I absolutely love "Cough Syrup". As such, I've heard it many, many times now and have grown accustomed to every single aspect of it.
I find rating covers like this to be difficult because in essence, there's nothing really wrong with it. Sure, the vocals are a little weak, and while the production doesn't match the original (though to be fair to them, I wouldn't be happy with any changes whatsoever), for Glee standards it's pretty damn good. They also didn't infuriate me by cutting out the bridge which they easily could have done. Although something does bug me with the drums, it's mostly fine.
I begrudgingly give this 4* although there is absolutely nothing that implores me to choose to listen to this over the original, which I do suggest everyone to listen to, it's amazing.

Klingt nicht schlecht, aber im Grunde eine 1:1 Kopie von Young The Giant. Sehr genau nachgesungen von Darren Criss - 3*

I pretty much agree, it sounds a little off in parts, the vocals aren't as brilliant and neither is the instrumentation. Still, it sounds very similar and this is also one of their best efforts.

Also, what separates this from the original is the build-up to the final chorus, it just doesn't do it justice.

On par with the original for me.

Ach stimmt; das mit der Werbung war Blödsinn, der Song ist natürlich aus der letzten Glee Folge vor der Winterpause. 4+

Bei der Interpretation des Young The Giant-Stücks ist man hier jedenfalls keine grossen Risiken eingegangen – 3+…

momentan auf #65 in den Billboard Hot 100 sowie #67 in CAN stehend…

This is obviously not as good as the original, but it is still quite good.

Good cover. Exposed me to the amazing original. I like it.
