Watership Down - Come Back

[ravenhawking]

Am I the only one wishing for Joey Culver's vocals on this track? The autotune doesn't do it justice. There was something deep and majestic about his voice that completed the awesomeness of the drumming and guitars.

[eNeTic]

Why aren't there any updates anymore? Have you guys stopped playing? And the facebook link does not work! I want new album! :(

[vbooy57]

@eNeTic I noticed that too. I don't think they'd just stop without telling us, though. I think they're downing it for a bit because something big is happening.

[psychonavigator]

@vbooy57 I'm very worried. I sent off an email, though I don't know if I'll get a reply. I'm hoping that everything is alright and we're going to see them re-emerge again soon.

[vbooy57]

@psychonavigator I really don't think they'd quit without telling us. I'm hoping some big news is about to be released, maybe even the album itself.

[psychonavigator]

@vbooy57 It's all can hope for. All I've wanted is 3 albums this year. The first two have dropped. This is the only one I'm looking for now.

[ShizzMaster]

This tune is so fucking ridiculously amazing!!! I've had it looped for the past few hours whilst at work editing and I'm still not bored of it! Can't wait to hear the new album.

And by the way, I think the auto tune works for this beast ;)

[aryn32]

great song. even liked the auto tune for some reason. i want to buy some watership down but cant find it anywhere. any suggestions? i bought the crash of 47. want some original band material. great album but like derek better.

[SkinCrawlofficial1]

RIP Nathan. Derek u guys will never be forgotten.

[psychonavigator]

Just imagine what would be going on in this track if Chad's 4 other arms weren't currently tied behind his back in this video.

[iWentToNam]

Joey may not have written atomship's stuff but omfg i cant stand derek's autotuned voice... what a fucking shame, joey has a great voice

[eRealist]

@iWentToNam Take it up with Antares. lol

[iWentToNam]

@eRealist oh btw, ive watched the watership down song called "The Demise" and im wondering why they are screamo now? i dont know much about this band, i found them searching through drum covers...

[eRealist]

@iWentToNam not the same band.

[psychonavigator]

@iWentToNam stupid. lrn2read.

[moshimma1982]

@iWentToNam

I agree.

leave auto tune to tv hits pop crap.

[Joker779448]

Who's the douche that disliked this haha

[karlkomm1]

Is there a link for download. Would love to have this on my pod!!

[FaithIsAccidental]

Will this version (with the auto tune) be available to buy/download? I like it, but of course I'm intrigued to hear the final product with true vocals.

[eRealist]

@FaithIsAccidental I might release it sometime after the album is released.

[FaithIsAccidental]

@eRealist Thank you! :)

[TheBattery420]

sick!! :) glad to see you're still tearin shit up, although i do miss Atomship, alot lol

[eNeTic]

You people deserve fame, your music is amazing! I need this new album nooooow!!!

[ThNewBlack1]

SO excited for the new stuff. Also, I second come to CANADA! Vancouver is a huge metal city!

[Lakimoo]

120 listens on my iTunes and counting!

[mrchimmichanga1]

Insane song!! awesome.....CHAD is a BEAST!! You guys need to get your shizzle together and release an EP or something....if this is a taste of whats to come then Il certainly be buying anything you release.

[Valdemarion]

DON'T YOU GIVE UP ON THIS!!! THIS MUSIC MUST LIVE ON!!! IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU... IT'S ABOUT YOUR MUSIC...

STAND STRONG... AND SHARE... :)

[eRealist]

@Valdemarion Relax ^_^

[Valdemarion]

@eRealist :)

Fair enough...

[edksan]

when they re-record?

where do I get more information about you?

ai Ched hug and company.

[fog152]

what a great song !!!

[26jiffy]

did anything become of this song or band for that matter? this would be a great song with drums being the main instrument, and no auto tune.

[eRealist]

@26jiffy Were tracking a CD currently. I'm going to auto tune the drums.

[26jiffy]

@eRealist

ok. i love the band's sound. and im sorry to hear about Nathan, I've experienced loss like that and its tough

[psychonavigator]

@eRealist Sweet! Use the "I Am T-Pain" app on your ipod! Don't get no realer than that! And you don't even need to have studio!

[strocknb]

love it guys can't wait to hear more, oh how far yall have come sence the days of playing at my house and Mr. B's

[oilygulfcoaster]

@myalteregohatesme I agree it works well for this song.

[guitmesa]

you would think that after watching this video 862 times i would be sick of it, but its like crack

[oilygulfcoaster]

@guitmesa everyday I am compelled to listen and watch chad do his thing. @mookafuck he passes gas in his sleep better then you will every be able to sing.

