Definitely, this is a case where I think you could keep the all caps parts of the title. It's a slippery slope sometimes, but generally if a title is only partially in all caps I can see good reason to keep those parts
intact, as it were.

Yeah, I'm not that insane, just a little bit, heh. If an album title, like DEWPRISM Original Soundtrack, is actually mixed case like that, I like to stay true to all the capitalization. However, if it's something like GOLDEN AXE THE MUSIC for example, where the title is ALL CAPS everywhere on the actual soundtrack, I'll leave it mixed case for VGMdb, GMR, etc. (Golden Axe The Music).

I basically agree with you here too. It's just that game titles tend to always be in all caps (FF, DQ, etc.) and that tends to follow on to the soundtrack release by default. Another Square example of this is PE, the logo is all lower case, and so is the titles on the spines of the album releases.
But yeah, as SS said, the multiple title system, with a designated
display title, was brought in partly as a result of the disagreements on this issue we had in the past. (I was in your corner at that time, by the way =p)
