I largely agree with your comments, but
Creep stood out to me as one of the lazier remakes here. You can even hear the male choral samples cutting out cold.
I would say there's actually a lot of beautiful music on this set that's let down by a lack of cohesion between the different arrangers' mixing styles. The tonal balance from track to track is all over the place, and some pieces just sound downright cheap and weedy. It could be argued that it's the mastering engineer's job to bring some unity to such a wide range of material, produced by many different people (each likely in isolation with different gear), but by the sounds of things there was only so much he could do here with what he was given.
The original soundtrack - its own mastering failings aside - was just as diverse, but consistent.
