- I love "Disturbance", it's so funky! I enjoy the choice of the boss theme that isn't moving at a hundred miles a minute, but still feels impactful and imposing anyway. And the world always needs more 5/4!
- "Standoff" is doing fun stuff with some of the material from "Disturbance" (if I'm hearing correctly?) - but it feels maybe a touch too similar to "Disturbance" to feel quite as *final* as I might hope.
- I so enjoyed the quiet pulsing base intro to "Tension" - the whole thing is great, just wanted to shout that out particularly. Also the occasional cutting out of most instruments - love good use of silence! This actually fits my picture of "final boss" a little better, though I think it also works great for your stated purpose of alternate boss.
- Ooooooh and then some 7/4 for "Judgement"! Also a time signature the world could always do with more of! I love the instrumental choices in this, especially the dirty guitar-y bass and the high organ-y instrument. Definitely my favourite track of the bunch!
Overall I really enjoyed this album, and think it fits cohesively together very well :)
