Yes. All algorithmic music I've heard (with few exceptions) feels aimless and meandering because their is no intention. It's not trying to say anything. It lacks purpose and a sense of how it fits into the greater composition. It's more like it's stringing together melodies that, while passable, don't have a feeling or target to aim for short of "stay in scale".

Melodies that I hear from programs rarely have coherency from one measure to the next, and definitely not from one section to the next. Let alone coherency with it's supporting or complimentary elements.
