Did not expect the old hard core metal feel/finish to this and I fucking love it !!! These guys have always had that great mix almost reggae metal meld but this brings me back
Love love love this song. I'm 39, been listening to 311 since I was 15. Far and away best band ever. 311 has seen me through some rough times but they always uplift me with their music.
Almost four years after release and I'm still stunned by this one. Just my opinion but this is the best since Beyond the Grey Sky. Nicks vocals have done nothing but get better since the days of Music. Effing unreal.
43 years old and started on 311 in 95. And just like people mentioned, this is definitely one of their best tracks. It blows my mind how after all these years and literally hundreds of songs, they still find a way to sound fresh and absolutely slay. Hoping for a new album soon!
Been a huge 311 fan since music. Obviously grassroots and music are favorites, but this album, it has been playing with me, my brother, and band non stop. People are asking who the band is and 311 made a ton of new fans with this album. Flint, michigan has 311 on repeat. Bravo
311 does it yet again! With each album, they just seem to have an endless ocean of creative inspiration that they reach into and bring out to share with a weary world in need of positive vibes.
Bro been listening to the whole record so far and I have goosebumps and neck hairs raised up,, omg and now the end brakedown, dude… fuck yes!! 311 for life!!
really? u heard facemelting somewhere in there? dude go listen to the 311 material that happened before you were born if you want facemelting. ditch this new 311 shit
Dylan W I'm 34 bro and seen them live over 25 times, obviously know all their material...way to fully embrace that 311 message by passive aggressively attacking my comment lol.. stay positive u are a true fan
Wow Dylan that's a bit negative, people change, no need to down talk their newer material. As fas I know there is no limit on how many time you can play the grassroots album.
Whoa..... the beginning is seriously tapping into some serious Police vibe, with Sting's vocals and some of Copland's drumming timings........ Gonna go buy this record tomorrow for sure!
"relay the message from downtowns, with loud sounds, we expound; it will be too laaaaate". Awesome song guys, thanks for continuing to make such great music. Mosaic is great ! I listen to 311 every day, and my life is better because of your music. Rocked out with you guys at the Montclair, NJ show. You blew the roof off that place !
been a 311 fan 20 some years. and my primary format of music is heavy metal. but 311 has always had complete control as my all time favorite band. there is just not another single band in the world like them PERIOD! I love these guys and this song is epic on a whole new lvl. if the rest of the album is similar to what I've heard from the 1st 2 singles ....there's a good chance this will usurp soundsystems as my new favorite 311 album! simply amazing guys! #311forlife
I'll say first that 311 is my favorite band of all time and everything they do will be special. Having said that, I just have to say - the two songs I've heard from this album so far give me real hope that this could be the album that I (and some fans) have been waiting for for a really long time. As a huge fan, I appreciate everything you guys put out and it all gets ample bump time on various soundsystems within QTR's house, vehicle, devices, etc. I think there's masterpieces on all of the last few albums, but they've missed a certain push to make them favorites among the whole discography. Feldmann is a master craftsman and also one of my favorites - though he is punk through and through he has a tinge of pop sensibility that I think brings something fresh to these two singles from Mosaic - I notice melody where there would sometimes be a little mundane droning or semi-contrived sounding singing (I really mean this in the nicest way). The sound is 311 through and through - it takes the best of your hip hop, the best of your punk, the best of your pop - like the best styles of all of my favorite songs so far - all combined. But it doesn't lack maturity - this is a sound that you guys wouldn't have produced in 1995. Point is, something caught my ear with this album - you've always been the best, but hope you guys take it to the next level. Hoping for the best thing since Soundsystem. Sorry for the giant rant, I'm just really excited. Sending positivity not only to the band, but to the fans who are equally as awesome!
I first heard this song the night i found out my brother passed away from a horrible motorcycle accident. This song will forever be my little brothers last ride.
