A lot of the talk around getting rid of skeuomorphism was about putting the content front and centre. This seems like the opposite of that. The content is reduced to a little box and the miles of padding that seems "necessary" for a modern UI is the real focus.

Skeuomorphism was a largely misguided but not altogether bad design direction. Putting content front and center is a separate design direction that has its own tradeoffs. Massive margins everywhere is another design direction that I think is almost entirely misguided.

I'm perfectly happy with the larger of the inset album art screenshots, but the smallest I agree is much too small.
