Maybe it's not the album choice but rather the size/area of the crops, it's hard to make anything out of some of those. D3 looks really familiar.

I think this could be the culprit.

When I did my last one, I tried to use 600x600 album covers, then take a 100x100 snip. I think if one does a 100x100 clip from a 500x500 file (and thus the 'collage' is the size of an actual album cover) it can get a little too easy - although, apparently my last one was pretty damned easy.

Mine were clips of various sizes from images of various sizes but all were at least 160x160 (or scaled down to that size)

Well done guys, we're getting there, just very slowly. Want any hints yet?

I'll make sure my next one gives away more of the album cover (and I'll try to edit this one later).

All correct guys

Podaar · « **Reply #3694 on:** February 15, 2018, 07:49:55 AM »

It's interesting how close some of these are to looking like snippets from Album covers they have nothing to do with. C5 looks like it belongs on UFO Force It, and E1 looks like the bottom right corner of Pink Floyd Meddle.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #3695 on:** February 15, 2018, 08:45:45 AM »

Most of those hints will do nothing for me... not my tastes.

But E1 should be something I'd potentially be aware of. Must be a somewhat obscure band, because (after a little research), nothing obvious is jumping out at me. Maybe wolfking/Bolsters/bl5150 will know.

Lowdz · « **Reply #3696 on:** February 15, 2018, 10:25:39 AM »

D1 Mercyful Fate - Melissa. Yay. Got one!

TheCountOfNYC · « **Reply #3697 on:** February 15, 2018, 11:06:06 AM »

E3 is Streetlight Manifesto- Somewhere in the Between

Thought it might have been Voyager, then thought it might have been Northlane, than Dead Letter Circus, I think I'm stumped on that one.

It's not Northlane is it Mesmer?

C2 - Orange Goblin - Frequencies from Planet Ten

twosuitsluke · « **Reply #3702 on:** February 15, 2018, 04:15:00 PM »

So here are the remaining album covers with a slightly bigger cropped image, hopefully this helps

Also, I realised I made an error, E1, which I said was a 2017 release, was actually a 2015 release. My bad

As I've updated this new one, they are now out of sync. So the original A1 is now A3, A2 is A4, A4 is A1, B1 is A2, C4 is B3, E1 is B2 and E4 is B1. Sorry for the confusion
