Forum Game: Guess the album cover

[IDontNotDoThings]

N is for "no u"

[Elite]

ah yes, a hit! Let’s see what I ca do. Cocerig all remaiig fragmets:

oe letter is missig!

aother (better) hit tomorrow morig, after a good ight of sleep

i can tell someone has had a bit much to drink 

actually, no. It was a meticulously typed hint, in which one letter, the 'N', was omitted, 'missing', as both wolfking and IDontNotDoThings have been able to point out. How this hint would be applied to the albums left to guess was up to you, the participants. I have hidden a pattern in the album grid, which you might have found already, but I doubt it, since no new guesses have been made after this hi(n)t.

I'm sure all the albums left can be guessed one way or another. They're not ridiculously obscure or anything. Maybe this will help. As you can see, the N is definitely missing.

D5: Yoko Ono - Between My Head & The Sky 

[Elite]

Nope! Right letter though

[IDontNotDoThings]

Nope! Right letter though

I literally just googled "artists that start with y" & then pick the first one that looked slightly similar. 

I mean, it doesn't look like a Yes album, which would've been my first guess.

[Elite]

Well, that's one way of looking for it. Of the five left, I think the ones in column two are the most difficult to guess.

K should be easy, if you know what you're looking for.

If it's absolutely necessary I'll provide more hints, but I would personally be able to guess all of these (also without the hints) so I'll leave it like this for now.

No shit!  It's your collage!!!! 

I did one of these alphabet themed ones once, pretty cool.     Personally, I think every collage should have a theme of some sort.

[Elite]

At first I wanted to do one with animals, but I couldn't really find enough covers. Still managed to sneak in some bunnies..

[Elite]

Guess this isn't working:

B2: G. American blues/rock/hiphop prodigy
E2: J. Solo album by ex-guitarist of a well-known American band
A3: K. If I tell you the genre, this one gets guessed right away. How many bands that start with K are there anyway?
D4: Y. Punk rock band that uses a violin
E4: Z. More punk rock. The album's title is an abbreviation.

[twosuitsluke]

D4: Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds

Damn, I really should've got that one 

[twosuitsluke]

E5: Zebrahead - MFZB

Damn, I really should've got that one 

[twosuitsluke]

B2: Gary Clark Jnr - Blak and Blu

Ok, I cheated on this one, I looked for artists beginning with G on your last.fm profile. Never heard of him but blues/rock/hip hop prodigy sounds interesting. Is this the best album to start with?

[IDontNotDoThings]

A3: K. If I tell you the genre, this one gets guessed right away. How many bands that start with K are there anyway?

first guess was Kamelot, but none of their covers seemed to match

[wolfking]

E2: John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt

[wolfking]

Though the K one might have been King Crimson Lizards but don't think so.

[Elite]

All guesses, apart from the K are correct.

What you see in the small snippet for K are 'intestines' of some sort.

D4: Yellowcard - Lights and Sounds

Damn, I really should've got that one 

E5: Zebrahead - MFZB

Damn, I really should've got that one 

Yeah, I thought you would get these

B2: Gary Clark Jnr - Blak and Blu

 cheater! it's a nice album indeed, try it out, you might like it!

E2: John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt

uh huh..........

[IDontNotDoThings]

  K is probably King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

[Elite]

no no no, way older, though the band is still active today

[wolfking]

I think I give up.

[wolfking]

KISS was my last resort and nothing.

[IDontNotDoThings]

A few ideas:

Kansas
King of Leon
Korn
Kraftwerk
The Killers
The Kinks
The Kooks
KC & The Sunshine Band
Kodak Black
Kid Ink
Kid Rock
311
Kermit The Frog

idk I'm running out of options here 

[IDontNotDoThings]

(also the one I have prepared is a joke one so someone might actually wanna prepare a real one  )

[wolfking]

I have looked through covers from;

KISS
King Diamond
Kamelot
Katatonia
Korpiklaani
Korn
Kaipa
Karnivool
Kings X
Kreator
Kalmah
King Crimson
Keel
Kix
Killing Joke

[Elite]

You must have missed something then..

I didn't think this would be so difficult. The 'intestines' on the cover are from an inanimate object that fills up almost the whole album cover. A physical version of whatever is portrayed on the album was also sold by the band on tour and served as some sort of 'mascot' for the band. The album was released in 1999.

[IDontNotDoThings]

Just reversed-image searched


I won't spoil it, but it was the only band we both said

[Train of Naught]

Korn - Issues?

[wolfking]

Korn - Issues?

yeah, that's it actually.  It's the wool from the teddy bear.

[wolfking]

Just reversed-image searched

What is this?  And you mean I could have been secretly cheating all along?

[Elite]

Yup

[wolfking]

I didn't think this would be so difficult.

Really?  I know the album and band well and still missed it.  That album had 4 different covers also don't forget when it was released.

[Elite]

Oh, I did not know that; this is the only cover I know of. I took the intestines part of the teddy bear, because I thought anything from the head would be too easy

Well, we got it in the end

[wolfking]

That is the main cover but I think there was a competition and they got fans to draw the cover and that came first.  The other three are shown in here and were released when the album came out but I think after a while or maybe the tour or whatever, just the main teddy bear cover was released.

This has probably always been my fav Korn album also, it's wonderful.
