2000s Album Cover Quiz

57
2000s covers in the pool

By the 2000s the sleeve had shrunk to a thumbnail in a music library, and designers responded by making artwork that read at 100 pixels: hard colour blocks, single icons, faces cropped to the eyes. It made the decade's covers instantly recognisable — which is precisely why cropping them to one detail is a fair fight.

Ten rounds, four choices, no timer — and every choice is also a 2000s cover, so there is no giveaway option to eliminate. The pool holds 57 covers, which is enough that two games rarely look alike. Get one wrong and the full sleeve zooms back out with a link to the story behind it: who designed it, who shot it, and why it looks the way it does.
