I wanted to hate Disturbed's version of The Sound of Silence.

[Skiles]

I don't, though. It's pretty good.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Yes. And I'm bringing my favorite spices.

It is an amazing cover for sure, but each version has a different feel to it. Disturbs version sounds more like a redemption song where as Simon and Garfunkel's version is more melancholy

[God-Says-No]

it was really good

[Still Me]

its a beautiful tribute...it's nice to see more of his vocal range tho

[1pooh4u]

I like it better than the original

I like it better than the original

I'll be real honest, I think I do too.

[MEXobiologist]

For me its okay. I still prefer the original though. Something less eerie or haunting about this one that doesn't let it stack up for me.

[StarPanda]

Yeah it was aight

[1pooh4u]

I'll be real honest, I think I do too.

 

The original is too light if you think about the lyrics, Disturbed's version throws more emotion behind the lyrics, not too much but enough to really get what the song's about.

see and thats why i prefer the original.

the sort of light and emotionally neutral tone of the harmonies in the original, makes it more haunting to me.
