Interesting question ohwp. I do think that recommendation systems are only going to get better. Lyrics and sentimental analysis are definitely going to play a part in that. One of the main reasons we built Soundwave though was to take a more human based approach to music discovery. Personally, I'd take three friends who have similar hardcore tastes than me over any system (currently built) because I too was annoyed at how poor the recommendations were. Our app will hopefully reduce the friction in finding those people with similar tastes.
