Listening to the new Deathcar single I hear things that I don't expect from Fightstar. There are heavy ass riffs in this song reminiscent of the Underoath album "Define The Great Line". Sounds to me on this single that we are finally hearing a tatse of the real Fightstar. One with artistic freedom and their ability to craft songs that they so wish. Now don't get me wrong I loved the last Fightstar album but this single has taken them into a totally new direction that I personally am really digging.

Unfortunately for me the only full song on this promo single is Deathcar. All the extra single goodies like "99" Live at Kok0, "NERV/SEELE", "Shinji Ikari" and "Deathcar" Live at Koko are all just clips on this promo CD. Pretty shit when your trying to do a review but luckily for Institute Recordings, Fightstar pack enough punch in the one song to get this reviewers attention!!

Also, this CD single is supposed to be the very first Vinyl CD. Not really sure what it is but I believe it can be played in a CD player and a turntable?!?!? If so, they should have sent those out as review copies because whats the point of having such a great gimic being attached to your single if no reviewer can witness it and subsequently tell the world about it?

Overall a great track, from a great band that appear to be finally moving in their own unique and personal musical direction without the outside influence of record company executives. Based on this single alone, I will be going out and buying the new Fightstar album "One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours".
