I had seen Disturbed at an Ozz Fest some years ago
David Draiman has an amazing voice and this song exhiibits that voice and range
In any case, one of my YouTube channels I follow is the Daily Doug and he repeated a review of this from 3 years ago and then a live version of the song
And yes, I like this version for better than the original S&G version
I also think the visuals bring the meaning of the song to the forefront as well

The TBA performance:

There are other ones as well, including a stage right view

"In April 2016, Paul Simon endorsed the cover. Additionally, on April 1, Simon sent Draiman an email praising Disturbed's performance of the rendition on American talk show Conan. Simon wrote, "Really powerful performance on Conan the other day. First time I'd seen you do it live. Nice. Thanks." Draiman responded, "Mr. Simon, I am honored beyond words. We only hoped to pay homage and honor to the brilliance of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Your compliment means the world to me/us and we are eternally grateful."

And yes I like many of their songs, including Inside the Fire, Down with Sickness, The Light, Don't tell me (with Ann Wilson), etc

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom

"Stricken" was my earliest obsession on Guitar Hero. But I never quite got THIS good.

I saw them at the Sturgis Rally a couple years ago. They were excellent. Great version of Sound of Silence.
