Superb record ♥ Masterpiece. No its just she trained her voice to sound like this, nothing distorting her voice no gadgets just her own voice.

[@StudeSteve62]

The Visitors is my favourite ABBA album. Some very intriguing subjects for lyrics on it; this song was about dissidents being hunted down by the Communist authorities in the old Soviet Union...

[@OysterPir8]

YES! This was at the height of the Cold War tensions during Andropov's tenure and Sweden was not far away at all. A couple years after they put ABBA on the back burner, Benny & Bjorn went on to write the musical "Chess" containing similar things.

[@nickavenoso7851]

It’s my favorite ABBA album as well. It was unlike anything they had done. A lot of serious topics handled in the lyrics that they didn’t delve into on other albums. The Visitors, Voulez-Vous and Super Trouper are my top 3 ABBA albums and in that order as well. Just so much great music!

[@chelseacharger]

'I have been waiting for these visitors'. The Visitors being the secret police. There has been much debate whether a vocal effect (vocoder) was used. Anni-Frid, herself, said she manipulated her voice to have a 'sitar' sound. The way she sings this is of resigned acceptance of one's own fate. The song can also be used as a metaphor for paranoia. ABBA doing a song about political dissidents and morphing it into a dance-floor banger. Genius.

[@discogareth]

No vocoder was used, but a harmoniser was.

[@hahatoldyouso]

[@alanschechterly245]

[@OysterPir8]

"I have been waiting for these visitors. Help me...." That knock at the door and inevitable arrest when they find out you have been carrying on unapproved conversations... I know people who used to turn on the radio and even write on notepads so that their conversations couldn't be heard.

[@littleblackpistol]

East Germany?

[@gerhardvanderwesthuizen842]

The word you thought of is probably "vocoder", but apparently a vocoder wasn't used - it's just her natural voice trained to sound like a vocoder.

[@discogareth]

It wasn’t her natural voice. The vocals were treated with a harmoniser.

[@towertoofull5585]

Tremolo ?

[@janicemclelland1526]

I read that Frida had trained her voice for days just to get the right sound for the song.

[@discogareth]

she did do vocal preparations, but there’s still effects added afterwards.

[@craigh5709]

@@janicemclelland1526 yes you're correct..She practiced for weeks ( I think it was 6 or 7) to give the effect. It was amazing then and most definitely in my opinion a true masterpiece in writing and singing.

[@diegoshepherd3464]

My favorite ABBA song. So creative and original.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

This is experiemental and futuristic, far ahead of its time. I remember how shook I was when I heard it for the first time as a child: What happened to good old ABBA? What are they doing to me? Why is Frida singing like this? Now, I'm like: It's so hard to say which track is their best, but this is definitely one of the best, and her vocals are amazing!

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Same here! My cousins from Sweden brought me this album recorded to a cassette. I sat in my uncles car for hours listening to this. The very first time listening I was just like you said: what is this??! I don`t know but it sounds so damn good. And it is.

[@nielsulriksrensen9818]

@@tuijakarttunen9164 However, the songs they chose for singles are the most conventional tracks on this album (Head over hills and One of us), and in my opinion the most boring. At that point in their career, they were far better, when they pushed the boundaries of being 'ABBA'. The Visitors could have been an amazing single. And 'Should I laugh or cry' definitely should have been on the album :-)

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

@@nielsulriksrensen9818 well, I don't think Head over heels is boring at all. To me it still sounds fresh.

[@hansandresen4392]

As usual ABBA is unique and beautiful

[@staalmannen2522]

This is ABBA's last album. It's much more serious than the previous ones. It deals with separation, nostalgia, time that has passed. Not a happy record full of glamorous hits. But beautiful memorable melodies for the mature and sensitive listener. When All Is Said And Done and Slipping Through My Fingers are unforgettable.

[@JimmyRussle]

i grew up loving this album and i still do 40 years later. Its an overlooked masterpiece imo.

[@nickavenoso7851]

Not last anymore. Voyage! A great return!

[@ReneChewbaka]

The visitors refer to the Soviet KGB. When in the USSR the KGB would follow you, watch you and listen to you and sometimes take you away to the gulag... the door handle turning.etc...ABBA was banned from the Soviet Union after this song was released..

[@supastah68]

This is all Frida. This is all her talent.

[@malcolmbrown7683]

Maybe Benny and Bjorn as well?

