Easy now....

it is a really fricking good cover, I've listened to it a number of times already, but the original still beats it. barely.

They are getting a ton of praise for that cover. I actually haven't listened to the new album in its entirety.

It's damn good. Don't know if I would say better though.

I'm surprised by how well Disturbed played this song. It's a good song.

I saw them in Birmingham a few weeks ago and they played it. It is fantastic live as well. Just a very clean and very well done cover.

When I first saw that they covered it, I was prepared to hate it but they did a really good job with it. Not better than the original IMO but I could see why someone would think so.

It's an excellent cover. Unexpectedly great - not because I downgrade Draiman/Disturbed's talent, but because of the style differences.

Easy now. Tap the brakes. It's a great cover. Let's leave it at that.

I'm not a fan of this cover and they are playing the crap out of it on the radio.

I'm not saying the Disturbed version is better, but I think you can understand the words a lot more clearly which gives the song more impact when coupled with his delivery.

I've heard the S&G version a million times and had no idea what the lyrics were (except for the first two lines).

Meh. He's singing about two octaves lower than Paul + Art and they slowed it down too much.

I was pleasantly surprised by the cover. My buddy told me about it before I heard it and I assumed Disturbed was going to try to metal it out and it would be awful. It's not bad at all.

I love this song. I'm a huge Paul and Art fan. But I have to admit to myself that I like this version better. And TBH, the original was one of my favorite songs. It's got perhaps the best opening line of any song.

I think it's amazing.

Looking forward to seeing them on the 11th.

It's freaking incredible. Whoever says that they don't like that is an idiot and has no taste in songs.

Very good cover
I agree it is almost a different song the way it's done by Disturbed
