Random button for albums

I like to listen to whole albums, start to finish. Sometimes I have trouble discovering new stuff (not necessarily recent, just new to me). I would like to propose a button which would lead to a random album page, artist is not important. I can almost do it myself, by changing the number at the end of the URL on any album page. However, the problem is that some numbers are not tied to any album (or maybe they are, but I can’t access it due to regional filtering or something else) - I get a message page not found or something.

 

Please, make this happen :)

P.S. Flow and Made for you solutions are not always great because they are either based on what I listened the most so far or, sometimes, they push content that is already popular. I really enjoy discovering some almost-forgotten 80s band or something, so it should be just pure randomness for best results.

I like this idea and I wonder if a  ̶s̶o̶l̶u̶t̶i̶o̶n̶  workaround that could be immediately implemented would be a thread where someone asks for a random album and someone replies with one.

You could start the thread.

People can reply with just a deezer link, but no album name or artist. So you click the link and away you go.

You could even click on a link from a previous post. Someone could reply to any link and say they liked it, or it wasn’t their taste, with no other info that would give it away.

The whole thread could be a fun suprise box.

Just a thought.