[daronpeterson]

this shit is stellar! ur kit snds great and ur skillz kick azz!

[NGrayB]

Superman on drums... Yo DC Comics, its Chad Kent, not Clark Kent.

Cant effing wait for the album.

[itscoolbro2]

I actually prefer the autotune. It adds to the electric atmosphere.

[PrevailUpon]

The at gives the already somber mood of the song a huge boost.

[eNeTic]

I'm so looking forwards to this album! You deserve to be more famous! This is music that takes skill, not some mainstream douchebags looking for fame and sex!

[perrinaybara162]

We most definitely need more vids of Chads drumming. Every time I see some, or hear Mothra, Aliens, or Whitfield I am absolutely awestruck.

[profdank74]

Great song! Looking forward to hearing more. AT sounds good for this song too! Everybody has an opinion, but not everybody is an artist! Keep it up!

[r3ddr4g0n87]

I hope you don't mind but I downloaded this so I can listen to it whenever. I love music. I bought The Crash of 47 three times b/c my friends kept scratching my CDs. I told all my friends about you guys, and have been craving more music for many many years. I've been following your guys' updates, albeit silently, waiting and hoping through the breakup, name changes, and life altering experiences. I live for music, and I'm so glad and appreciative you guys are continuing to move forward.

[brrrslick]

This, is, amazing.

[paralyzing89]

kent... all time favorite drummer. derek, i can't wait for the completely finished version of this song.

[effTheMan]

You should release this version as a bonus track or something, the AT seems to exemplify the "we are lost and we are broken."  Great song :)

[TehDigitizer]

Amazing as always. I can't wait for the new album.

[xpowerofiandix]

Everybody needs to relax about the autotune. I'm guessing all of you are too dense to read his previous posts (which happen to be at the very top, so I don't know how you could possibly miss them). He said it's not going to be on the final version, so stop freaking out. Plus, using effects for voice is in no way different than using effects for guitar, bass, or any other instrument. If it fits the song, it fits the song. And personally, I see nothing wrong with the way it's used here...

[caseymac0304]

I am STOKED for this record!! Come on with it!

Nathan would be proud. The best of luck to all of you! 

[caseymac0304]

I am STOKED for this record!! Come on with it!

[MibsMibs999]

Hey, this is jared. Autotune? That is pretty un-unique man I gotta say. You can do better than that lol. You have the voice for it.

[02rh1975]

The AT is not so bad.......I'm not a fan but i really works here

It's addicting.....................­..... it's a Sad/Riveting song when i think about Nate

[edksan]

chad kent's a great drummer, there was a time looking for videos of him. I am an admirer and I know that soon the world will admire the well. Congratulations!

[trober1361]

This song is pretty addicting :D

[guitmesa]

I am not a fan of the auto tune shit but i think it fits this song!!!

[theXpert13]

i hate the voice synth thing, but i love atomship

[Lakimoo]

At first I didn't like the auto tune. Now after listening to the song about 15 times, I like it a lot!

[jeffScaldwell2]

I just got done with Freaker's Ball and had to listen to this song... I'm pretty addicted.

[jeffScaldwell2]

Derek, you gonna touch on 9/11?

[Lakimoo]

Amazing. Been waiting soooooo long for a new atomship/atomship down/watership down album, can't wait till it finally comes out!

[matthewjosephbarton]

This is really cool man. Even with autotune. It gives it a unique sound mixed with the drums and guitar. I love where youre going with this, you can feel the sadness. Ive listened to it seriously 20 times in a row, its so different I cant get sick of it. Come to Idaho please! These drums are hypnotic!

[LaRaffine]

auto tune is the gayest cop out ever

[jeffScaldwell2]

@LaRaffine if you haven't checked, it's ok to be gay.

[hcp2k9]

Derek...sounds amazing! can't wait for an album...bring that shit to Canada!

Jaz

[eRealist]

@hcp2k9 Fo sho killer! I'm glad to see you are still around you fkn ghost! haha

[ThundermanSze]

Very nice, gentlemen!!! Wish I was in a band like this. Maybe, in another life. Cheers to you guys!!!

[5thSeasonmusic]

Woah! Im so glad that you guys are back! I thought Watership Down was over.

This song sounds amazing and i like the auto-tune, i think 1 auto-tuned song on the album would just contribute to the diversity and dynamics.

[TheWhatYouNeed]

This a really cool song.. I hate autotune and Kayne West! haha, but this sounds really cool with Chad rippin the drums. I'd give anything to be that sick on the drums... that is the only reason I liked "Atomship"... the drums! (Plastic People) These lyrics are amazing, you should have this track and the new one on the new album. But don't change it that much, sing it like we know you can man and let chad beast out on the musical circles!

