Album Cover Art Critique, Again

Your last cover had a much younger version of yourself sitting at a piano with a guitar: Album Cover Art

This cover is far different from the last one. You mentioned a picture of floor tile that inspired this, but I’m not picking up on the significance. For example, what are the gold-colored shapes about? They just seem to be random elements.

The typography needs a lot of work. It’s sort of camouflaged into all those lines, which lessens its legibility and tends to make it blend into the background rather than standing out and contrasting with it. I don’t have a strong opinion on the white border (which isn’t really obvious in your image), but I’d likely be inclined to omit it and, instead, work all the typography into the image in a visually strong and aggressive way that unambiguously relegates the busy background to being the background.
