Which albums are meant to be played in random order?
- Waterluvian 5y agoThe shuffle button has existed for decades so I imagine I’m not an exception in wanting this concept.
- bckr 5y agoTechno EPs don't really care whether you play banger #1 or #2 first, as an example.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoGreatest hits other type of compilation albums albums before the Beatles often were not composed with an idea that the order of play was important, even though they were of course in a particular order there are probably quite a few others, I would say maybe lots of albums supposedly are meant to be played in a certain order, but only in some of them does it make a great difference - for example if you randomize The Dark Side of the Moon as mentioned it would have some tracks that were no longer functioning in relation to the others.
- egypturnash 5y agoThose tracks do, however, function perfectly if you stick them into a multi-disc changer with They Might Be Giants' album Apollo 18, which contains "Fingertips", a four and a half minute collection of 5-10 second songs. Going between a bunch of British guys moaning about how terrible it is to be rich while fucking with a whole bunch of the most expensive recording technology available at the time is much improved by John & John interjecting "I found a new friend... underneath my pillow!" or "What's that bluuuuuuuuuue thing doing here?". For best effects I recommend also loading Nine Inch Nails' "The Downward Spiral" into the third slot of your CD changer.
