To All New Arrivals is the 5th studio album by Faithless. The album was created after the positive response to the Faithless Greatest Hits tour, originally described as their "final tour". The album was released on 27 November 2006, a week after the single Bombs. The title for the album was originally thought of due to at the time, Rollo having just had a baby, and Sister Bliss' baby being due in the next few days^[2]. Maxi loved the title, partly due to his Buddhist faith and partly due to his parents being new arrivals to the UK in the 1950s^[2]. The band believe it to be their best album to date^[2]. The tagline for advertisement is:

For all those who stood up and were counted,
For all those for whom money was no motive,
For all those for whom music was a message,
I want to thank you.

These are lyrics from the song "Music Matters"^[2].

In one notable collaboration, the track "Spiders, Crocodiles & Kryptonite" features the vocals of Robert Smith of post-punk group The Cure. The song also contains samples and a section of arrangement from The Cure hit Lullaby.

The album will be supported by a tour of all of the United Kingdom's major arenas, beginning in Nottingham on 17 March 2007. It entered the UK album chart at #30 for the week ending 3 December 2006. Given that their previous studio album, No Roots, entered the charts at #1, this position was seen as a disappointment.
