AlterniaBound works really well as a collaborative soundtrack for a imaginary* video game. It has some absolute classic tunes, for example: Crustacian reprise in the form of Karkat's Theme, the amazing Ace Attorney themed tune BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T1ON!!, the new theme tunes for Terezi, Vriska, Kanaya, Eridan and Nepeta, Nautical Nightmare, Blackest Heart (With Honks), Midnight Calliope and of course the magnificent climax of the soundtrack: Rex Duodecim Angelus.

I'm a huge fan of Toby's work here, every troll has somewhat memorable and amazing themes tunes (except Gamzee) and tracks like Showdown, Phaze and Blood, psych0ruins, The La2t Frontiier and Keepers are really good! Although my favorite track is absolutely Skaian Summoning. There are some issues I spot with mixing, mainly it kinda sounds like there's a high pass filter on everything, or something else messing with the frequency range.
I'm a huge fan of the darker tunes on this album, especially the first half, though I think it would've been even better if the entire album had a darker atmosphere. This time The Sound Team brings us amazing tracks such as Black Rose / Green Sun, At The Price of Oblivion, Even in Death and Savior of the Dreaming Dead. Amazing stuff! Also the cover is probably my favorite from any official Homestuck album.
Very strong first half, with Courser, Umbral Ultimatum, MeGaLoVania and Gaia Queen. Kinda loses the momentum on the second half, but still has many amazing tracks like Blackest Heart and 3 in the Morning (Pianokind). The hits are not as good as on Vol. 1-4 and Vol. 5 but the consistency is amazing.
