Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

Disturbed's covers were always more interesting than their original stuff tbh

Album Rating: 3.0

Not really, I never liked their covers that much that I would place them above most of the songs on their albums.

@scuro well that's true but it doesn't make the cover sound any less cheesy and forced. it's also obvious that the track shouldn't be judged by the original version only but while the song is as classic as it is, it's nearly impossible for me

Fair enough.





Their priest cover is pretty badass though.

"I love how people everywhere love the cover of SOS, but the sputnik elitist jump on the Disturbed hate bandwagon like a cat on a dead fish."

I think it sucks, and I'm just about the furthest thing from an elitist you'll find on this website. It's just, like, not very good...

It's aight.



I like how it's more upbeat than their other albums. It's the reason this album is slightly better than average, cause other than that it's just standard Disturbed.

The sound of silence is probably the biggest piece of shit I have ever heard lol.

This band fuckin blows haha

This version of The Sound Of Silence gives me cancer. *Goes to listen to the superior Nevermore versios*

Honestly their cover of SoS is one of the best cover songs I have ever heard. A cover song should not try to be the song, but transform it. Like Placebo's version of "Running Up That Hill" or The Clash's version of "I Fought the Law"

Agreed, Nevermore's cover is beyond brilliant.

LOL No I was talking about Disturbed's cover



Nevermore's is godly as well tho

Main problem with Disturbed's version is that is way too similar to the original.

I wouldn't say so actually.



S&G's original version was very folky and maintained a haunting/foreboding atmosphere through their duo vocals and almost trance-like string flicking. Disturbed's is clearly somber and emotional, foregoing the simple instruments and creepy feel for a more saddening tone and classic Metal vocals.

All I hear is the band trying to re-capture the essence of the original song but failing miserably because the finished product ended as an imitation.

disagree there, they certainly made a different approach to the song but it just comes off as extravagant shite

I don't really follow Disturbed, but enjoy an occasional uninspired but fun song from them. However, I just heard their cover of "The Sound of Silence" because my unit-mate was playing it in the bathroom.

I not only think it is a catastrophic disaster of a song, but also cannot imagine what could have possessed them to attempt cover Simon & Garfunkel. ("Fire It Up" might have something to do with that decision) The funny thing is that they actually try too. Draiman thinks he can sound soulful.

In all truthfulness the song actually makes me angry. Maybe I'm in a bad mood or something because normally I can just laugh off a joke of a song like this. But right now I can't.

The cover is great, everyone loves it, I think it's a pretty good take on it.

nah rsetness has some good points, it really is a dreadful cover. draiman is simply incapable of sounding actually soulful and as he tries to make the fragile-sounding original version an overblown epic, with his vocals the result just can't be any short of a trainwreck
