standout midtempo numbers, the Spanish-flavored “Chiquitita” and the lightly-funky “If It Wasn’t For The Nights.” Agnetha and Frida achieve their typically delectable vocal blend, while Bjorn and Benny reaffirm their stature as pop master-craftsmen. <i>Voulez-Vous</i> has a certain over-ripeness to it, a sense that fresher ideas would be needed for the next project. But for those with an appetite for ABBA’s irresistible hooks and scintillating harmonies, this album is more than satisfying.

Super Trouper is the seventh studio album by the Swedish pop group ABBA, first released in 1980. It features the No.1 singles "The Winner Takes It All" and "Super Trouper". The album became the biggest-selling album of 1980 in the UK.[4]

瑞典是一个舞曲流行音乐十分盛行的国家，70年代有ABBA乐队，80年代有Roxette，而于1994年迅速窜红的“基地能手”（Ace of Base)乐队则把瑞典的流行音乐推上了又一个高峰。
Abba —阿巴，一个很怪的名字，它是一支来自瑞典的摇滚乐队，准确的说，他们的舞曲是最棒的，Abba乐队成立于1973年，成员是比扬·乌尔维斯（Bjorn）、班尼·安德林（Benny）、阿格尼莎·法尔茨考格（Agnetha）和尼弗利德林斯迈德（Annifrid），两位姑娘和两位小伙子，又恰恰是搭档和情侣，乐队的名字就取自他们四人名字的第一各字母。
乐队在没组之前，四位成员在各自的领域都有不错的发展，73年乐队成立后，为了能使自己的音乐走向国际，他们开始创作和演唱英文歌曲的历程。
Abba 的音乐旋律感特别强，轻松活泼的旋律使人回味无穷，配器和谐自然，主旋律音乐与伴奏音乐相互辉映，合而为一，多元化的风格也是成功的一大元素。Abba早期在舞台表演方面还显稚嫩，几乎毫无修饰的表现给观众，随着阅历的增长，你在70年代末看到的他们演出就有了一些舞台修饰的痕迹了。几经排练的舞蹈动作以及灯光音响的配合效果，同时也使他们的歌曲大为增色，每中不足的是，常用瑞典语的他们，要用英语来创作与演唱，难免会有所欠缺。
Abba 乐队的音乐受到欧美及世界人民的喜爱，唱片的销售量也是不可估量的。专辑《Abba》在还未发行时就在英国卖出了400万张，单曲《SOS》在全美排行榜名列第10，《妈妈米娅》、《再会》和《弗南多》等曲，都为乐队拿到了白金唱片奖，1976年出品的《Abba金曲选》销售量超过600万张，同年出版的《到达》专辑使他们的风格更倾向于舞曲化，Disco风格愈演愈烈，1977年的歌曲《指望于我》、《游戏之后》及79年的《你妈妈知道吗》反映良好，而 1980年的《超级骑兵》更加稳定了乐队在世界乐坛中的一流乐队地位。
正当乐队稳定发展的时候，Abba乐队于80年代中期解散，从寻求更好的独立发展机会，这使他们的歌迷们为之惋惜，但同时，我们也希望他们有更好的前程。
