A lot is being made of Disturbed cover version of the Simon and Garfunkel classic The Sound of Silence. I do appreciate those that, when covering a song, put their own spin on it, and Disturbed clearly does that:
However, I have two big issues with the Disturbed version of the song:
1) The auto-tune. Can anyone sing without it anymore? Holy crap, I'm so tired of hearing it.
2) What made the original great - not only great, but majestic - were the harmonies. That is what truly makes the song.
So, if one is looking for a cover, I suggest one looks up Tim and Phil Hanseroff's cover. The twin brothers are part of Brandi Carlile's band, and every once and a while, they'll do it in concert. Here's an example:
No huge orchestration. No major accompaniment. No freaking auto-tune. Just a couple of brothers, a whole lot of harmony, and even more talent.
Enjoy.
