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.
