I recently rediscovered this cd. I originally bought this cd the month it came out. I enjoyed it then, probably liking four of the songs at the time. Over time I lost the cd and last year got to thinking about it, so I ordered it used for 50 cents. When it arrived I listened to it and liked it even more. I honestly can not believe this cd was not much bigger. If I won the lottery one of the first things I would do is put my money towards rereleasing this cd. I don't care if the band refused to get back together. That is how much I love this cd. I'm not saying everyone reading this will love this cd. All I can say is this - A music fan whose taste run from Korn's first cd, In Flames, Sarah McLaucklin (sp?), Hour Cast, Sans Seraph, and Demon Hunter thinks this may be the best cd ever.
AMAZING

One of the most overlooked, underated CDs to come out at the time. Brilliant from start to finish. I hope at least the singer is still doing something, maybe a solo record? Anyone? These guys were magical live and the CD is an absolute masterpiece.
Georgia CFA Fan

I saw this band perform at the Macon, Georgia Street Party in 1998. They captivated the approximately 30,000 fans. Dynamite show! Lead singer, Gordon Vaughn, and fellow band members stole the show from the headliner band, Days of the New. Gordon is one of the most dynamic performers I have ever witnessed. Grand World is a terrific CD, one that I have enjoyed very much the past two years. I look forward to their new release, hopefully soon. All Grand World songs are very good but my favorites are New Song, Walk Away, On and On, Trials, and the "hidden" track song, Spinning. It is hard to believe that this band is still relatively unknown. Perhaps the new CD will receive the type promotion the first one didn't. Buy Grand World now so you can tell friends that you knew the band before it was discovered.
Powerful, rich, inspirational album

After hearing "walk away", I was hooked. Little did I know that the rest of the album was even better. If you like Pearl Jam, Better Than Ezra, and/or Live...you'll absolutely love this CD. Just make sure to let the CD run after song 12, b/c the hidden song (at around 13:56) is amazing! It saddens me to think that they aren't selling millions of albums right now. Obviously, they need a new press agent, b/c their music speaks for itself. Trust me- buy it!!
The best album nobody's heard in a while!

I've been spinning this CD ever since I bought it about a year ago. I saw the band live and was just blown away...the album is phenomenal! The songwriting is excellent, the songs themselves are memorable (I'm partial to "new song"), and the vocals are hauntingly fresh. Definitely the best album gone unheard in the past few years!!
