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:
It's hard to believe that a band that makes it's living be "dark" couldn't "out-dark" a band like Genesis. I don't have a problem with the cover, but there is something very robotic, very sterile and cold about the original. I think if you remove the original version from your conceptions of Genesis as a band, you will see that this is a very powerful song, particularly given the circumstances in which it was written

While the Genesis version was a very strong sond with an even more powerful message, Disturbed pumped hard rock into its veins with a video with that has an unrivaled style. This is the king of covers.

I'm on the positive side with both. I was in college when Genesis version came out and me and my ex were kind of Collins/Genesis fans, though I was really a hard rocker at heart.
Even though I'm in my 40s, I still like new metal in a lot of cases. When I first heard this version in my car, I felt like pulling over and pumping my fists in the air. Definitely took a good song and made it even better. It's harder, but still faithful to the original. I like Disturbed's version very, very much.

Either way you slice it, the image that Phil portrayed in the original video was both entertaining and somewhat accurate... Disturbed hit the nail on the head with their video, on the current state of things, and possibly the near future.

Utter garbage. I love how people badbouth the 80's... yet they can't come up with anything new. This is the end of a creative era for artists all over the world. Instead of smoking a doob and watching porn, try writing a song for once instead of leeching off others' work. Disturbed is a second rate talentless dreg. Nobody will care where they are in 10 years.

The song should have been left alone, some things just are better as original. Just the same old problem, groups have run out of their own ideas and find it easy to remake another groups songs. Problem is the younger people that don't listen much to the older songs and then think this is new and cool when many of us already been there and done that.

This is the link for the remix.

I did a remix of it, by fusioning the Disturbed & Genesis versions altogether with Sony Vegas. The title is called Land Of 20Fusion, which means the original was done 20 years ago, and the cover version is now.

I really enjoy the metal edge that Disturbed branded on the song, though I do have a deep appreciation for the Genesis original. Disturbed brings out the serious and political side in their animated video, though I always got a kic out of the Genesis puppets too. Haha. Both stand on equal ground for me.

I personally like both versions. While I definitely like the sound of metal better, I think that both versions are necessary to the time period at which they were each made. The Land of Confusion is meant to be a political statement and is just as necessary now as it was when Reagan was president!
