One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours is the second studio album by British post-hardcore band Fightstar, released on 24 September 2007 through Institute Recordings, itself a subsidiary of independent label Gut Records. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Matt Wallace, the album debuted at number twenty seven on the UK Albums Chart and was preceded by the free downloadable single, "99" and first official single, "We Apologise for Nothing". As with the bands debut album, Daniel Conway digitally painted the albums artwork.[1]

The tracks "Unfamiliar Ceilings" and "H.I.P. (Enough)" are both representations of Fightstar's continued interest in the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise. The former song title comes from a line that the protagonist, Shinji Ikari, speaks during the series. The latter is an acronym for "Human Instrumentality Project", the goal of the fictional secret society "Seele". The third single, "Deathcar", also contains two b-sides; namely "Nerv/Seele" (named after the 2 factions from the Evangelion series) and the track "Shinji Ikari", after the aforementioned character of the same name.[2] Bass Player Dan Haigh is primarily responsible for bringing the influence of Evangelion to Fightstar.[3]

It was announced in June 2009 that the album was being re-released as a deluxe edition, containing a bonus CD including b-sides from the original recording sessions and live versions of "99" and "Deathcar".[4] The new edition was released on 6 July 2009 in the United Kingdom and 11 August for the United States release via Edsel Records,[5] who specialise in repackaged albums.

The album, re-issued in vinyl format, appeared on Amazon as a pre-order in late September.[when?]

I've lost count of the number of songs I've titled after that series e.g. Nerv/Seele, Unfamiliar Ceilings, Shinji Ikari, H.I.P.
