I thought this was an interesting insult, got me to Google it. Well I'm listening to their music right now, not bad.

Back in the day we were all annoyed by "MMM mmm mmm mmm", though in a guilty pleasure kind of way.

A friend of mine suggested I listen to the entire album. I thought he was joking.

To this day it's in my top 20 albums of all time. Seriously some good shit.
 
Its not bad actually. Disturbed is well known for doing covers. I really liked the Land of Confusion and Shout covers they did.
 
Sorry but this made me laugh really loud.
Not sure what it is. Probably the way he sings (nah more than that). Holy shit, tears rolling over my face.

It's not an insult, the performance instantly reminded me of the crash test dummies "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", which is a great song.

This song on the other hand... is not for me.

I liked it. Not amazing, but nice.

It sure beats the 10,000 covers on YouTube of Sound of Silence by female vocalists re-creating the song with a whimsical/airy sound. Like, I get it, it's a great song and awesome to cover, but most of the covers (based on me looking into them recently for about an hour) all sound nearly the same.
 
I enjoy it when he's actually singing. When he adds the coarseness to his singing voice is when I begin to tune out. Dudes got a decent voice.
 
So I finally watched the full rendition of this, after being late on the GOW4 teaser. It wasn't mind blowing, but I don't get some of the hate. I read over Disturbed's Facebook and saw that Paul Simon reached out to congrats the band. If he enjoyed it, I will as well.
 
I heard my local Rock station dj say that this is his most requested song. It's not just any rock station...105.3 San diego which is pretty much the only rock station in the southern part of socal.
