The Genesis version is great. The Disturbed version is great as well. Thank you to Genesis for making the original in their own style. Thanks to Disturbed for putting their own spin on it. Both versions, with their distinct styles, are amazing.
Genesis: More of an authentic 80's feel. Good for if you like retro. Disturbed: More metal like with a much more head-banging hard core feel to it. Honestly, I think they are both awesome in their own ways.
I think Disturbs style is perfect for this song. No one else could have covered it any better in fact i think I prefer this one but I thank genesis for creating this awesome song.
And now I'm 2020 it still rings true... first time I have heard Disturbed's version, love it as much as Genesis version.. Disturbed does great cover songs!!
Genesis (80s): This song telling the problems in today's world. Disturbed (00s): Same song repeating that again, but in more angry way, cuz nothing didn't change.
I cant say this enough: Disturbed made the perfect cover of this song. Any other band wouldve probably ruined it. Disturbed made this song so perfect that I don't know if I like the original or this version better.
Politicians will always be the same - Always making a promise they could never actually keep, always just telling us what we would like to hear. It'll never change.
Like Assad...killing, oh, EVERYONE he can of his own people...until President Trump stopped him. (Syria for those who didn't know. Yeah, he killed 500,000 people under Obama's administration, despite his saying he'd do something about it...he didn't.) Kim Jong Un and his firing failing SRBCs. Thank God they failed, but what if that fat, nasty little despot is successful with an ICBW? Say goodbye to San Francisco or my hometown, Seattle. Then there's Vladimir Putin. He isn't exactly a sweet little man. He's Bug-S!#= CRAZY...Just hides it well. . So, yes. The men of power are losing control...of their MINDS...by the hour.
A lot of people can't handle the truth about what's going on in our world, but they rather listen to pop garbage that mainly sang about sex, drugs, and cheating. I've listen to Disturbed 24/7 , thier music are truthful and shows mostly what is really going on in our sick and twisted reality.
I love both version. I usually don't like covers, but when they play it in entirely in their own style rather then copy the other artists style it is nice.
This song got me & my mom hooked in Disturbed. Obviously, my mom knew and introduced me to Genesis' original version, so when we heard this version it was only natural for us to like it.
the word genesis for me when I went down fast looked like Genitals real quick my mind is stuck to one thing like Dlives he said Semen when it said Semum
I was 17 when Genesis released this. I was 35 when Disturbed released *this* and I loved it then and now. I like to joke that I never once told my kids to turn that crap down. It was always crank it. Of course I raised them on hard rock so... Yes I was the one who bought this CD "for my son," yeah that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Peace, take it easy.
These lyrics are even more relevant in 2021 than they were when this song was released. What kind of future do you want for your children and their children’s children? And what are you prepared to do to ensure that future?! It’s time to STAND
The homage that this pays to the original Genesis version is fantastic and shows just how talented Disturbed really is, they can truly cover just about any band and make covers that rival the original. Songs like this are why I think they should be inducted into to R&R Hall of Fame in 2025.

Mega Man Congrats Mega, you know the lyrics to this song! Nobody else here knew them, I am so grateful to you and I'm sure others are too. See, it was impossible for me to process what the words to the song were, and I can't read so even though the video had the lyrics in them, it just wasn't working for me. But I can read what you wrote here.. And I can also write decently..... So I CAN READ!! Oh thank you SO MUCH Mega, you have made me realize my reading powers, and maybe I can use my hearing powers too!!!!! **flies away shitting rainbows because I'm nyan cat**
It's a pretty odd thing when you can apply this song (and many others like it) to all times in human history. A certain cynicism pervades this song, and the minds of most people as well. Why is that? Any ideas?
This is one of the best Genesis covers out there. Two bands (that I know of) covered 'In The Air Tonight' and both failed to capture the feel of the original. Disturbed, however, did this song justice.
I love the fact that this song was originally a song by Genesis which commented on a Conservative government run by Margaret Thatcher during the cold war in Britain at that time in the eighties. I also love the fact that this song has a double barrelled meaning by today's standards (by the cover band Disturbed) as both an anti establishment song about the west (Which Genesis meant it to be as much as Disturbed) and an equally modern anti-Conservative government song which has as much meaning to a British audience today as it had at the time of the original songs release. For that reason I salute this song.
This song is anti libtard establishment murder factories at planned parenthood and divide and conquer strategies by the evil left. Just look where the money is going. To all their 3rd and 4th houses. Socialist hypocrites.
This was my first Disturbed number !!! I said to my son , what is on your t-shirt! Put it on You Tube for me? No ,No, he said , I think you don't like it. He had it very wrong*** I inmidedly was in love with Davids voiche*** But the Immotailized cd is ever more better , and I love it that the got GOLD for it*** Congratulations guys***
Joelynne Rubio Sh*t's been happening since the 80's this song was originally written by a group called Genesis sung by Phil Collins, during the 80's and all the cold war sh*t was going down, same dance different people
This is what a cover should be! They stayed relatively true to the original version, but put their own twist on it to make it their own. Kudos to Disturbed!
This takes me back to 2007 when i was 11 years old haha :) inside on a bright summers day drinking orange juice and playing wow, the bc expansion, and today this song still slaps

