Got you covered.

The problem with this cover is how fucking tryhard it sounds. The comments section on YouTube is actually cancer

...

It's so over-the-top melodramatic that it feels disingenuous and cheesy.
I'm surprised people on Youtube ate it up as much as they did.

But then again I'm not that much of a fan of Johnny Cash's rendition of Hurt either.

EPIC MUSICâ„¢

Reminds me of when Van Halen did You Really Got Me. They "rock-ified" it despite the original rocking plenty. It was this totally clueless, ego-driven thing, adding nothing to the original and misunderstanding it entirely.

Paul Simon achieved dramatic effect with just words, a guitar, and two-part harmony. Disturbed turned it into this string-drenched, enlightened-trailer-trash thing.

there are literally over 40 different artists, bands, productions who have covered this fucking song. Additionally there are a ton of amazing artists through time covering favorites of theirs, making them better or worse. example of a good cover; Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. example of a bad cover: Disturbed's Cover of tHe SoUnD oF sIlEnCe.

Kate eternally BTFO

My dad liked this cover. He literally showed it to me and told me great it was.

Also, there's a better metal cover of Sound of Silence, and it's this:

Disturbed is a terrible band. Now and forever.

Unironically this

Tori Amos made two terrible songs into two good ones.

It's more than just string drenched. It's literally just a Wagner stereotype. As well as the rest of what you said.

It's funny. She could save other people's music, yet she could not save herself.

Not as bad as current kate bush

i like the original more, not enough love for s&g today, either way I wager Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (Led Zeppelin) yes its a cover

It's really fucking bad dude, really obnoxious and over the top