311 - TOO LATE (Tribal chant) Way ah oh o'way ah oh oh o'way ah oh oh I've been spinning in circles Stuck in a state of contemplate By the time that you hear this It will be too late May not do a bit of good But I cannot stay in a hopeless way By the time that you hear this It will be too late Too Late Grasping in the darkness Making it up as I go along Find what we needed Right when you read this It will be too late Made our way blindly for way too long Made our way blindly for way too long It's human nature's attraction to danger You look around but you won't see the rangers It's crazy-acting strangers, acting a major Acting a major A river cuts its way through stone Not through shear force but persistance At the end of the day The relentless always win If they wanted to stop us Opportunity passed cuz they hesistate By the time that you hear this It will be too late Too Late Grasping in the darkness Making it up as I go along Find what we needed Right when you read this It will be too late Made our way blindly for way too long Made our way blindly for way too long Only thing to stop us is cutting us off of The road at the toll that ends in a drop off The universe explodes, new galaxies pop up New galaxies pop up Low on gas, going fast in the passing lane Only light in the tunnel was an oncoming train Out of sight, out of mind, now I'm stuck in a bind That was the end of the line Big shot, king of the block It's going down, another hard knock That's all you've got We'll turn it up in the mix They'll hear it loud in the sticks Relay the message from the downtowns With loud sounds we expound It will be TOO LATE
Perfect. As usual! Everything about this song is just phenomenal! I've been a fan since the very beginning and my youngest son is a huge fan too! His little heart is broken because he can't go along to the Philly show. I told him that 311 will still be together and touring in 6 years, so...
Oh, that's awesome :) That will be so much fun!! I think I'll have to grab another ticket quickly. 311 fans on Facebook are saying the same thing. I'm going to take him!
It never ceases to amaze me that my favorite band can keep making music as original as Too Late the 20 + years I have been privileged to listen to them. Great song, see you this summer!
Brings me instantly back to childhood. Replay all day.. Reminds me of transistor and self titled albums. Raw but rides so well. Counting down til this one drops.
Been listening to 311 since I was in 5th grade (96) but haven’t been to their show in the past 6 or 7 years and was blown away when this song came on… was NOT expecting such filth way to keep that energy up guys!
Just saw them last night and man they were fucking amazing. So much energy, they sounded great and still after 25 yrs that's something to say. Thank you 311
Ill have to say this takes me to back in the day 311. gotta say they still got it. never skipped a beat. cant wait to hear the entire album. until then i will prob play this song every morning on my way to work. 311 love
been listening for 22 years and they just get better. somebody make a guitar cover/lesson so I can jam this asap. the brodel is the nazz and the nazz knows where it's at.
I questioned this track, as a long time fan. Until I was fishing, saw a bald eagle, and was listening to this. Literally the best band on fucking earth, dude.
Keep it up guys, i remember getting suspended in school in the fifth grade, it was a 5th/6th grade school dance and everyone got to bring in a CD and put it on the dj's table and he took requests, Down and All mixed up got played and i got kicked out! :P Love 311, and love the new music. One bada$$ band that has truly taken on the test of time and music evolution.
I went back to college "as an adult." I have lyrics from this song in my notebook for classes. "The river cuts its way through stone not through sheer force but persistence. At the end of the day the relentless always win."
Lyrics pull at the heartstings,and guitars definitely take you to RiffCity...this song alone is worth getting the whole album,cant wait to pop open a 311 beer,dab a huge hit of my uplifter vape pen,and jam out to #MOSAIC🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
I've been a 311 since 1995. I have to admit that when I read that they were putting out a new album I didn't have high hopes, but this proves me wrong! They still have it. They are just as good as they were back then. This song sounds like it could have come off of any of their older releases. Such good stuff! Good job, guys. Keep it up!
Started listening to song, quit before first chorus was done to get my headphones. Started song again. Listened twice. I'm now taking my laptop to my truck to listen on a good system. This song is so badass!!
This is what I'm talking about! Finally rapping again and Rockin' the F OUT!!!! I can't wait for the record please don't let me down after 20 years of loyalty. If the 3 previews are as good as the rest of the record I will cream for all to see! Lmao, no really I will.

