Quite Simply imense September 22, 2007 Mr. J. C. Snead (goole , east yorkshire) 14 out of 15 found this review helpful
After the fantastic "They Liked You Better When You Were Dead" E.P and "Grand Unification" as a debut album, i was always hoping to see Fightstars second album become equal to their earlier work in brilliance. Because Fightstar are quality songwriters as a whole band i expected nothing less than it to be a fantastic piece of work. Knowing this would be a very hard task i awaited to see what One Day Son contained.
br /After one listen One Day Son certainly put up to the challenge as been as good as previous material.
br /
br /The first single "We Apologise for Nothing" (although not the first to be heard by fans as 99 was released with a video in early june as a present for impatient fightstar lovers)is an immediate return to classic fightstar, epic Post- Hardcore which always lives up to the american take on the genre Thrice,Thursday e.t.c with a catchy chorus and riff as well as both charlie and al on vocals.
br /Hearing this however before the album is no way to tell what is instore upon one day son. A perfect mixture of Post-Hardcore and Metal riffs. Piano, Screaming and Female vocals makes the album a near on 46 minutes of perfection. The album was written and polished off in a tough period of Charlies life, this is portrayed in the lyrics of songs "Deathcar" and "Unfamiliar Ceilings". This is another reason i believe why the album is heading in so many different directions, the band have simply matured, and as a result written a brilliant record. Some people have criticised the elements of other bands in fightstars previous work especially deftones as a source because they are charlies favourite band. However nothing is stolen at all from other bands,far from it.The album just equals deftones style in one or two songs namely, "Amaze Us" and "One Day Son" and also relates back to the bands previous work if anything (Build and Army and Paint Your Target certainly would fit into this record without a hitch).
br /
br /As for the songs i shall give each a mark out of 10. These are fair marks as i consider myself a very devoted listener:
br /
br /99 - a good opener, however far from best song on the album and was suprising when first heard earlier in the year. 2nd half of the song much better than the 1st provides an excellent climax. Grows and grows from first listen. 8/10
br /
br /We Apologise For Nothing - Excellent catchy song, good choice for first single off the album. Pure Fightstar. 9/10
br /
br /Floods - Brilliant Piano intro followed by stomping heavy riff and good vocal work here from charlie. Equal best song on the album. Pure example of fightstars maturity change. 10/10
br /
br /One Day Son - Another of the best songs on the album, back to the post-hardcore roots. Amazing song structure especially intro and chorus and the violins in the middle 8. Single Material 10/10
br /
br /Deathcar - Equal best song on the album. Kick you in the face intro with a metal riff which slayer would be proud of and screaming UnderOath or Alexisonfire could easily compare to. Turns into a beautiful song with the verse and chorus, relating to chinese homeless people been killed in vans for food and charlies breakup with his girlfriend. Essential listening, deservedly already on the RESIDENT EVIL 3: Extinction filmsoundtrack.Wouldn't fancy been in the centre of a moshpit when the songs begins..... 10/10
br /
br /I am the Message - Brilliant mixed vocals from Al and Charlie over an obvious but quality fightstar riff. The piano in the Huge chorus oncemore reflects Fightstars transition into a much more complex band and puts the icing on the cake as another success upon the album. 9/10
br /
br /You and I - Complex Vocal work throughout by the band, with female voices in the outro of the song. Certainly an excellent addition to the album with a mighty chorus which is the key to the song. Although the middle 8 is a wise direction to keep the song going before the impressive outro.Not to be expected upon tour. 9/10
br /
br /Amaze Us - The song certainly did me when i first heard the intro. Although a distinct likeness to deftones in parts a very mighty song. Again showing the different directions fightstar are heading in with its variation from metal to post-hardcore. The screaming after the 2nd verse is easily on quality par with killswitch engage and leads into an excellent final chorus and outro. Single material indeed. 10/10
br /
br /H.I.P (enough) - The chorus saves the song. Although the prechorus bassline by dan haigh is one of a kind and the middle 8 onceagain brillian. Still worthy of an album place though and to say its one of the worst offerings on the album shows how much a masterpiece the album really is. 7/10
br /
br /Tannhauser Gate - From the opening doublebass of Omars kit to the closeing screaming of charlies vocals over a megametal riff, three minutes and twenty seconds later, only one word can describe WOW!!. A perfect example of fightstar tackling their influences but equalling them in quality. Imense shared vocals in each verse from Charlie and Al, and as for the chorus the screaming of simpsons voice relates back to Build and Army in a tremendous way! Simply ment to be played live. A huge success. 10/10
br /
br /Our Last Common Ancestor - Dreary in many parts but still nevertheless a good song with a well sung chorus. Overall worst song on the album. 7/10
br /
br /Unfamilliar Ceilings - A masterpiece. Not heavy in the slightest but a ballad of pure vocal class with a catchy guitar addition. The female vocals illustrate the pain of charlies breakup, as certainly do the lyrics. Some might say a weird ending to the album, i say a beautiful ending to a beautiful album. 9/10
br /
br /If you can't buy the album for some reason,listen to these songs and the prevention not enabling you to purchase the album should just be ignored.
br /
br /We Apologise For Nothing
br /Floods
br /One Day Son
br /Deathcar
br /Amaze Us
br /Tannhauser Gate
br /
br /If Fightstars next record equals the brilliance of this album and their earlier work then the band are soon to become proper legends.

