Guess the album by its cover! - Season 3 is over :( Thanks!

[Chun]

No, there will be no midweeks today because there are only 7 participants. I'll do it on Thursday if I get 10 until Thursday evening.

[Timmy94]

7 ? Chun it seems like people lost interest in the game, you need to put something new to the game to make it interested for (new) people again .

[Chun]

Yes and I don't know what I can do about it. Plus there are too few albums on the market. We got already 169 different albums in this game. If I won't get 10 voters until Sunday I'll stop here because this game means lots of work for me (1-2 hours) every week, although it is fun to do and I discovered some new artists. Maybe someone else is willing to take it and has some new ideas.

[diamondtooth]

I do really love this game but I have found the last few rounds so difficult. Most of the albums I know, everyone else knows, and I get very few points.

[Chun]

Ok we have 9 players now.

One cover is very difficult. It is a live album. Here is an easier version.

I do really love this game but I have found the last few rounds so difficult. Most of the albums I know, everyone else knows, and I get very few points.

I know it is hard and when I continue I will try to work something out to make it easier.

[Rutter]

I think you should take a break (couple of months) and then come back with new covers/artists, I would'nt like seeing anyone else host the game ( )

[Chun]

Aww, that's sweet.

[ThomyX]

Hmm I love how I always decide on joining the game again but end up doing nothing lol.
I tend to forget about this game during the week, even though I really like it!

[Chun]

Just do it! I used to send reminders but I don't do it anymore.

[Chun]

Round closed. Sorry I'm a bit late this evening because I had a visitor.

ROUND 17 - Results

Covers not guessed by everyone are worth points: e.g., 13 out of 16 (83 %) guessed #04 right; that means you get 100-83=17 points for that. To avoid draw positions in the ranking, I gave +1 point per weekday left until deadline.

Again, 13 players sent their guesses. This was a very hard round. I did not expect that. I expected the soundtrack and live albums to be hard, though. Only Timmy94 got them and made 459 points in total although even he did not get all 10 covers. Thriller's almost back in the top 2, but adg's 49 points secure his #2 spot for this week. ThomyX is back, I'm very happy about that and he performed good, as did crazycrazy and innocenteyes, preventing Gagich to climb into the top 10 in the near future.

Please tell me if you see any mistakes.

[Chun]

I love how Katy Perry looks like a venomous spider

[Chun]

Ok guys & girls, I'll continue this game and try to make it wwwaaaaayy easier. I said I try.

[ThomyX]

^ Woo, I'm happy about that and I'll try to participate in the upcoming rounds (I'll also just try ).

LOL I can't believe I didn't know Maroon 5, I actually own that album, and the other one that bugs me is Florence's live album as I'm a huge fan of hers. I'm a flop stan.

[nickf1]

Katy Perry?? damn.

[Chun]

I'm a flop stan.

I love it when people say this sentence.

[Timmy94]

There's something weird with the Katy Perry covers : I didn't get the first one and the re-release one, and the 2nd one just with a loooot of thinking!

Glad that I'm No. 1 overall and I have a personal rule from now on: Just 30 minutes for finding the covers and if I haven't got them at all, than that's just how it is .

[Chun]

^ Everyone has a blind spot. And I had to make Katy extra hard.

[Chun]

ROUND 18

Round 18 is related to this week's UK top 100 album chart. Most commonly, the album covers to be found are from artists that are present in the newest top 100.

Your task: Try to identify the ten albums by their alienated cover art. If you think you know the answers, PM me with both the artists and the album titles. Please, don't ruin the game by sharing the answers with the others in this thread.

Google Images won't find them for you, I checked all covers.

#03 #04
#05 #06

#09 #10


If you think you know some or all of the answers, PM me with both the artists and the album titles. Deadline is Sunday, 6 p.m. The points for each recognized album cover show up after the deadline; they correspond with the percentage of posters who don't know the answer. To avoid ties, earlier posts get little more points, e.g., answers from Monday get +7 points, Tuesday +6 points etc.[/quote]

[CrazyCrazy]

Sent! I know 7.

[ThomyX]

I know 6 and 1 is very familiar, I might send my guesses shortly!

[CrazyCrazy]

I've cracked them all. Now who's snatching wigs!?

[Chun]

^ I can confirm that we have one participant who got them all.

[Timmy94]

This round I'll give others a chance and just stay at 9 ...