311 is timeless
Did not expect the old hard core metal feel/finish to this and I fucking love it !!! These guys have always had that great mix almost reggae metal meld but this brings me back
It's true. I'm a fan from way back. Grassroots was my first foray into 311. This hits as hard as that did.
Still, love them after all this time.
311 ages like wine
Love love love this song. I'm 39, been listening to 311 since I was 15. Far and away best band ever. 311 has seen me through some rough times but they always uplift me with their music.
by the time you read this it will be too late
Same bruh. I'm 39 and been jamming since 15. 311 and staind have been my saving grace for years. Forever a fan!!!!
By the time you hear this it will be too late
They r UPLIFTERs indeed!
Im 39 too… weird. Soundsystem stole my soul back then. And the rest is history
Absolutely one of 311s best songs. And they have a bunch of great tracks. Been listening to them since I was as a teenager. I'm 39 now. 311 for life!!
Heard their off record song hey little brother?
Damn 311 i like when you bring the hard rock.
311 have such a good range I feel like they can dabble in any musical genre and accidentally create a banger.
got chills listening to it. Reminded me of when things were simple
life's not a race bre
they will be simple again... such is your mission guardian. From darkness create order.
I imagine you are listening to the new single right now in which they literally say that exact line.
by the time you read this it will be too late
best band in all the land!!! ❤❤❤❤
Lauren Telsey No question!
Almost four years after release and I'm still stunned by this one. Just my opinion but this is the best since Beyond the Grey Sky. Nicks vocals have done nothing but get better since the days of Music. Effing unreal.
Nodding head, stomping feet and air guitar in full effect. A solid track by our 311 boys. #bravo
At the end of the day the relentless always win.
Angelatopia YES!!!
Angelatopia so very true
43 years old and started on 311 in 95. And just like people mentioned, this is definitely one of their best tracks. It blows my mind how after all these years and literally hundreds of songs, they still find a way to sound fresh and absolutely slay. Hoping for a new album soon!
Chad found his snare he lost years ago-finally!
same snare probably. better recording
I came to love Chad's slightly-too-loud piccolo snap.. and it was very distracting to hear Bob Rock dismiss its service
Agreed, dude!
Michael Vaidic --- Bob Rock knows not what he hath done. 311 is 311 because of Chad's snare sound!
Agree, CS
Been a huge 311 fan since music. Obviously grassroots and music are favorites, but this album, it has been playing with me, my brother, and band non stop. People are asking who the band is and 311 made a ton of new fans with this album. Flint, michigan has 311 on repeat. Bravo
I discovered 311 back in time around 1998 in a trip to Lake Tahoe love their music since then
Oh yeah! *Mosaic* will definitely be added to my collection of 311 albums. I can't wait. Fan since 1995.
This is so awesome. I might be crying myself to sleep tonight.
311 does it yet again! With each album, they just seem to have an endless ocean of creative inspiration that they reach into and bring out to share with a weary world in need of positive vibes.
This song is so good, it gave me chills! Nick and his vocals get me each time! That ending! OMG! 311 never ceases to amaze me!!!
Erica Lavoie it's nuts.... best band ever (in my opinion) lol
a year later, still blows my mind every time i hear it! the ending is def great
I wish I knew you, I have not found a lady for myself that appreciates 311 in the way I do 😍
epic
@Takyo Bish learn it on an instrument you'll appreciate it more.
by far best 311 song ive heard since soundsystem came out 18 years ago..i cried and had GOOSEBUMPS the whole time.
Bro been listening to the whole record so far and I have goosebumps and neck hairs raised up,, omg and now the end brakedown, dude… fuck yes!! 311 for life!!
damn 311 just went metal...that ending incredible. face melting. love it
The metal ending was just siiiiiiiiiiiick
really? u heard facemelting somewhere in there? dude go listen to the 311 material that happened before you were born if you want facemelting. ditch this new 311 shit
Dylan W I'm 34 bro and seen them live over 25 times, obviously know all their material...way to fully embrace that 311 message by passive aggressively attacking my comment lol..
stay positive u are a true fan
im not a true fan of 311 anymore. im a true fan of music
Wow Dylan that's a bit negative, people change, no need to down talk their newer material. As fas I know there is no limit on how many time you can play the grassroots album.
