To each their own.

I'm personally quite excited for the new Avicii album as a whole - the collaboration with Jon only increases my enthusiasm.

As far as I'm concerned it's only a good thing that Jon is trying something new and out of his comfort zone, and who knows, it could be a hit!

I'm certain this won't be any sort of indication toward the direction of the new band album, but it's certainly a better way of staying relevant than WAN.
