113 - Cool.
114 - Utter crap, one of the worst songs in the game so far.

115 - One of my favorites in the game.
116 - It's just OK.
 
These are all pretty good. I liked the DJ Krush even a little bit better than the Porcupine Tree, as it did a better job of setting a mood, kept it simple, and didn't waver. PT, like a lot of prog bands, cobble together some interesting ideas into a whole that ultimately isn't that compelling and seemingly has no point.

I love David Gilmour more than most on this forum. And #116 has some excellent guitar work. This would have beaten either 113 or 114 easily. But it's matched up against Suicide and Redemption, which is one of my favorite instrumentals ever, and by far my favorite track on Death Magnetic. The guitar solo starting at 3:51 may be the best melody Metallica ever crafted.
 
113 has some really great parts and mood, though I could've done without the last minute of ambient noise.
114 is repetitive and annoying.

115 has a killer mid-section and solo, but I don't hold it as high as the other 'Tallica instrumentals. Nevertheless,
116 has great playing, but the ambient intro and general laid-back/jam vibe of the song does not appeal to me.
 
113 & 115. I thought DJ Krush was okay, although, unlike Porcupine Tree, it's not something I'd really listen to.
Second pair was a harder choice as I do like Floyd, but Metallica gets it.
