“The new Spotify green sucks” – A look behind the scenes

It sounds to me like the author has already drawn a conclusion and is coming up with arguments to support it. Maybe it's true that everyone at Spotify really did like the new design (I'm sure most folks at Ford liked the Edsel), but it's also a very selective sample.

Personally, I am all for the style refreshes Spotify has been doing, but honestly, the instant it updated for me and changed to the mint-green, I really did think it was ugly (perhaps I am biased too?).

How can anyone think it is okay to write an article about a makeover without a before picture? This happens a lot and I find it borderline useless.

Does anyone else notice that this is pretty much the exact same colors as Line, who just released a music app?
