All of this is damn right and I could close this review fast and easy. But there is surely is more to say about Swedish rockers GRAND DESIGN and their simply \u201cV\u201c titled effort. Mastermind Pelle Saether (v) has no\u00a0 problem in putting a bunch of songs together breathing the 80s melodic rock sound in each and every note. DEF LEPPARD would kill if they were still able to write songs of the class of \u201cShame On U\u201c, \u201cStrandad (Trapped In A Heartbreak Zone)\u201c or the fantastic opener \u201cRight Away\u201c. I have to confess I am a huge fan of Pelle &amp; his guys since \u201cTime Elevation\u201c, their extremely hard to find debut via AOR\/Metal Heaven (2009).\u00a0 Can\u2018t say \u201cV\u201c is better than all of its predecessors but it\u2018s another high quality effort with a cover of the 80s smash hit \u201cThe Warrior\u201c, originally released by SCANDAL featuring PATTY SMYTH.\u00a0 So \u201cWut Are U Waiting For\u201c &#8211; get this damn CD!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8,5\/10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreas H\u00f6hn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Track List:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
