Back with their first album since 1991's Raw, In the Poppyfields contained the first new music under the name of The Alarm MMIV to be released. Actually prior to the release of the album they had actually recorded five albums in five months containing 56 songs under the banner of In The Poppyfields Bond (the titles of the albums were in order of release Close, The Normal Rules Do Not Apply, Trafficking, Edward Henry Street, and Coming Home).
These are the songs that were eventually chosen to appear on the album. Some from the project would also appear on the follow up album Under Attack released in 2006.
