Comparing the two ... Carpenters are better at depressing song, and ABBA are better at cheerful songs. ABBA had top notch studio musicians, but Karen could hold her own on the drums (in early days, before she took center stage). I honestly feel that Karen had the better voice among them. Both groups utilize overdubbing. Anna and Frida's were a lot of times overdubbed during the verse to give a full chorusy effect. Karen sang with very little echo/reverb, and the Carpenters used overdubbing for backing vocals. But you can always hear Karen natural voice with little or no effects, and she has one of the best voices in music.
