The overall concept for this album cover is effective. Squirrel Nut Zippers is a swing band. So, the club sign and lights are consistent with the genre and create an upbeat and appropriate mood.
The color scheme is subdued oranges, reds and blues. Contrast is accomplished through subtle changes in the strength of colors and a balancing burst of bright green and white. The variance in color stregth enhances the illusion of layering and depth.
Text is center aligned and hierarchal. This design is smart because it reuses design elements most people are accustomed to seeing in theater and club signs. Although there are competing elements, the viewer already knows how to read this album cover.
The line quality produces enough action that the viewer gets excited and doesn't lose interest. Visual interest is held through all aspects of design.
