Be Human (album)
''Be Human'' is the third studio album by British alternative rock band Fightstar, released on 20 April 2009 through independent label Search and Destroy Records, itself distributed by PIAS Recordings. The album was recorded between August and December 2008 in Chesterfield and London, with the band co-producing alongside Laruso guitarist Carl Bown. Additional recording took place Air Studios with string composer Audrey Riley. Unlike their first two studio releases, Daniel Conway did not contribute to the album's artwork, instead the band approached Ryohei Hase who digitally painted the cover art.
Four singles were released from ''Be Human'', including "The English Way" and "Mercury Summer" prior to the album's release. Drawing praise from many critics, the album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 20, making it their highest charting album to date.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fightstar announce headlining tour )〕 The iTunes digital download includes a bonus track which is an acoustic version of "Unfamiliar Ceilings", the final track on the band's previous studio album, performed with former XFM presenter Katie P.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fightstar record Unfamiliar Ceilings with Katie P )〕 A deluxe edition was later re-released on 1 March 2010, including four newly recorded tracks,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fightstar: Interview )〕 a DVD of the band's live unplugged performance at the Picturedrome Theatre in Northampton, new cover art and also a revised track listing.
==Background, writing and recording==
The band first mentioned that they were working on new material back in March 2008. They confirmed that after completing their tour with Brigade, they would begin writing during the summer and would be posting updates for fans with video diaries from the studio. Recording took place, for the most part, at Treehouse Studios in Chesterfield, the personal studio of co-producer and friend, Carl Bown. Drum tracks for the album were recorded at Steelworks Studios in Sheffield, and split between Omar and Charlie due to Omar suffering from a broken wrist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fightstar Forum > Videos > Be Human Studio Diaries )〕 Recording sessions began in August 2008, and were due to finish in November. The band's vocalist, guitarist and songwriter Charlie Simpson confirmed tentative working titles as "War Machine", "English Way" and "Mercury Summer". He mentioned the former would have a distinct "rock opera" feel to it with heavy string sections.
After the bulk of recording had been completed, the band went to Air Studios (where film scores for ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' and ''Batman Begins'' had been composed) to record the string sections with Audrey Riley. Simpson later commented that "it was great to bring that element, that classical side, into it. It adds so much."〔 〕 Leading up to the album's release, the band indicated that the sound would be "quite different" to their earlier material with the inclusion of orchestral and choral parts. Despite this, it was noted that it would still remain "Fightstar", with their trademark dark and heavy elements. The band also regarded the lyrical content as their "most positive" to date and were pleased that the finished product was "everything we wanted".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Orange Music Interview - Fightstar )〕
