Liquid Glass feels like that earliest reveal of Aqua — flashy, and completely over the top and needing twelve months of refinement and public feedback to get the balance quite right. The problem is, Apple's yearly schedule doesn't allow for that kind of iteration before release; we have about a week or two to get our feedback in, but this plane's going to land in September regardless

@stroughtonsmith I think there is a a fundamental difference between aqua and this.

With aqua they were trying to bring an aesthetic we thought was not technically possible in an OS. It was flashy and needed lots of refinement as the first album of an (later) iconic band

This is over the top as a late stage album of a once great band, acting all flashy just to ape their former selves decades ago

Nothing here is new/fresh for the industry, they are just ideas that didn’t work again and again
