Yeesh.
Not an enormous fan of this update.
Like:
+ "Up next". Hold alt and click the "+" next to song to add it to the 'up next' queue.
+ Matched colours. It even seems to match the text colours!
+ Quick genius suggestions from the popup menu

Don't like:
- No dark background option for the main content section.
- Left/right arrows skip songs. Gets in the way as you navigate. You should have to hold down CMD and left/right to skip, IMO.
- It's slow. At first scrolling was really slow, but that was probably because it was downloading artwork from iTunes match. However, there are other parts of the UI that
always lag unacceptably - one such example is when trying to add songs to a playlist.
- No ability to select multiple artists from the left column in artist view.
- Columns in the album view should try to match disks when they can. Right now I'm seeing an album with 3 disks - the first column goes from 1-14 and includes track 1 from the second disk. The second column goes from 2-14 on that disk and includes tracks 1 and 2 from the third disk. It looks wrong.
- Have to click items in the popup menu for songs. Simply hovering over "Genius suggestions" or "Add to" doesn't expand those items, because they appear in-place.
- Have to click buttons to go next/previous for banner items on the store. I'd expect that I could two-finger-drag left/right to scroll through them.
- Double-clicking a song while other songs are playing brings up a popup dialog (really, Apple?!)
- Still no love for books. Why do they even include it?
Poor layout for multiple disks:

Oh, I'll add that this is on a RMBP 2.6/16
