5 out of 5 stars Perfect AOR Gem From Sweden.......2003-01-21

If you are looking for 80's styled dynamic melodic rock as Journey, Styx, hunt Swedish bands. Sweden in recent years has been pushing out finest of AOR bands that can beat even prime time Journey, Boston or Styx. Grand Illusion is one of those bands reminding us of grand scale Styx/Queen/Journey styled rock featurng Goran Edman(legendary Yngswei Malmsteen vocalist)like powerful emotional vocal. The band is made up of seasoned veterans that has been honing their musical talents from 80s.

My favorites are I Refuse, Journey like uptempo chorus driven rocker, Straight Face with excellent hooks and dyanamism, Zeros and Ones light but excellent pop tune and Blinded that combines what's fine of the aforementioned songs.
