The Dreamland Café was the seventh and last studio album from Christian rock band Mad at the World. It continued the pop, Beatles-esque sound they had used on The Ferris Wheel.

The Dreamland Café was released in 1995, the bands' final studio album. It continued the trend of softer, Beatleseque powerpop-oriented rock. This is also the only disc where Roger plays drums. In an interview, Roger said that there were songs where he did everything, and it was the result of a small budget and having a hard time getting everybody together. Thematically, he said the album could be interpreted "as a metaphor for the Church, or...Christianity or Christ...it's a little metaphor for...the optimistic, hopeful side of Christianity." This was the only one of their discs not represented on the World History collection.

The Dreamland Café was also the final album for Frontline Records.

The band dissolved in 1998, having performed with various line-ups for eleven years.

All songs written by Roger Rose, except "I Need You" written by Randy and Danny Rose

Other Personnel
