The new version of google play music looks ugly with orange theme XC

Finally I saw the revamped Play Music today. Hmm can't call it ugly but the version which was there before looked way better. I don't understand why Google is moving away from their very own Holo light & dark guidelines.
guidelines
White & orange color scheme is squeezing more juice out of the battery due to added brightness. Few animations here & there minus the Now, the app functions exactly the same as before.
----------------
Haven't checked it out but I am not sure how 'Listen Now' (originated from Genius) will work when Play Music content is not yet available within subcontinent.
Played for like 10 minutes on the app, I sense it's less user friendly then it was before. And I like that.

Google is leaving black colored backgrounds from practically everywhere.

i have the latest version of this app installed, everytime i go to task manager the google play music is running but i have not opened it. even after closing if i check it reopens. how to fix this issue?

It might be a service running in the background. You can't stop it permanently until you hibernate it or disable it.

Greenify to the rescue!
