I love the intro to this. Its dark, ambient buildup with some glitch and sharp keyboard stings.
Sinister sets a mood thats, well, sinister, maybe more than any other song in the ranking. The melody is light but haunting as played back on the keyboard. The whole time the song feels like its ready to open up like a thunderstorm even with the melody it feels like its holding back, operating with restraint. Then 3:15 happens and it goes heavy glitch, finally fulfilling its promise, albeit briefly. The last few seconds are also delightfully creepy, with some kind of Metroid noise in the fadeout.

Really solid glitchy breakbeat with lots of musical ideas and compelling weird time signature. Im reminded of some of the darker Kirby songs throughout, like eldritch horror boss fights. Theres chiptune, theres screaming, theres all kinds of things blended together. There are quieter moments and moments of manic frenzy. In my notes I wrote this feels like a song that plays when you die. I dont...really know what I meant by that, but it feels very appropriate.
