If anyone notices an album cover in the database that is a bit fuzzy or generally not up to scratch, let me know and I'll see if I can find something better. Thanks in advance.  If you could post in this thread it would be great. No need to start a new thread everytime. If you could provide links or send better pics, it would make it easier.

http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=306 - Saga really could use a fixin'. Their huge discography is kind of an eyesore on this site, which is a shame, because their artwork is really awesome. |

I say it would be easier if we just went back to the 200/200 pixels resolution for album covers. Now we have thousands of covers originally added to the database as 200/200 pixels images and which are now enlarged at 300/300 pixels resolution, hence the blurry aspect. A couple of years ago I worked a lot to find 200/200 px cover images for more than two hundred albums which had very low quality cover images (even 100/100 px for example). Now the images I replaced are not suitable anymore. All that work in vain... quite frustrating, eh.  |

It's not really 'poor quality', but it is actually the wrong cover altogether: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=20942 It should be this instead:  As far as I know, standard-level Collabs like myself cannot change album covers ourselves, so I thought I would bring this to everybody's attention. I wasn't the one who initially added this, by the way. |

Pretty much the entirety of Dir En Grey's discog needs revamping except for the last two or so LP releases. Just thought I'd throw that out there, since nobody except me seems to care about this band anyway.

Couldn't do any better myself. Later on, I'll look into what aspects of their discog need to be added/re-worked. I'm able to do pretty much everything but change the artwork once already posted, so I should be able to fic those issues myself.

Some of Styx's albums could use some brushing up...specifically their compilations.
