So you think it should look like the Napster interface? Or...?

All I am saying is, it's generally unproductive to spend your time 
writing to say "I think it should be different than it is" instead of 
saying "I like the buttons from such-and-so website, I like what you did 
on this other website, yadda, yadda, yadda..."

In general, saying only what you don't like about a design to a 
designer, without offering a specific suggestion of what they *should* 
do instead is probably the least valuable kind of comment to a designer 
and is the least likely kind of comment to get results from. If people 
are going to take the time to comment, make it something that the 
designer will actually listen to. "It sucks" doesn't give anybody 
anything to go on. "Can you make it look more like templatemonster 
template #96753?" is a better kind of comment.
