You can do

thumbnailer-admin clear

That will wipe the cache completely, as if the thumbnailer had never run
before.

If the *same* albums always fail, it may well be because 7digital simply
does not have artwork for those albums. Or, possibly, because some of
the tags contain spelling errors.

At any rate, you can do the following to start with a clean slate:

$ cd ~phablet/.cache/upstart
$ rm dbus*
$ thumbnailer-admin clear

Then start using your music collection as you normally would. If you
keep an eye on dbus.log, it will tell you what happens for each
thumbnail request.

Title:
  Thumbnailer fails to fetch thumbnails from Internet

Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I used Sound Juicer and ripperX to extract MP3s from my CDs. I copied
  my album to the phone, and I expected to see all album art in the
  Music scope and in the Music app, for every album in the phone. But,
  in some case Thumbnailer failed fetching album art from Internet
  (7Digital, I guess), and so Music scope is full of empty folders (see
  attachment).

  Device: BQ Aquaris E4.5 with Ubuntu 15.04 - OTA9.1
