Abba - Arrival

Abba - Super Trouper

Abba - The Visitors

 

I would add The Album and Voulez Vous as well!

 

They are great albums...but more like 9/10 if you ask me.

If I rated every album I really like, I would have hundreds upon hundreds of 10/10 albums. For me, that misses the point of rating an album 10/10 or perfect. I think a perfect album only comes around, maybe, a half dozen times a decade. At most.

 

Take Rubber Soul. It's a brilliant album. It's an influential album. It's an album loved by millions. But it has "Run for Your Life" and "What Goes On". Subpar Beatles songs, for sure. So is it perfect?

 

Take Power Windows. It has eight songs that, pretty much, are very consistent quality-wise. In a word perfect. I think Signals has a few bumps in the road. In other words not perfect. But, the best of Signals is far better than all of Power Windows.

 

But, it's all opinion. That's why threads like this are fun.

Voulez Vous is my favourite, but I know many think it has filler. The album...you might have a point (sudden memories of Hole In Your Soul...)

I don't think Voulez Vous has any filler, it's a great album with great songs, but not 10/10 solid in my book.
