The song is everywhere and has been since its release. So, what does the PJ community think of the song?

    I appreciate the gesture of covering a great song, but the Simon and Garfunkel version is one of my fave songs. The live in Central Park version is amazing.

    It's just dull...so dull i'm indifferent to it.

    I don't find it interesting enough to warrant calling it a Pile of Feces.

    Any positive attributes is because of the song itself, not because Disturbed is doing it.

    i think it's terrible. the voice just doesn't have the range for the song. music is well done but can't get past the voice.

    I think they have done much better covers over the years

    My 63 yr old MIL and her 64 yr old sister were raving about this song. They heard it on the radio. I had to ask them again just to verify when they mentioned they liked a song from Disturbed.

    They played a bit of it and I wasn't that impressed. I love S&G and nothing is going to top the original. The guy singing sounds like the guy from Crash Test Dummies.

    This 61 yr old isn't impressed either. I'm not sure if anything is going to beat hearing Paul Simon sing it several years ago with nothing but an acoustic guitar as accompaniment.
