Thrilled when this turned up on eMusic

I *think* I like this better than 'No Roots', but not as much as 'Outrospective.' 'A Kind of Peace' and 'Music Matters' are favorites.

Still keeping the faith

I quite like Faithless since the beginning, way back in the '90s. I didn't know they'd done any more since the greatest hits 2005. Surprised to see this album. It's very good. Poignant lyrics on the likes of "bombs", "I hope" "too all new arrivals" and "Hope and Glory". While their are more relaxed lyrical songs like "Music Matters", Man in you etc. Some nice ambient trance here too. A kind of peace is a very relaxing song to listen too and they choice Cat Power well for this track. Faithless have still got it!

Love it

I feel in love with Faithless awhile back with their song "Insomnia". Over the years my feelings for their other songs has varied, but this entire album is REALLY good. Upbeat, good lyric, great variety with the guest singers, good samples too.

quirky, but cool

By now you might have heard the single, "bombs." To truly grasp the content of this powerful song, you HAVE to see the video as well. It was banned from mtv and not for the typical reasons. The imagary is powerful and spot-on. Don't they know by now to ban something is to encourage its proliferation?!

Can't wait to go running

I can't wait to run to some of these--about half of them. The album is uneven but the runnable tracks more than make up for the others.

Following their number one greatest-hits collection Forever Faithless from the previous year, Faithless released their fifth studio album, To All New Arrivals, at the end of 2006 while the former was still enjoying its extended run on the charts. The album title referred to the new babies in the families of bandmembers Rollo and Sister Bliss, but could have equally referred to the tracks, most of which feature collaborators including Harry Collier, Robert Smith from the Cure, Cat Power, and former member Dido on the track “Last This Day.” There are three instrumentals, the repetitive, tinkling “Nate’s Tune,” the trance-like “I Hope,” and the final track, “Emergency,” which throws everything including the kitchen sink into a seven-minute soundscape. – Sharon Mawer
