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.

They play it on 96.3 here in New Orleans. It's the Rock station. I was thrown off when I heard it the other day because it did not sound like Art and Paul. No way it's better than the original, it's just different.

I really enjoyed it. Was surprised to say the least.

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

I think it's better, just personal preference. Seems Disturbed's version emotionally conveys the song in a better way

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

To each his own and everything, but.. Damn I disagree.

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).

Same here. Not as good as the original because the original is basically a perfect song but well done.

The cover is great. But I don't even see it as the same song, so I don't see either one as better.
