idk..i really like the clean vocals at the beginning but the screams ruin it for me. i don't feel like mad world is a song that requires screaming..it kinda misses the point. sorry, just my opinion
Tears for fears version is more interesting, Gary Jules made it slow and boring and this version brings it right up to date. As an 80's child i will always love the original, but my son loves it!!!
everyone does know the original is by tears for fears right?? everyone seems to be comparing this with Gar Jules version and saying "the two versions and not even including the original"
@luckyshottzZZ Oh really? maybe you should get your facts right because original song is by Tears For Fears... Gary Jules version is just a cover. If you still think I'm wrong you should search for some informations (for example - wikipedia)
they took a perfect song, and ruined it.... the song is not meant to be fast paced, or intense, the lyrics arent really felt with all the screaming though... dont get me wrong, i love screamo and hard rock as much as the next guy (probably more) but this song isnt meant to be that way.
@WardogK9 I agree with you, i love screamo and metal more than most people, at least people that i hang out with, and i do like this cover but i would've liked it better had it been an original song of theirs. knowing the real song and how it's supposed to sound, it kinda takes away from this one. i do still like this though
@TheDanrench I think both versions seem to express something different. This song is about being angry at the world. Gary Jules' version is sadder, more emotional. That doesn't mean this version is bad, though.
This sucks. The song cant be anything but a ballad. It loses meaning/effect this way. Gary Jules version will always be the best no matter what. Again, this version sucks big time
@ivorbigun20 I do realise its closer. I also realize the song is about losing your mind. I still think it sounds BEST as a ballad. I wasnt bashing Tears for Fears. But this song does not need a freakin breakdown and etc. Has the most effect as a ballad.
I deff wouldnt say this is better than the :original" made by tears for reafs.. i mean i give it to these guys even tho i have no idea who they are cause they picked an amzing song to cover.. but i believe that it is fair to say that no one honestly will do a better job on a cover of this song than Gary Jules.. it is meant to be sang slow, and no disrespect to screaming cause i love metalcore.. I just think that this song is better off being sung by gary Jules.
the actual music is good. not a fan of the singing voice... at all. the scream is legit. not the best, not close to bad. (wow, i sound like a critic.)
@Cabuncle They could have done it better by making it slower to release the feeling of the song more. I slowed it down after hearing the first time, uploaded it here : watch?v=L-CFMaxurl0
@dragonownz99 Oh wow. You sir, are pathetic. Get over yourself. THATS not talent. The singing voice was good though. As were the instruments. The screaming is whiny and annoying.
wow... a friend linked me this song after i told her i was listening to the gary jules version... i dont think im ever going to be able to think about it the same way again...
@LOLITSJACOB what? how was that a question? here you are trying to be a smart-ass grammar Nazi and u use a question mark where there should obviously not be one. what the fuck.
It's showing that I said it in a questioning manner. I could start publishing all of my comments as videos so then you can see and hear the way I express the things I say. Would that please you, Mr. Thunderhawk, would it please you if I did that?
@LOLITSJACOB um. only cuz u have the same name as me (in real life) i will agree and say yeah, your right and if you wanna make a video go ahead but its not necessary im just saying. your right.
gary jules makes the song very sad. i like it though. The original by tears for frears is amazing because its so up beat but the lyrics are sad. and this version is sweet. Different then all the others
do you guys no how metal used to be like the song iron man and the band kiss? and now its just like demonic growls. so in 50 years, how TERRIFYING WILL IT BE?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ur fucking retarded u think we have hard lives, look at the thirties u baby bitch and see what a hard life means.... u pussy emos think u have it so hard grow some balls and man up and stop cryin lik lil girls
people always tell others to "stop crying like a little girl"...and what is actually really funny is that there are plentyof "little girls" that can make a guy cry anyday
We are living in modern world where everything is possible so its pointless to talk about what will happen in future... mybie it will go back to the basic rock or just became eaven more harder... I think it will be eaven more harder becouse of lifes we live today...
idk..i really like the clean vocals at the beginning but the screams ruin it for me. i don't feel like mad world is a song that requires screaming..it kinda misses the point. sorry, just my opinion

"Hello there fellow metalheads.
Instead of a Metal rebellion i propose a new plan.
1. Instead of bashin other metal artists, we need to unite. We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together.
2. Watch more and other metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list
3. Instead of bashing pop, promote metal with logical reasons, not just "METAL RULES!!"
