Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) » for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them.Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. « S.O.S. » has a raw urgency in its chorus, and « Does Your Mother Know » draws its energy from classic ’50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don’t have to be Priscilla to swoon over « Mamma Mia » or « Dancing Queen. » And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on « The Winner Takes It All » turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered « Lay All Your Love on Me » is practically epic.–Steve Gdula
