Go to Wikipedia's main page, hit 'random article' fourteen times, and make an album (or CD, if you don't understand the word 'album') out of the results.
Here's two of mine...
Artist: Stan Vanderbeek
Album title: Division of Hindmarsh
Track listing:
1. Ratnagiri (Orissa)
2. List of moths of India (Notodontidae)
3. In the Wake of Separation
4. Dorsa Ewing
5. Irini Terzoglou
6. Ruthenium red
7. Uhthoff, Ontario
8. KVOS-TV
9. The Southlands (Warhammer)
10. Chicago Tribune
11. Mount Woodring
12. Dick Clark's LIVE Wednesday
Looks to me like a bizarre, post-modern album of sorts...many instrumentals and spoken word songs; not commercially successful but absolutely adored by Stan's meagre fanbase.

Artist: Leandro Macedo
Album Title: Royal Victoria Gallery for the Encouragement of Practical Science
Track Listing:
1. Uniform Probate Code
2. Mercedes-Benz C-Class
3. Volcanoes of the Deep Sea
4. Infernal Caverns
5. Research Institute for Development, Communication, and School Partnership
6. Miss Spectacular
7. Relentless Records
8. Romanel
9. 77th Armor Regiment (United States)
10. A Band Called Pain
11. Chevrolet Aerovette
12. The Reluctant Traveller
So what happens when an indie band goes way, way too far? This looks almost like a concept album of sorts - with a clear link from 3 to 4, 11 being a sort of 'sequel' to 2, and 12 summing everything up...but then you have track 5, which combines with the album title to show that Macedo has absolutely no respect for the limited amount of time DJs have to announce song names - for that reason alone, it's probably the hit single.
-------------------
So on the one hand, this seems ridiculous. On the other, it's actually kinda fun. Try it yourself! Or not.
Yadda yadda flawlessly.
