6997. ABBA - Should I Laugh or Cry
From: The Visitors ; Year: 1981; Genre: Synthpop Finally had the opportunity to listen to the deluxe edition of my favourite of ABBA's records, and man, I am glad that I did. Not sure as to why I waited so long to hear these mostly b-side singles; a few of them I actually had, but this was not one of them. Completely new music to me, so it is a positive in all regards. As with all of their music from The Visitors , this one on the surface is a synth heavy pop track of the era, but is deceptively complex with a lot of nuance and small ideas that add up to something much more than meets the eye. I mean, if one does not want to pay attention to the deep and quite interesting music, it is a very fun and danceable track with lyrics concerning the ending of a close relationship, whilst being heavy subject matter, their delivery is, again, such that you can just sit back and enjoy or delve deeper and enjoy just as much.
