 Great Music October 30, 2009
Mrs C (England)
Having seen Benny Andersson on the Jonathan Ross Show, this CD seemed interesting. At first play some of the tracks were a little disappointing. But it is not to be judged on the first play. It is delightful! Full of different music, a real variety and is great in the car with the volume turned up. Very glad I bought it.
 Not my Cup of Tea October 30, 2009

Benny and Bjorn can put out whatever they like. They were richer than God from just Abba and then along comes the stage show of Mama mia followed by the fairly feeble movie that earned billions.
This album is a mix of new songs and the best of 3 albums from Benny's Swedish folk band.
Whether you like it depends on what you think of Swedish folk....Well, I love folk from some countries, especially Croatia and Greece. But this I simply do not like at all - a mixture of Oom-Pah-Pah and over sentimental stuff. Must be something about Sweden that strikes me as dull and humourless - the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo trilogy also left me thinking that Sweden will not feature on my holiday wants list. Anyway, if thats the best of the three folk albums, I will thankfully pass on the rest. But give it a try - you might like it.
Then we get to the new songs which fall between Abba and most of Chess in quality. A couple of very nice pop songs. But here I have to say that , though they may be terific stars in their homeland, I thought both Helen Sjoholm and Tommy Korberg very weak vocalists indeed.Thin voices with too much vibrato for my liking. Again, give it a try ;you might like it. I will stick to the Swedish Chef on the Muppets for my entertainment from Sweden.
Remember that it's not Abba October 15, 2009
NedNedNed (Scotland UK Europe)
It's not Abba. You need to be clear about that before listening, and avoid comparing it with Abba's works.
However, it is an interesting choice, and the Story of a Heart track is very Abba-like. You are my man is well worth a listen, and Fait Accompli is excellent too.
I think this CD grows on you and I recommend it to anyone who likes folksy songs, show tunes, Abba style songs or light classical music.
It's good but it's not ABBA October 12, 2009
Mrs. L. Collinson (Surrey, UK)
I bought this for my partner as we had heard the title track on radio and enjoyed it, however, the rest of the CD is in a different vein. Anyone expecting ABBA will be disappointed
I enjoyed the CD but I agree with other reviews that reccommend that you listen to samples before buying.
Story of a Heart September 25, 2009
Charles Waite (Herefordshire, UK)
Benny and Bjorn are still going strong and are as fantastic as ever. This album is a fascinating mix of styles from pop and showtunes to folk - not just Swedish folk - there are all sorts on the album. Favourite track is definitely Fait Accompli which is presumably sung by Tommy Korberg (he is the only male vocalist listed) - this man has an incredible voice.
The inlay has some nice photos of woods but no lyrics. It does, however, list the band members.
