I probably have a RYM profile that I made to use for the same thing way back in the old random album club thread.
Don't wanna bother with that, but my Spotify method is working fine, so that's no problem. |
Searched for the name "weird" in the hopes something interesting would come up. Skipping a familiar artist like Weird Al, I came upon this album.
Three Weird Sisters - Hair of the Frog https://open.spotify.com/album/7HDdOHG67isjISuLVucPFH https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....LL._SY355_.jpg Pretty benign folk music. Three women singing. They've got good voices and sound like they're probably middle aged, which gives some nice weight to their voices. Feels a bit like Vashti Bunyan. Not very weird at all, so that's a let down, but pretty good. I like the more moody tracks the most. I'm adding all their albums to my Spotify lists so I can listen to them properly later. I might like this a lot if I live with it for a bit. 8/10 or whatever. I'm doing scores now? Apparently. |

Getting an album with 1 high rating in the randomizer is very exciting

I don't have RYM, so I'm using this random album generator: https://www.randomlists.com/random-albums?qty=1
^^ Can't speak to its album depth or genre variations. ---- Hayley Kiyoko - Expectations Spoiler for Album Cover:
Genre: Snyth-pop Year: 2018 General Pace: slow/chill The Skinny: Kiyoko is an actress and musician who has put out a few EPs, but this is her first full-length album. In looking over her bio, all I recognize is The Vampire Diaries and the crime-show spinoff CSI: Cyber. Best Song: "What I Need." Mall-happy and/or clothing-shop-in-a-department-store-so-that-you-buy-more-shirts banger that has shades of Ariana Grande. Worst Song: "Mercy / Gatekeeper." I was actually able to predict the lyrics at one point and the rest of it was all over the place. Most Varied/Interesting Song: "Molecules." Much more my style. Nice balance between vocals and instrumental, and the beat is catchy. Summation: I'm not a synth-popaholic or anything, but I loves me some electro beats + female vocals, so I was interested in checking out this album. The album cover is boss -- photo-realistic mixed with art or was filtered to look that way, I can't really tell which is which, in a good way. While Expectations does contain content and themes of struggle that are personal to Kiyoko, I was hoping that the music itself would be a bit darker, more ambiguous, or edgy, I suppose, based on the album cover, although that's probably my own biases working themselves in. Overall, the pace is simply too slow for me. Lyrically, it's super basic. While I won't revisit Expectations, my takeaway is that Kiyoko is making music because she wants to, so I can respect the artistic work ethic. |
It'd be cool if all of the mentioned random album generators were added to the OP.
Anyway, came up on this one. Might not listen to the whole thing but the first track is nice vaporwave that seems a little more focused and meticulously produced than most vaporwave albums out there.
