I agree with the sentiment, but I don't agree that his approach here is all that radically different from what Soundcloud has right now.
It is certainly simpler, but overall the layout is the same, the icons are the same, where you would find or do something is in the same place.
Granted he doesn't get the feedback that the Soundcloud team has, but I think he is approaching this as a Soundcloud listener, while the Soundcloud team also has to take artists into account, and as I mentioned I think that's a difference in approach worth exploring.
