First the good: songs that can be played well by a string quartet are chosen and the
melodies are played very nicely.
Now the bad: the covers are too faithful and don't take any liberties with the songs which
can be a bad thing for a cover album. Also, these compositions lack the drive that is
provided by the consistent percussion work of Will Champion on the originals.
Overall, this is still a nice listen as the songs are still good (after all, Coldplay wrote
all but one) but a lack of distinction from the originals (other than the obvious
distinction of an entirely different type of musical performance) and the emptiness left by
the absence of any sort of percussion prevent this album from going anywhere too exciting.
