The fuck is this shit? The current Google Play Music app shows two options you can jump into without going to the menu button.

Before you could easily see recently played, some radio suggestions, etc. Even that wasn't great because shit like your current library was hidden by the menu when it could have been up top.

Why are apps relying so much on side menus when there is so much more screen real estate and why are the constantly making shit more of a hassle?

Because that's part of material design, keeping things minimalistic. Why would you want a shit ton of stuff right when you open the app. I'd rather have the two options when I jump in the car to start playing something right away and drive off if I'm in a hurry. If I have more time it doesn't burn that much more calories sliding the bar out for some additional info.

I welcome minimalistic apps like this. Where if I need more functionality and tweaks, I have them. If I don't, then they're out of sight. I don't know why so many people hate it.

There are fucking 9 options, all of which are huge album art or icons. So instead of being able to go to the last album I listened to instantly I have to click another option, go to another option, and then finally I'm there.

I dont think most people have 1080p on their phones

Spotify doesn't have this problem.

I'd switch but GPM is a better value when you consider Youtube Red, either way it's a trend.

Spotify will show 2 options in a few months while Google Play Music is 6 months ahead 1 option.

Here is the app in 2012 - Galaxy S3 era.

Notice how much information is displayed - you can easily get to albums, artist, recents, etc right from the front page without having to go to a retarded swipe menu because it's trying to take advantage of the massive 4.8 display.

Is that a big problem?
Those are still 5 to 6 inch displays.