Again, awesome song! Can't wait for new stuff!

[jsin825]

Derek, Chad..... I feel your music, its not just for the ears by far!!

[xpowerofiandix]

Wow, this song just hits me directly in the soul. Goosebumps every time I listen. Glad to see you guys are back to doing what you do best. Can't wait to see what's next...

[perrinaybara162]

Loving the new work. Glad to see that you are back at work.

Would it be possible to get the lyrics for this?

[vbooy57]

I knew I heard this before!

reverbnation ( . ) com/derekpardoe#/artist/artist­_songs/768843

[Davidm714]

Damn!! That was awesome!! I like the autotune. Please put this version on the album.

[Mookaton]

wow! Fucking autotune??? Are you fucking joking? Get a real fucking singer ffs...

All excited to hear you guys are making new stuff and we get fucking autotune...Fucking FAIL.

Music= Great!

Singer= Go fuck yourself.

[FaithIsAccidental]

@Mookaton Read the fucking comment at the top of the page, you cunt.

[perrinaybara162]

@Mookaton Wow. You = FAIL. Why in the world would you even be compelled to believe that they would AutoTune? I know Kanye West failed you, but not everyone else is so desperate. The next time you have a thought, just let it go. Think before you speak, and read before you think.

[eRealist]

@Mookaton lol I'm sorry I upset you. Well not really.

[Baelfon]

@Mookaton you're a moron. Read his comments.

[seventhirtytwo]

@Mookaton Relax. It's not he's secretly using it to make himself seem better, like Kesha or Akon. It's used as an effect here, not a cheat.

[roflolwtfomg]

Can't wait to hear more :D I Atomship are my absolute fave.

[thekeeblerelf]

I'm not sure what compelled me to look around YouTube for Watership Down today, but I'm glad I did. Saw you guys a couple of times at the Stairs with my friends (Bad Charism members), and really enjoyed the sound. Atomship was slightly disappointing with the absence of Derek, but great nonetheless. Kent is a beast! At any rate, glad to see you guys back in the studio!

[Baelfon]

Man i love you guys, I'm so glad you are working on more material. Chad is such an awesome drummer....going to miss the hell out of Nathan. R.I.P.

[FigureSk8rxx]

i actually really like this with autotune...makes it more modern but still alternative/rockish

[themainegangster]

I really haven't listened to much of them under the name of Watership Down, but I really like them as Atomship. I like the music, but I can't stand the auto-tune vocals... If it weren't for that, the song would be up there with Mothera and Fireflies in my opinion...

[perrinaybara162]

@themainegangster The AutoTune was just for the sake of having lyrics for Kent to play to. Not going to be the end result.

[vajravibra]

I'm really glad you're back in the studio! This sounds great! I reckon you're doing Nathan proud, keep up the good work. Can't wait for the album.

[guitmesa]

great song man, its crazy but i feel like these lyrics have been in my head the last 2 months and you just showed them to me, i can just really feel this shit right now, great work as usual.

[Atomshipped]

You guys are amazing, I can't wait to hear more of Atomship/Watership Down. Derek you're much better than Joey :D

[thetanglefairy]

wow, can't wait to hear this all finished :D

[sugrc0atdlies]

I miss the days of seeing you guys at the Stairs and above the Dive. I'm looking forward to new wsd stuff. :) D, I absolutely LOVE your voice.

[koreedee]

I want this song! Anything Watership does is amazing.

[besetbyall88]

So stoked... definitely not forgotten. Such an inspiration Chad..

[cubanb261]

This sounds awesome. I hope ya'll make it back on the road. I loved Atomship. Continue this please! R.I.P. Nate Slade

[aedvillepimp228]

Awsome song glad to see that y'all are back at it hope to here more in the future

[Onehawkmadrid]

It should be, fits the song fucking perfect!

[eRealist]

Listen Listen... These were just scratch vox for Chad to lay drums. The AT wont be on the final. we can all relax.

[Irishface7]

God damn, I'm enjoying this, but the auto-tune is kicking my ears ass...

[mkmlong]

Kick ass. Glad to see you guys back at it even though it's minus one...

[guitarfreak6918]

Wow is all i can say i am a huge fan.. and since i picked up the crash of 47 i have been dying to see chad play... he is by far my favorite musician and this is coming from a guitar player..sweet song and excellent drums.

[vbooy57]

I don't remember where, but I've heard this before.

[lpsg405]

Great writing on this song but sadly, with the use of auto tune in it, I can't listen more than once.

[fujimo420]

Yes!!!!!

[MurderCapital666]

It sounds alright, sadly I can't stand any autotune stuff, I'm 100% sure it would sound better without it.

[xKrystieMacx]

Amazing! <3