Whoa..... the beginning is seriously tapping into some serious Police vibe, with Sting's vocals and some of Copland's drumming timings........
Gonna go buy this record tomorrow for sure!
311 in the early 90s changed my life forever. Stay positive and love your life. 👍if you agree.
Best song you guys have produced in years! Can't. Stop. Hitting. Replay.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
311'S GOT GRASSROOTS, IT'S ON TAP... OMG.. SO. FUCKING. HEAVY. YES. YES. YES.
it's ironic that after they dropped hard rock "legend" Bob Rock as their producer, they're rocking harder than ever.
Bryant McMillan Bob Rock sucks. He has ruined many a great rock band. So glad Ralston is back.
kryonso Bob Rock was probably the worst thing that ever happened to 311.
Bob Rock screwed 311's flow and sound. Cheers to Scotch!
Just like when Bob Cock half ass produced The Black Album then made Metallica believe they were country on the next album....
In all honesty though... this comment didn't age well.
hells yes. this album is gonna be so sick. \m/
"relay the message from downtowns, with loud sounds, we expound; it will be too laaaaate". Awesome song guys, thanks for continuing to make such great music. Mosaic is great ! I listen to 311 every day, and my life is better because of your music. Rocked out with you guys at the Montclair, NJ show. You blew the roof off that place !
Hardest song 311 has put out in 15+ years and I love every second of it.
You guys rock, been a fan since 94. Seen you live 51 times. Can't wait till Summer Tour.
AHHH!! YES THE HEAVINESS! I hope there is more!
been a 311 fan 20 some years. and my primary format of music is heavy metal. but 311 has always had complete control as my all time favorite band. there is just not another single band in the world like them PERIOD! I love these guys and this song is epic on a whole new lvl. if the rest of the album is similar to what I've heard from the 1st 2 singles ....there's a good chance this will usurp soundsystems as my new favorite 311 album! simply amazing guys!
#311forlife
311 is a philosophy, a way of life. Incredible, this band! 311 for life.
I waited till '23 to listen to this.. I thought they had fallen off. Man was I wrong. Long live 311 has grassroots for yo momma, true! ❤
I so enjoy having this band in my life.
This song. On headphones. Holy @^%! This is like a "lost" Transistor track or something. So good. So good.
I've been saying that myself everywhere...completely from that era! Love all the background effects and subtle layers.
804drumz have you heard extension yet? It sounds like it got ripped off the ass end of transistor.
Kermit The Frog Extension is a jam! Can't wait for Mosaic to drop! This song rocks my face off!!! Love it!
804drumz I agree... Love the heavy riffs, and Nick's chorus . 311 fan since 1996 🤘
Get some good headphones with this one!
this is insanely awesome! what a bad ass tune, it's a masterpiece!
For real, best track they've put out in years!
This has become one of my top 10 favorite 311 songs. No joke. This piece hits all the marks!
I love this album. Positive energy for ever.🤘👽🤘
Brings me back to the Music and Grassroots days. Fantastic song. 311 got the Boom Y'all!!!
keep it coming brothers......
I'll say first that 311 is my favorite band of all time and everything they do will be special. Having said that, I just have to say - the two songs I've heard from this album so far give me real hope that this could be the album that I (and some fans) have been waiting for for a really long time.

Quoth the Raven I second that. This album could be a mix for both hardcore fans and the newcomers. Styles for both. Either way I'm freaking pumped
Kermit The Frog WORD!
I've come to terms with the fact that nothing will be like the self titled, grassroots, music, transistor days. But this song was great not gonna lie
sterolithic and mosaic are both top 5 all time 311 albums.....they are on point these days.
by the time you read this it will be too late
Oh my fuck this is good
I first heard this song the night i found out my brother passed away from a horrible motorcycle accident. This song will forever be my little brothers last ride.
Love 311 from INDONESIA
Thank heaven for 311. Never forget that phrase.
