Guess the Year

5,000
points · five covers

Five album covers, shown in full. Name the exact year each was released. Dead on scores 1,000; every year off costs you — five years out is respectable, fifteen is a different era.

There is no trick and no fail state — just the sleeve. Typography, print process, photographic stock and logo treatment all date a cover, whether or not anything on it says so. Play daily and you will start reading them like a design historian. Everyone gets the same five, changing at midnight Eastern.

An album cover — what year is it from?

What year is this from?

Read the sleeve — the type, the print, the photograph. Exact year scores 1,000; every year off costs you.
