The disturbed song soured on me after the singer signed bombs for use against Gaza. I don't care what your political motivations are, signing bombs meant for killing people is bad. Fuck that band.

Politics aside, I also think the cover just sucks. This isn't about the band, I think the covers for Shout and Land of Confusion are ok, but I really don't understand why people like the cover for Sound of Silence.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it sucks, I think it's fine, but it's super overrated

Remember the good ol' internet, where you just LimeWired their music, without ever knowing what shitheads they really are?

Godsmack was another like that for me.

What's wrong with Godsmack? I liked their first album, but didn't pay much attention beyond that.

Well this site covers what I initially bristled at, but maybe he took it down later.

Regardless, I think everyone's entitled to their opinion, but if you're willing to make those opinions public (and have any reach whatsoever), I just hope you can speak intelligently on the topic first. Just my $.02

Cheers!

Try the Pentatonix cover. Its much better with no baggage.

Oh. That's fucking horrible. I had no idea. That version of the song is amazing, but fuck that fucking guy.
