A Dream Too Late- Intermission to the Moon

November 16th  2007 by Wes

When listening to a new album for the first time, especially a from a band that is relatively unknown, you would expect that the first track on the album would be strong enough to capture a new listeners attention. Such is not the case with newcomers A Dream To Late. Hailing from Albany, Oregon, birthplace of Falling Up and The Send, ADTL brings their unique take on Christian Rock music.

At first listen, 14th and Knott isnt the greatest tune on the album, but it gets better as it goes along. The same is the case with the rest of the album. Dig a little deeper and you will find a sound more akin to that of there Oregon-born brothers. Aside from 14th being relatively week, the rest of the album is fairly good. You can definitely tell who their influences/friends are. On "Do You Believe", their guitar riffs sounds very similar to those that you might hear on a Falling Up album. This rings true for most of the album, but don't hold that against them. The song "Trendsetter" has a similar sound to "Backstabber" by Jonezetta. There are several strong tracks on the album including "Can I Start A New?", "Do You Believe? (In Ghosts)", and "Intermission To The Moon". Lyrically, "Can I Start" has the strongest message, "I know this road takes me from you but I can't seem to slow this down. I see myself, but you're all around.".

As a debut album, Intermission isn't the best ever and doesn't differentiate its sound from other popular bands, but A Dream Too Late shows a great amount of promise, and given the chance to grow, their sound will get better and better. Fans of Falling Up, The Send, and Jonezetta should defeinatley check this album out. Even those who may not be fans should give this album a listen. They might just find that they cant put it down. I give it
