If you're complaining about how they reimagined the track, then honestly I have no words for you. That's possibly the worst reason to dislike something, because they wanted to make their own expression on the composition.
Truthfully, this sounds extremely successful to me. I think it's fantastic in how atmospheric and attention-grabbing it is.

Take it for what it is on its own. Too different? That's got to be the least effective critique I've ever heard, and I've sat through alot of shitty ones. It's helpful to able to, as eloquently as possible, explain reasons why we may or may not enjoy something in order to be taken seriously, but with that comes the requirement of knowledge of the intricacies of language and in this case, music.

This is not Port Rhombus, sure. Placing it in the context of a concert hall (or whatever) and classicial musicianship is an excuse for dropping some of the key elements of this song.
Being as dense of a composition it is... there were plenty of options for giving meaning to why this was even done - elaborating on melodies, hanging on some, really speaking through the roots of these chosen instruments. Nah, we'll just play it like a midi file through the wrong gear and no drum track....

The amount of people unwilling to allow this orchestra to do some experimenting of their own is amazing.
