In my opinion,The first one I'd have the man's shoulder fade into the crowd vs it just cut off. Maybe put a little of that blur you did on the text around the guy. I like that is says "squint" and when one does, the "crowd control" is easier to read. In the 2ND one I think the buildings should be a little burnt up from the asteroid and the man should be just a little darker to blend with all the effects.

Hi!
I would suggest keeping with one or two font styles that you like in each album cover. I would also narrow down on the effects and keep it simple yet to the point. If those are the singers of the album art, then they should be the center of attention (not literally at the center, haha). With the first album cover, the hand reaches for the word 'squint' and draws out all the attention from the person to the left. Just like in the second picture, the meteor draws attention more than the singer.
Like books, it only takes a few seconds for a person to either 'like' it or 'hate' it. With too much effects, it would do the complete opposite of what you expect for your audience's attention.