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Absolutely. She was/is an awesome vocalist. Such a beautiful, full, powerful voice.

[@bretta2221]

She can even sing opera style. What a talent!

[@storageheater]

It kills me that The Visitors isn't the one that goes viral, maan it's so good. I never cared for Abba til I heard it, then it was channels like this that made me go "oh you know what, they knew what they were doing." Anxious and terrifying but make it extremely eurodisco

[@Eltonlaleham]

I absolutely like this song the visitors, in billions of ways and also I see it as very sci-fi series and sci-fi films and the lyrics are well awesome in billions and trillions of ways.

YES, MORE ABBA!! Keep it comin'! That is what introduced me to your channel, got me into your channel, and essentially made me a subscriber. There is so much to ABBA to explore. You have only scratched the surface.

[@gerhardvanderwesthuizen842]

The song is about political persecution in Poland (Solidarity movement) of dissidents (not "descendants").The narrator is terrified, waiting in her apartment for the secret police (the visitors of the title) to burst through the door. Probably the only ABBA song with a political message.

[@Lisa-M]

"The Piper", in a way, has a political message too.

[@gerhardvanderwesthuizen842]

@@Lisa-M Ok, haven't thought of it that way. Then there's "Fernando", who appears to be some revolutionary. "Soldiers" as an anti-war song may be considered political as well.

[@eduardooscar309]

From these album my favourite songs are "Slipping through my fingers" (the most emotional lyrics of Björn and the most sensitive feeling in Agnetha voice)

[@travellingshoes5241]

Great track. 'Soldiers' is my favourite. Took me a few listens to appreciate 'The Visitors'.

[@guyinnyc1]

With this song they really went into a techno/new wave direction. So different than anything they had up to that point. And I was MESMERIZED by this song. The driving beat, Frida's compressed vocals, the layered instruments, the eastern indian George Harrison-ish vibe, and on and on. This was also their first digital CD release as well. They had stated they were ironing out the kinks with the final output with this then-new technology. With a few subsequent tracks like I am the city they kept in that genre but never equaled The Visitors, the album and the title track. It's a real trip and a dark moody masterpiece.

[@Wojact_Taki]

It's a real trip and a dark moody masterpiece and how still relevant today. Just think about these words for a minute: In a terror evergrowing / Crackin' up / My whole world is falling, going crazy / There is no escaping now, I'm Crackin' up...

[@TheJdmcdon]

That’s actually her voice. She practiced for some weeks to be able to do the effect. There is no electronic manipulation at all.

[@calfstream123]

Fridas voice is compressed. That technique was used on ”Summer night City” as well.

[@hackapump]

The visitors are the guys pounding on her/their door, also referenced in their lyrics: "I have been waiting for these visitors".

[@pjsvenska3338]

I wonder if ABBA were inspired by The Beatles - Within You Without You here. At least they both draw from a kind of mysterious sitar sliding, Indian music sound. Pretty trippy.

[@birgittalagerstrom6264]

This was the start to go over to musicals. They starting to work with Tim Rice and did Chess.

[@adamdodgshon638]

My favourite ABBA song. I think the vocal effect is a phaser. I think if ABBA had released another album after this it would have been more synth driven even than this one. Their career seemed to fit with the predominant sounds of the time. They started off with a lot of rock and even folk then moved into disco and dance and I think much of this final album, released in 1982 alongside debuts by the likes of Depeche Mode and Duran Duran tapped more into synth pop. Not new romantic or new wave as those other bands but certainly having the synth lead an instrumental chorus is something Gary Numan and OMD were also doing. So yeah thy were right on point with their sound here in 1981.

[@bretta2221]

You can definitely hear the synth in their 1982 recording 'I am The City'. A good example of what their next album would have sounded like, had they produced another album. Now days along with Under Attack, Cassandra and You Owe Me One (all recorded in 1982) they are just bonus tracks on the 1981 album.

[@herrbonk3635]

It has some "synth" (and fusion) vibes. It's not all synths though, so very different from "synth bands". It's real drums, real percussion, real bass and real guitars on every track here, even real flutes, and so on.