Deeper than would first appear October 20, 2007 Suzie Byrne (Bristol, UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought the first Fightstar album, purely because i was interested to see if 'the goodlooking one from busted' could actually pull off the transition from pop pin-up to credible rock act. I had heard Zane Lowe mention that it was actually quite good and thought that was a good recomendation and so decided to take a punt.
br /At first listen all i really liked was ashes and maybe paint your target in a guilty pleasure kind of way.
br /I then listened to it a couple more times and within a few listens discovered that there was actually a lot more under the surface than the initial quick once over would have you believe. Grand Unification is without doubt one of the best albums that came out that year and is always in my car stereo (even now).
br /
br /One Day Son, on the first listen was to say the least, a little of a disapointment. The only tracks to my taste being Deathcar and Tanhauser Gate.
br /However , I endevoured to persevere and sure enough, by the end of the third listen i was actually very into over half of the tracks on the album.
br /
br /So whats it like? Well, there is the sense that this is a true attempt at a 'grown-up' album with a much more anthemnic sound than the previous one and with the band clearly more confident with thier instruments and each other. The sound is big and powerful for the most part with immaculate timing on the start-stop crunchy riffs that characterise the overall sound of this album.
br /
br /You can actually hear who the infuences are as you progress through the tracks. Starting with some Foo fighters for the first 2 tracks they then slide into strong hints of Muse with the piano intro and prog-rock feel of the third and fourth tracks. Track 5 sees them go back to the Deftones-esque sound of Deathcar which is also repeated again with the brilliant Tanhauser Gate.
br /
br /Overall a brilliant album. However, the unfogivably bad final track is a crime that would have ruined the album if it wasnt so easy to ignore in the face of the rest of the overwhelmingly good songs.
br /
br /buy it.
Fightstar - One Day Son This Will All Be Yours August 24, 2007 Benji 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
This album is VERY good in it's own way, I think this album is a great follow-up to Grand Unification, although some fans may not like One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours as much, give it time and you will not be able to stop listening to it!!! Sadly though this album was leaked, but then again every single fan I have spoken to has said that they have the leaked version but are still going to buy the album when it comes out!
br /
br /This is a great album and cannot be possibly put in it's own genre, all the songs are different. It has a bit of Piano, strings and everything!
br /
br /The best songs on the album, In my opinion are:
br /
br /99
br /Floods
br /One Day Son
br /We Apologise for Nothing
br /Deathcar
br /Unfamiliar Ceilings
br /You I
br /
br /99 - Good melodic song to get the album started. 10/10
br /We Apologise For Nothing - First single and very good. 10/10
br /Floods - Awesome chorus, lovely singing and piano and guitar work. 10/10
br /One Day Son - Very catchy song, with nice heavy intro riff. 10/10
br /Deathcar - The heaviest song on the album, and very catchy. 10/10
br /I Am The Message - Boring song, but if you want to give it a listen go ahead. 7/10
br /You I - AMAZING! Best song on the album, it will take a long time to grow on you. 8/10
br /Amaze Us - Classic song, amazing intro riff, followed by great heavy chorus. 10/10
br /H.I.P (Enough) - Nice, but not the best. 9/10
br /Tannhäuser Gate - Nice and heavy. Love the high vocals from Al and Charlie. 10/10
br /Our Last Common Ancestor - Bit boring but very good. 9/10
br /Unfamiliar Ceilings - Classic song to end the album, feels like a sort of 'End of The Wold' sound. Also a guest voice from someone who I will not tell you because i don't want to ruin it. 10/10
br /
br /So if you want extremely catchy songs this album may not fill that hole. If you want stomping guitar riffs, then this will definately fill the hole.
br /
br /Here is a list of the catchy songs:
br /
br /99
br /We Apologise For Nothing
br /Deathcar
br /Floods
br /One Day Son
br /H.I.P. (Enough)
br /Unfamiliar Ceilings
br /Amaze us
br /
br /So you do get your fair share of catchy and heavy songs, but nothing like Build an Army or Paint Your target, they are the superiour songs and are amazing.
br /
br /I would definately recommend this album though!!!
AMAZING!!!!! October 2, 2007 S. Harris (Swindon, England) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
THE CD:
br /
br / The songs on the CD are amazing. Its definetly as good as "Grand Unification". The best song would be "One Day Son", the title track. It has the best chorus to a song I've heard in a long time, its really powerful. "99" and "We Apologise For Nothing", two songs that have been released as singles previously can be found on this album. "99" is one of my personal favourite songs since every lyric and guitar solo found in the song is AMAZING.
br /
br / If you like SCREAMING then you should listen to "Deathcar" and "Tamnhauser" since not only are they two of the best songs on the album, but they feature A LOT of screaming. And there just all-round awesome.
br /
br / The only song that is disappointing would be "Unfamiliar Ceilings". It features Female vocals but it makes the song sound like a pop song. But apart from that little trip-up the album is GREAT. Fightstar are beginning to write songs that make sense: YAY!!! So buy this album because its just as good as "Grand Unification", if not better.
br /
br /THE DVD:
br /
br / Its fun to watch but really it just shows you the band messing about. And occaisonly playing instruments.

i only started listening to fightstar about a week ago and never really bothered before because i hated busted. but then i heard some and found out that charlie sounds like he is doing what he always wanted to do in the first place, instead of being in a lame wanna be american band like busted. so now i have loads of respect for him and the awsomeness and quality of FIGHTSTAR! im so glad i started listening to it .
