Part of that feeling involves piecing together that person's tastes and whether you can be bothered digging deeper into their collection. A more accurate recreation of that feeling might be to pick a random user with a large collection (or maybe a couple of users that are mutual friends) and select from their owned albums? Discogs would potentially be a better fit but you'd be veering into serious collectors there rather than a random person's basement.

I think it's neat though, enjoyed refreshing and seeing loads of weird album art!
