Thank you for such a detailed response!
The more I think about it, yeah I could have played with dynamics a bit more. I think specifically in waxing fun waning sun as I personally like how frantic the best last day is.
The MAD RAT DEAD ost I was using as inspiration has music that always sounds incredibly full through entire songs with little to no quiet sections and I was trying to replicate that hence me avoiding really quiet parts. But specifically in parts of the second song it could have used more dynamics I think.
