it's pretty gross, and feedback has been, like, uniformly overwhelmingly negative so I guess we'll See What Happens. I'm hoping it'll grow on me, which is possible, but a lot of it's been made super unwieldy.

that being said, it's not like I'm gonna stop using it. I'm a sucker for all this statistical muk wrt my music listening.

I don't think it is that horrific but it seems like a design that would have been used before the famous one everyone new and loved. I like the upper half of the profile pages, but it's very unappealing otherwise. Not to mention that nothing I've scrobbled in like two weeks has been counted at all. I'm more annoyed by the interruption of services rather than the layout itself.

I might need to go look at it despite never using last.fm, but I know how often I've had to get adjusted to new layouts on YouTube so I'm sure the users will get used to the new look sometime.

I tried the beta out for a bit before it went live and immediately nope'd out of it. I mean, I get that they feel the need to overhaul their website given how admittedly dated the previous site was, having hardly changed in the seven years that I've used it, but I'm immediately put off by how it seems to fill up your screen, clearly catering to mobile browsing. Plus, I really can't stand circular avatars. I know it seems to be the 'modern' thing to do, but it's such a pet peeve of mine having the border radius go nuts like that, haha.

I have to agree with others. The site layout is so horrible. Maybe it's just because I'm not very big on total layout changes or something. :/ I thought the old layout was just fine. They should have an option to keep the old layout like what Livejournal did.

Am I the only one who thought this thread was about Last.fm closing down or something?

I don't have my music on my laptop so I haven't even like...paid attention to last.fm. I guess I shouldn't go look if it's really that bad, lmao.

I remember glancing at it when they were first letting people check out the beta look and being upset that there was no "compatibility" check on others' profiles even though that was always a fairly worthless measure. I don't think they've added it back in?

Luckily I don't really use Last.fm at all even if I diligently scrobble whenever I can, so the new layout won't make a difference to me. It's a bit hard to read (too much contrast, imo) but I think only because the old site has been stuck in the early '00s for so long that all of us are used to the old layout. New people probably won't have an issue and we'll all adjust in time.

The layout doesn't seem that "horrific" in my eyes? Not very music listening like, but I never really got into using last.fm, so.
