Jul 9, 2015After the wild success of "Some Nights" Ruess follows up with this. A fun ride from start to finish but it feels very similar to Fun. "Grand Romantic" feels like it's missing something, namely Antonoff and Dost.

Aug 6, 2015Grand Romantic isn’t going to be for everyone. But if you happen to thrill at the twinkling eclecticism of the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds or get misty-eyed when Freddie Mercury soars above his backing choir on “Somebody to Love,” then you’ll likely follow Ruess at least part of the way on this hopelessly earnest, grandiosely romantic excursion.
