List of albums to try

I created a recommendation algorithm for music albums based on moods from Allmusic.com. Each mood was represented as an adjective like Ambitious, Flashy, Bombastic. Each column is a mood, while each row is an album. Each mood is one-hot encoded. To find an album similar to the album you like,

1. Get moods for album you like
2. Encode moods as 1, 0 valued columns.
3. Find similar albums using cosine similarity and one-hot encoded albums. Result would be something similar to the image above, where the first row is the album I put as input.
