May 27 - SOS

When it comes to ABBA, I have to confess that there are a lot of songs that I prefer when they are covered by other bands, and today's song is no exception. On their third album, ABBA, which we also heard from yesterday, one of the biggest hits was the song SOS. It is really a beautiful song - but I like it a little better in the metal treatment of the Trondheim band Israelvis. On their second album We Only Live Twice, which really was an EP but that in its cd format included their second proper album, Half Past Heaven, they included this cover version of SOS. Other highlights for me includes the songs Bitter Lennon and Sadie - but the spotlight shines brightest on SOS for me.
