I'm a big Disturbed fan, but this cover did nothing for me. One of the weakest songs in their catalog.
It was written by Paul Simon, so theirs is the original.
That's the reason I gave the caveat. Most people, that I share my opinion about this cover with, think that the original is better than Disturbed's cover. Maybe I'm just that easily influenced by commercialization of covers or whatever, but I do like Disturbed's cover more. Not significantly more or anything, I just think the difference in style in the original and the cover is not really comparable (like the canard of comparing apples and oranges), and I happen to like the cover more, without actually comparing them directly myself.
BTW, thanks for clearing up that Simon & Garfunkel's version is the original.
