I've noticed the new layout even before signing up under this username. At first it was annoying as hell. I couldn't find anything, I couldn't understand anything... Overall, I was pretty confused/lost/whatever.

HOWEVER, when I stopped flustering, I noticed numerous advantages of the new layout:
Firstly, I love the library ^w^ It's nice to look at and the pictures make the profile prettier, more personalized and 'fuller'. It used to be a bit boring to only look at the names in the charts...
Secondly, my favorite fact is that you don't have to wait until the end of the week to see your stats. I think stats are a lot of fun to look at and analyze, so this is a lot better than waiting for the end of the week.
Also, I like the little playlist in the profile page. It makes it easier when I'm searching for new artists. I'm also happy that the taste-o-meter is a lot less noticeable, since I don't find it really important.

Anyways, I seem to like this layout a lot more now. I'm a 'fast learner' kind of person, so it's easy for me to get used to new things, and now I see that the new layout is really great. Though I should think the staff should let the user choose the desired layout - maybe even give the user an opportunity to customize the layout. Lots of sites have these features, so I don't think it's impossible.

Anyways, I understand that customizing a website this big takes more then just 'zOMG I'm bored, let's change the layout' attitude, and that making this layout probably cost the staff a lot of time and nerve.

...though I would be happy if you would have my suggestion in mind ^w^ I believe it would pretty much leave everyone happy xDD
