I'd like to agree.. but the only reason they are getting so much exposure is the backstory.
The Sound of Silence by Disturbed is a far better idea of how a cover by a band should improve and make the song so much better.

Yep, liked that cover. On the subject of fantastic covers though, I still think nothing beats JC's cover of Hurt. Hell, Even Trent Reznor basically said that it was now JC's song not theirs.
