it's too literal. i find it insulting, dated, and ugly.

i'd argue that the band name and title shouldn't be there at all. making it bigger or more legible in any way is just going to add to the madness.

WAY to busy.
some nice work in there...somewhere......but it's over done...too much stuff going on...not enough time spent on composition, and too much time spent on effects, bevels and textures....
go back, redo from start....

Oh, so all he did was take their single, add some lame shit, photoshop filters, and make the type harder to read. I'm guessing those symbols are from the zodiac or something, and in that case by replacing them he also lost the meaning of the whole piece too.
Most of those old Rush covers posted are rather simple forms with meaningful ideas behind them. This cover is a complex form with nothing but a literal interpretation, and its not even really up-to-date style wise.
Basically, I don't always agree with this statement, but "Simplify to amplify" would really help in this case. And a 3 day long brainstorming session with some sleep deprivation and/or psychedelics so the ideas really get out there...

Looks like he went crazy with the PS filters.

yeah... too much drop shadow, too much bevel & emboss, too much texturize. basic layout is nice, but it needs more thought and less buttonclicking.

readability issue

it looks like the cover of a photoshop tutorial CD compiled by a non-designer who knows layers and effects in Photoshops and little else...
- oh shit! didnt read the reposting bit up top! ouchckentish

Looks like something a designer for Linkin Park would shit out.

the wings behind rush title look too much like a mustache
- A kick ass wild west mustache, not good for this though.CygnusZero4
