Great article and very in tune with my own ABBA feelings - mostly that there's something of the blank Scandinavian ennui in even their poppiest moments. Never mind overtly sad numbers like Chiquitita or the devastating The Winner Takes It All even Waterloo seems to be about unwillingly submitting to a dominant sexual partner.

Not to mention the living nightmare of Mamma Mia, opening line "I've been cheated by you since I don't know when"
