Land Of Confusion
With "Land Of Confusion" Disturbed have found the right song for a cover. More power, more rock - better than the original.

Comments about Land Of Confusion:
This is the Tiger Woods of all Disturbed music. It kind of goes back to the 80's, so it is reminisent of whats-his-faces drop kick (you know, the dude from the Pats). It is the main reason i bought Ten Thousand Fists.

Genesis and disturbed both did a good job at singing "Land Of Confucion", but they dont come anywhere as close to singing it as good as IN FLAMES!!

Being a man growing up in the 70's and 80' Phil really hit home with me on a few songs. One of them being land of confusion during the regan administration.Yes I agree, Disturbed took it and made it better. But I'm glad there true to keeping the melody and message that made the original such a phenominal hit!

I really don't think I have ever defended Phil Collins in my life. Really, the homogenized drek he put out in the 80's made me glad the decade ended and would never return. Or so I thought. I turned on commercial radio (the only place to never hear anything ground breaking or different) and I sat in my car listening to this "neu" metal re-interpretation of a song I only liked because it had a video with puppets in it ("Spitting Image"). Ever since Limp Biscuit covered George Michaels "Faith" because, as the ever prescient Fred Durst put it "This is so cheesey, we gotta cover it" - I find myself wondering, could they possibly like this song, or are they just having fun with it? This song is bad. Genesis tortured us enough in the 80's with their music, and now we have the middle of the road metal groups putting out covers of middle of the road top 40 covers from a different time. Please bands, stop listening to classic rock radio and commercial radio if your searching for that cover song filler for your crappy album. There are so many worthy singer/songwriters out there with better music than you can ever write, just cover one of your songs and you can do the interviews like you wrote something worth while.

I just heard the cover version on the radio and was blown away at what a good job they did; superior to the original

It's easy for a cover to be better than an original - especially a cover, for a song which was (originally) done so long ago. I believe that if roles were reversed - and if Disturbed had wrote this song originally - and if Phil C had covered this - I'd still like the Disturbed version better.

Yeah I have to agree that the cover is way better than the original.

Suprisngly melodic cover from Disturbed. Out of my roomates, I was the only one that could tell it was not just a live version of Genesis after a night of drinking and steroids. Voted for the cover.

The In Flames cover of this song was far superior to either of the versions above

I think that they both sound good, but what worried me the most was listening to a classic rock station, and hearing genesis's version of it. and thinking it was disturbed.