In case you were wondering, 311's (still) got the boom ya'll!
311 got the boom y'all!
Awww shiiiet studio version! I don't have to listen to the cruise version anymore!
Right - was thinking the same thing. Been bumping that cruise version for months. It's finally on Apple Music, too - with a whole track list.
Corey Halliwell Still thankful to lucid311 though. Lol
Much props to lucid311 for everything!
311 is back. this is what their music is about. a message to touch everyone mind, body and soul
This combines complex lyrics with a heavy riff. Very reminiscent of grassroots and the blue album. I like!
This the kind of stuff that made me love 311 20 years ago.
There I am!! My friends and I made the cover. Badass song, can't wait for the album
Ahhh. That's the Chad snare sound that I missed so much! 311 can do no wrong. Been a fan since I was 11 years old!
How can a band so old possibly STILL be putting out such bomb fucking music? Just amazing
its mind blowing!
Im not afraid to say 311 is the greatest band that ever lived.
311 - TOO LATE
(Tribal chant)
Way ah oh
o'way ah oh oh
o'way ah oh oh
I've been spinning in circles
Stuck in a state of contemplate
By the time that you hear this
It will be too late
May not do a bit of good
But I cannot stay in a hopeless way
By the time that you hear this
It will be too late
Too Late
Grasping in the darkness
Making it up as I go along
Find what we needed
Right when you read this
It will be too late
Made our way blindly for way too long
Made our way blindly for way too long
It's human nature's attraction to danger
You look around but you won't see the rangers
It's crazy-acting strangers, acting a major
Acting a major
A river cuts its way through stone
Not through shear force but persistance
At the end of the day
The relentless always win
If they wanted to stop us
Opportunity passed cuz they hesistate
By the time that you hear this
It will be too late
Too Late
Grasping in the darkness
Making it up as I go along
Find what we needed
Right when you read this
It will be too late
Made our way blindly for way too long
Made our way blindly for way too long
Only thing to stop us is cutting us off of
The road at the toll that ends in a drop off
The universe explodes, new galaxies pop up
New galaxies pop up
Low on gas, going fast in the passing lane
Only light in the tunnel was an oncoming train
Out of sight, out of mind, now I'm stuck in a bind
That was the end of the line
Big shot, king of the block
It's going down, another hard knock
That's all you've got
We'll turn it up in the mix
They'll hear it loud in the sticks
Relay the message from the downtowns
With loud sounds we expound
It will be TOO LATE
Beau Newcomb THANK YOU!!!
You are welcome!
At the end I think Nick says "They'll hear it loud in the sticks"
Good ear. Just verified and fixed!
Beau Newcomb also: "Made our way blindly for way too long" as Nick just tweeted today.
I've been a fan since 95 as well! This song blew me away! I LOVE IT!!! KEEP ON BRINGING IT 311!!!
Brodels this album is just simply amazing, they have grown so much as a band & are in their prime for sure!
This song legit brought the house down 311Day 2018!!! Thank you!!
Perfect. As usual! Everything about this song is just phenomenal! I've been a fan since the very beginning and my youngest son is a huge fan too! His little heart is broken because he can't go along to the Philly show. I told him that 311 will still be together and touring in 6 years, so...
Brandy Oliver how old is he? brought my son to his first show last year at 6
He will be 7 in May.
and it is outdoors so, maybe it would be ok...
Brandy Oliver Do it!! My son went to Asbury Park. Going again this year
Oh, that's awesome :) That will be so much fun!!
I think I'll have to grab another ticket quickly. 311 fans on Facebook are saying the same thing. I'm going to take him!
Hands down best rock song to come out to the public in years .. hardcore serious ..
Thanks B Love for jamming 311 in Santa Rosa 1995 for me when I was 16. Been rocking 311 ever since, 311 is fucking proper!
It never ceases to amaze me that my favorite band can keep making music as original as Too Late the 20 + years I have been privileged to listen to them. Great song, see you this summer!
Brings me instantly back to childhood. Replay all day.. Reminds me of transistor and self titled albums. Raw but rides so well. Counting down til this one drops.
