ABBA (sometimes written as Abba) is the eponymous-named third studio album by Swedish pop group ABBA, released on April 21, 1975.It contains well-known hits such as "Mamma Mia" and "SOS", and launched them into superstardom in Australia. Even though the Eurovision Song Contest win the year before made them a household name in Europe, this album began to make them well-known in other parts of the world and made them leave the One-Hit Wonder stereotype that many Eurovision contestants usually suffer from.It is also notable for its Genre Roulette nature. Besides the straight pop they were known for, this album dabbles into genres such as rock and roll ("Mamma Mia", "Hey, Hey Helen", "So Long"), schlager ("Bang-A-Boomerang"), and even reggae ("Tropical Loveland").Interestingly, this album contains a high number of unreleased tracks that didn't survive recording sessions. "Baby" was re-written as "Rock Me", "Crazy World" and "Medley: Pick a Bale of Cotton/On Top of Old Smokey/Midnight Special" were used as the b-sides and are featured as bonus tracks on the 2001 re-release, and "Here Comes Ruby Jamie" and "Rikky Rock 'N' Roller" have yet to be released in full.Track ListingSide One "Mamma Mia" (3:32) "Hey, Hey Helen" (3:16) "Tropical Loveland" (3:05) "SOS" (3:22) "Man In The Middle" (3:00) "Bang-A-Boomerang" (2:50)Side Two "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do" (3:15) "Rock Me" (3:03) "Intermezzo No. 1" (3:48) "I've Been Waiting For You" (3:39) "So Long" (3:06) 2001 CD re-release bonus tracks "Crazy World" (3:48) Medley: "Pick a Bale of Cotton/On Top of Old Smokey/Midnight Special" (4:21) | |

Mistaken for Cheating | |
| ABBA (Album) (Music) / int_2d7ef923 | comment |
Mistaken for Cheating: Subverted in "Crazy World". The narrator thinks his lover is cheating on him and confronts her about it, but then the girl calms him down and tells her that it's only her brother who has come to stay. | |

Ambiguous Ending: "Mamma Mia" ends without revealing if the narrator finally realized it was a bad relationship and left for good or couldn't help herself and just fell into the cycle of breaking up and getting back together all over again. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
| ABBA (Album) (Music) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
"I've Been Waiting for You" has several undertones of this, although the lyrics are left ambiguous whether the narrator is only secretly crushing on the man or indeed considering making him agree he is in love with her and that he belongs to her. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| ABBA (Album) (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: Probably because of the hype of the Mamma Mia! musical, a lot of people don't realize that the upbeat-sounding "Mamma Mia" is a sad song about a couple that end their relationship because one of them had an affair. The rock 'n' roll-like exciting feel from "Hey, Hey Helen" about a divorced woman and her children that want to see their daddy that may or may not've abused her. | |
