Album Cover Comparison

After creating my own mock up of a album cover I have decided to compare it to the original album cover. I will be eventually creating an album cover for my music video so by comparing my work to others will help me to make a good enough album cover that looks professional. On my album cover I have used the pixel dispersion effect on the image and the fire effect on the text.

Looking at the original album cover my own looks very different. Compared to mine I feel that the original one is better because it looks like a lot of time has gone into making it, mainly being the image. More thought has gone into the album cover as they haven't just used an image of the band like I have. Also at first look it does appear to be more simple yet looking closely it is actually two birds which shows that there is a lot of detail in the image. To conclude I think that there are many ways in which my album cover could be improved whether it is using another image or using better edits to better suit the overall look.