311 You have always been a part of my life. For more than 20 years now... You've done it again, sent chills down my spine. I fucking love you guys!
Fucking chills!!!!
Been listening to 311 since I was in 5th grade (96) but haven’t been to their show in the past 6 or 7 years and was blown away when this song came on… was NOT expecting such filth way to keep that energy up guys!
Holy Moses these guys never cease to amaze me!!!this song is amazing!!! 311 Unity!
While their older stuff is much better, every once in awhile they drop some new bombs like "Too Late" good shit
Just saw them last night and man they were fucking amazing. So much energy, they sounded great and still after 25 yrs that's something to say. Thank you 311
Ill have to say this takes me to back in the day 311. gotta say they still got it. never skipped a beat. cant wait to hear the entire album. until then i will prob play this song every morning on my way to work. 311 love
been listening for 22 years and they just get better. somebody make a guitar cover/lesson so I can jam this asap.
the brodel is the nazz
and the nazz knows where it's at.
I questioned this track, as a long time fan. Until I was fishing, saw a bald eagle, and was listening to this. Literally the best band on fucking earth, dude.
My picture is center dude, his left eye. So rad! Thank you 311 for the
opportunity to submit my picture. You guys are still killing it!
Keep it up guys, i remember getting suspended in school in the fifth grade, it was a 5th/6th grade school dance and everyone got to bring in a CD and put it on the dj's table and he took requests, Down and All mixed up got played and i got kicked out! :P Love 311, and love the new music. One bada$$ band that has truly taken on the test of time and music evolution.
311 has done it again. first it was 'Jacks rule the realm', then it was 'Five of everything', and now, 'Too late'.
XD ... exactly. 3 masterpieces. Glad someone else sees 'Five of Everything' for what it is.
God damn!! They are tighter than ever
311 can't be categorised as any musical genre. They've always been original, and have consistently kept elevating their quality of music.
Pleeeeeeeeeease come back to Minnesota, 311, so I can hear this jam live!
I went back to college "as an adult." I have lyrics from this song in my notebook for classes. "The river cuts its way through stone not through sheer force but persistence. At the end of the day the relentless always win."
One of those GOAT 311 jams... SHEESH!
Lyrics pull at the heartstings,and guitars definitely take you to RiffCity...this song alone is worth getting the whole album,cant wait to pop open a 311 beer,dab a huge hit of my uplifter vape pen,and jam out to #MOSAIC🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
The nostalgia! Classic 311 here!
Happy 2nd Anniversary for the release of Mosaic!!
I've been a 311 since 1995. I have to admit that when I read that they were putting out a new album I didn't have high hopes, but this proves me wrong! They still have it. They are just as good as they were back then. This song sounds like it could have come off of any of their older releases. Such good stuff! Good job, guys. Keep it up!
Its crazy this song isn't played on the radio?
a damn shame!
3rd time I've listened to this song today......it protects people from getting yelled at by me! Thank you 311!
The Excitable Ones are now Excited! AWESOME!
311 is pure legend status
Sounds like a Transistor track. Loving it.
Happy 311 day.....Whoa that was a fast year...
The guitar riff that starts at @1:23 is just... man...
I've seen them over 50 times starting in 94, Mosaic might be my favorite album all time. Well, besides Grassroots.
Best song that I have heard from these guys since the blue album material. Perfect song to close a concert. Well done.
'grasping in the darkness, making it up as I go along' 😊
311 fuck yeah!
Started listening to song, quit before first chorus was done to get my headphones. Started song again. Listened twice. I'm now taking my laptop to my truck to listen on a good system. This song is so badass!!
Nick's voice is underrated...
I'm just about speechless after this song. I just can't wait for more.
This is what I'm talking about! Finally rapping again and Rockin' the F OUT!!!! I can't wait for the record please don't let me down after 20 years of loyalty. If the 3 previews are as good as the rest of the record I will cream for all to see! Lmao, no really I will.
They have gotten me through bad and good times. Lotta memories