[@hansandresen4392]

It's really fun to follow them from album to album - you can detect a distinct development of sound carrying the multitudes of hits

[@Wojact_Taki]

As far as I remeber (since it was a long time ago :-) every new Abba album was always an exciting step ahead. Will it be the same in case of their new album ? Hard to say since the concept of the Voyage is rather to come back :-)

[@hugolopez1669]

[@kimmokurikka2334]

Sound in Visitors album is much more mature than in the previous ones. Far from the discopop style in Voulez Vous or Arrival. But do not forget to react to I am the city. A song that should be in the album after Visitors. A song with quite different style.

[@jerrycote659]

ABBA signaling which direction they would have headed into with this song had they continued to record as a group. Fabian, this song would be considered synthpop and if you go back and listen to it again you’ll hear Frida singing “I have been waiting for these visitors” in response to your your comment about where the song title is in the lyrics. Also, the song title is “The Visitors (Crackin’ Up)”. The album was actually banned in the former Soviet Union! Good wholesome ABBA banned! Not too many people would believe that 😆

[@mikaelzakrisson5514]

It's like Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" combined with "Summer Night City" and some extra stuff...

[@politivonsyt7010]

about "equalizer" : ABBA used everything that was available at the time and every tracks available for exemple recording twice the voices and alterate the speed of one track to give the "voice-sound" they wanted to... About Frida's voice in "The Visitors" here what Carl Magnus Palm (THE ABBA expert) wrote in the Excellent *"ABBA The Complete Recording Sessions Revised and Expanded Edition"* Quote (p.395) : *"kinking off with an ominous synthesizer and feedback guitar introduction, it leads into an intruiguing verse melody, as delivered by Frida's Harmonizer-treated vocal performance, here the modal inflections lend it an almost indian flavour"*

Thanks for the ABBA. You can't really do too much ABBA. This last album - after both couple had split is their most mature. By the way I found a good docudrama on them called "ABBA: When all is said and done." ---> kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4vYc4Oapcqdo6c It's multi parts but really does a deep dive. It's the best I've seen. Might want to react to it. Pretty sure people would watch and probably learn new facts. Really well done. Anyway, Thanks again for putting up with us.

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Cheers eh! Can't wait for the live ones: Wembley with Does Your Mother Know leading onto Hole In Your Soul, and Why Does It have To Be Me live in Australia. Can't remember if I did Summer Night City the live version or not.

[@toddles9]

This song is about a potential alien abduction hence her 'alien' sounding voice with no vibrato and angular note-changes.

[@gerhardvanderwesthuizen842]

The album is relatively short (9 songs, 38 minutes). Only two songs are longer than 5 minutes - the title track and "I let the music speak". Single edit of "The Visitors" is about a minute shorter.

[@what-uc]

The vocals are definitely filtered, in a similar way to Agnetha's vocals on Under Attack

[@garethhusband1372]

The Visitors is the Secret Service coming to take away those dissidents in Russia who were trying to change Russia to be more open and free. It is the only song where they really strayed from their traditional ABBA sound. It took a bit to get used to that but it could have been more what they may have tried to do if they had not broken up. There may be more of this difference in some of the other upcoming songs on Voyage.

Excellent album, react to Soldiers, poignant lyrics, keeping in mind it was written during the Cold War

[@bobbyscott5162]

The Men of ABBA started letting Politics into their music in the early 1980's. The Soviet Union was a real threat and any opposition by groups of Russian citizens were stamped out by the Communists. This song is about a Russian Dissident who is hiding from the KGB [The Russian Secret Service ] but is expecting a knock on the door any second. Another Song on the Album is called Soldiers [Good Song}. Sweden is Not in Nato but does cooperate with Nato. Sweden is close to Russian and the Men remember back in 1940 the Winter War in which Russia invaded Sweden's small Neighbor Finland. The Lyrics about remembering a Cold December, you and I have reason to remember is about that invasion. The Men are saying to the people of Sweden that if a War starts in Europe against Russia that Sweden will have to dance also if the Bugler starts to play.

[@billkarnes948]

In reply to one of your Carpenters reactions, I suggested you listen to two post-Carpenters tracks by Richard. Going to suggest similarly regarding ABBA: there are some really great post-ABBA Andersson and Ulvaeus songs... I Know Him So Well Anthem Story Of A Heart The first two are from the A&U-scored musical "Chess". First one has vocals by Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson; there's a superb recording of the second one by Josh Groban. "Story Of A Heart" is the title track from a Benny Andersson Orchestra CD and has Helen Sjoholm singing lead; it is very ABBA-like indeed...

I totally agree. The condescension he shows while chastising non paying viewers is a total turn off.
