"Outrospective" is the third album by Faithless, released on June 18, 2001. Following their successful album "Sunday 8PM" and preceding "No Roots," "Outrospective" achieved notable commercial success. The single "We Come 1" reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, making it one of their most successful singles. "One Step Too Far," featuring vocals from Dido, also performed well, reaching number 6 on the same chart. Additionally, "Muhammad Ali" and "Tarantula" charted at number 29.
The album itself peaked at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Despite its commercial success, Rollo Armstrong, one of the members of Faithless, expressed in the cover booklet of "Forever Faithless – The Greatest Hits" that "Outrospective" was his least favorite album, despite being their best-selling one in the UK.
The cover photograph for "Outrospective" captures scenes from the May 1968 student uprisings in Paris, France, adding a historical and evocative backdrop to the album's visual presentation.
