As someone who has a strong love for jazz and avant garde playing (and singing!) I think it's awesome. The interaction between all 3 is awesome, the keyboard playing is mental, the vocals are epic, the drummer is tight, and the bassist has some tasty chops.
However, as someone who has also has a strong love for tasteful and toneful music and playing, it leaves me pretty cold. Other than the stabs they are musically somewhat all over the place relative to one another, like someone else has pointed out the keyboard seems to wash over everything, the vocals appear to be autotuned at points (which is not necessarily an issue!) just to support the riffing that he arguably doing more than the bass does, and I'm pretty sure I saw and heard the same bass riffs in their cover of Rolling in the deep.
I think there's a lot of merit in this piece, sadly I feel the merit is primarily academic.

I love the cover versions they do. This left me cold but I cannot deny the superb musicianship. Bloomin show offs.
