I'll admit this could drive someone crazy :D
Let's go over this playlist:
Metallica -> Anthrax = OK by me
Anthrax -> Death Angel = still OK
Death Angel -> Chris Poland -> King Diamond = can't comment on hat one,
don't know Chris Poland
King Diamond -> Badlands = still get it, it's softer than most of the
previous ones, but that's because King Diamond is so very Judas Priest
influenced
Badlands -> Alice in Chains = still OK by me
Alice in Chains -> Blind Melon = seems a stretch to me, but I'm not
really familiar with them
Blind Melon -> this particular Aretha song = I'm afraid it's acoustical
analysis (which is what MusicIP is all about) is probably somewhat
similar, especially as
Aretha -> Billy Joel actually again makes sense to me.
Have you looked if somewher in that sequence MusicIP (and hence
Sugarcube) didn't find a match to the playing song and queued a random
one? I'd guess that to be the case, but if it isn't, just let this mix
continue for a while, even if it isn't what you're really in the mood
for right now.
In my experience, MusicIP mixes, generated continuously by Sugarcube,
tend to go in waves: e.g. if you start with some really uptempo song, it
will gradually slow down, just to pick up the pace again later on. When
I'm home alone, I unblock all genres, and I've had it go from Meshuggah
all the way to Elvis Presley and back up to Children of Bodom, which at
first glance may seem strange, but when taking the time to really
compare things like key, signature, passion, rythm, ... of the song the
individual steps actually make sense.
I know this doesn't really help you if you want to create a "metal &
related" mix, but that's wher the blocking of certain genres comes in
handy, although I too feel like more than 3 would be welcome, as
sometimes i'd like to let it loop through exactly that. Maybe it's
possible with moods or recipes first created in MusicIP mixer, but I
don't know.
As an aside: this playlist clearly indicates Metallica isn't metal
anymore ;)
