I dunno, I like the arp - it gave it a new texture to play against, and the friction of the arp against the guitar was really interesting. On the whole, holy hell this was a build - like you said, cathartic. No complaints here, I liked this track!

I don't dislike it, I just get stuck in that loop that it could, nay, should be better and it colours my opinion on it.
I do like the arp for sure, I just feel I could have done more for it than just fade it in. It feels like it needed a bit of an intro or a larger transition between section 1 and 2 to make it slide in there smoothly.

Oh dear god I get that. That's what drives my fussing over a track way after I should have put it down, too.

I didn't mention it before, but I like your expression of "catch and release" with regards to music. Sometimes we're better off letting one go, rather than investing in all the fish food necessary to grow it to legal size. And to further torture the metaphor, maybe it'll be bigger by next season.

I'll stop now.

I think  you're onto something with this. My only suggestion is to widen the sound field a bit - best done with panning. The vibrato synth thing helped in this fashion later on.
Nice work!