I like both myself reminds me of alot of things
InFlames version is great in its own Reich too
and thank you dave for letting phil have a hand in this cover too!
@Mark Schnabel. I don’t think it’s blasphemy in this case that IMHO the cover is slightly better than the original
Great song!
Somehow this song fits like a glove today! Perfect lyrics. "Too many people making too many problems"
www.marxists.org
Only more fitting as time marches on. That's evergreen my dude.
Especially here in fucking Germany!
Nope, I like the song but the lyrics are bullshit.
Most of our problems are caused by the very few.
Never has this song held more meaning and so relevant to the world around us than it does right now
Genesis: More of an authentic 80's feel. Good for if you like retro.
Disturbed: More metal like with a much more head-banging hard core feel to it.
Honestly, I think they are both awesome in their own ways.
They both sound super similar too but they have their own signature pieces of it too with the own voices
It's almost as if an alternative/pop band sang it and then a hard rock band covered it.
Yep, both great, little bit more credit to Genesis as it is very well written
I agree 100%
Disturbed has animated music video to it, therefore it's infinitely Superior
I think Disturbs style is perfect for this song. No one else could have covered it any better in fact i think I prefer this one but I thank genesis for creating this awesome song.
+Vinny Banana i've got something interesting. Disturbed covered The Sound of Silence. You should listen to it.

Disturbed (00s): Same song repeating that again, but in more angry way, cuz nothing didn't change.
2020: "hold my mask"
Welp 2020 now so i guess were getting a death metal cover of this song.
@@orangerightgold7512 So I guess every 20 or so years, someone covers this song and it keeps getting heavier and darker. Sounds about right...
Another Day in Paradise hasn’t changed either.
Lol angry because it's 100x worse.
I cant say this enough: Disturbed made the perfect cover of this song. Any other band wouldve probably ruined it. Disturbed made this song so perfect that I don't know if I like the original or this version better.
Disturbed's video to this song was less freaky believe it or not.
Disturbed makes great covers off almost anything. I honestly didn't even know this was a cover
Funny this song was written about stuff going on in the 80s, but it seems even more relevant to what's happening today.
RageFace must of been a not so distant future warning back in 83
Politicians will always be the same - Always making a promise they could never actually keep, always just telling us what we would like to hear. It'll never change.
David Mosteller Yep.
More relevant because of SJW spreading misinformation and brain washing people by controlling the media.

.
So, yes. The men of power are losing control...of their MINDS...by the hour.
Wow, I'm amazed! Disturbed didn't stray far from the original song.
Pretty damn good cover!
David AND the band NAILED it more than dead on ...... like both versions but this one has so much more passion & intensity!
There's too many men, too many people
Making too many problems
ain't that the damn truth..
IKR. It would be depressing if this was not such a fucking awesome song!
Completely true
amen
A lot of people can't handle the truth about what's going on in our world, but they rather listen to pop garbage that mainly sang about sex, drugs, and cheating.

Same here xD
Literally the same story here. Lol.
same here :D
I was born in 1966 and I loved Genessis version and I love much more this version...it's so fresh and actual.... p.s. sorry to all for my english :{
Your English is fine. And I too prefer this version.
I heard that song live,it was amazing. When a whole crowd starts singing 'this is the world....'
We heard in concert! Was amazing!
the genesis version came out in '86, this one almost 15 years ago..... and yet.....
still relevant.....its so sad....

Yes I was the one who bought this CD "for my son," yeah that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Very good interpretation of a classic rock song.

It's Very Much Truth In This Song How The World is!!!!!
There's too many people making too many problems....
Soooo True!!!!!!
There is so much truth in this song
In all their songs.
i have listened to both versions of the song, and out of the two, i really can't tell which is better
They're both equally as great
Your profile picture is bootyful
Conspiracy theory. This is the original singer, he just got better, and Disturbed is Genisis' older, edgier self.
The homage that this pays to the original Genesis version is fantastic and shows just how talented Disturbed really is, they can truly cover just about any band and make covers that rival the original. Songs like this are why I think they should be inducted into to R&R Hall of Fame in 2025.
One of the best songs out there and Disturbed makes it even better 😍
Me: Land of confusion

But I can see the fire's still alight
Burning into the night.

Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round

To make it a place worth living in.

When everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, men of power
Are losing control by the hour.

This is the place
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go round
Tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in.
I remember long ago
When the sun was shining
The stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.
Too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.
This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we're given

To make it a place worth fighting for.
