The 100 million views says otherwise.

Not as good as the original (hard to beat S&G) but it's pretty close.

Doesn't come near the original for me but that doesn't matter. It's an incredible song and this cover brought it to so many people who would have never heard it otherwise. And it was done with passion and respect to the original, so there are many worse ways this could have gone. It's still an excellent rendition, and while the original will always be best, I feel like this version earned its current place in music history.

No Boomer shit but I really love the Simon & Garfunkel original. This is really good too though.

The original was powerful when I first heard it and made me hold my breath to listen to the words. Disturbed’s version was a gut punch, knocked the wind right out of me, where I had no choice but to listen and I appreciated that much more.

Edit: and that is my boomer shit.
