Pretty cool, there isn't much to really complain about.

You could complain how simple it is.
Just one of those, 'I had time, so I drew something' things.

I like simplistic things so I wouldn't say it's a bad thing.

I think its has some good potential. but seeing as its an album cover I think certain Illustration priorities should be employed here.

Compositionally I think its a bit weak, or more accurately. Knowing its for an album cover and not just a sketch/doodle it becomes weak.
Right now you have a LOT of competing "thingies" lol:
-Its a split composition (albeit in thirds...) his
- You have 2 high contrast focal points, the swirl on the middle guys chest is competing with the guy on the lefts face (mainly his eyes)
-My eyes arent really sure on what theyre suppose to be directed to. On one hand you have those weby black lines leading you to the center guy, on the other hand the one on the right has the highest saturation. So, because of this, by COLOR I'm looking at the right, yet by LINE I'm looking at the center, and by CONTRAST I'm looking at the left.

I think if you were to pick 1 specific area of interest this could go from a good sketch/doodle to a p dern decent cover art. (assuming the rendering is there lol..) I like the colors, but personally I'm not a fan of the homestuckish-ness of it. (butthatsjustme)
