As one-joke album concepts go, "Gold" by the one-off Black Sweden works better than most. Don't know how many ABBA songs one really needs to hear performed in full-on head-banging fashion, but the performances here are skilled as any "real" metal album, and everyone sounds like their having tons o' fun. Worth it alone for their version of "Take A Chance On Me" a la Metallica.
No one's taking credit, but apparently genuine Swedish metal all-stars are behind this.
Figured I'd better post this as copies of this CD are literally going for hundreds on Amazon. (On American Amazon, at least. Maybe the streets of Sweden are littered with these?)
