4/5

The first thing I noticed when I picked this album up was a big sticker on the packaging that said that this was for fans of Switchfoot and Falling Up. After listening to it, I can agree with the latter. A Dream Too Late's first and sadly last album is very much inspired by the sound of early Falling Up, so much so that two members of the band contribute a lot on this album. Lead singer Jessy Ribordy co-writes more than half of the album lyrics and music while drummer Josh Shroy contributes his drumming talents to 9 out of the 11 songs.
It's really hard to not imagine this album as Falling Up's unofficial 3rd album. Many of the same musical stylings are here like their early Nu-metal sound mixed in with some experimental elements. Lyrically, it feels like something that Jesse would have written. The lyrics have an excellent poetic tinge to them and the space theme really fits in well to the experimental sound.
While this is the only album A Dream Too Late put out, it's a darn good one that fans of early Falling Up would apprieciate.
