Yet one more update. Here's a list of all the sound issues I spotted (from the Super Metroid section - the Metroid 1 section is just horrendous in and of itself, hence why I give the album a low rating):
Opening [shorter loop, but ok given context]
Theme of Super Metroid [missing second half]
Planet Zebes - Arrival on Crateria [fades out early]
Crateria ~ The Space Pirates Appear [fades out early]
Brinstar - Overgrown with Vegetation Area [short intro, cuts out at loop point]
Brinstar - Red Soil Swampy Area [short intro, missing second half]
Wrecked Ship [Missing end of loop]
Maridia ~ Rocky Underwater Area [missing end of loop]
Norfair - Ancient Ruins Area [missing end of loop]
Mini Boss Confrontation BGM (Spore Spawn, Botwoon) [sudden end]
Big Boss Confrontation BGM (Kraid, Crocomire, Phantoon) [4 loops; sudden end]
Big Boss Confrontation BGM (Ridley, Chozo Statue) [3 loops, sudden end]
Tourian [Missing End of Loop]
VS Mother Brain [missing end of loop]
Ending [Missing final victory fanfare]
Soundtrack is also missing Deserted Ceres Space Colony, Tension before a Confrontation, and Chozo Statue Awakens, as mentioned above, along with all the cinematic cutscenes. You can kind of tell why some of this was removed, but it's really odd considering how long many of the boss themes play - there was clearly room for all the audio.
