I think before playing Dread, I could rank the Metroid games in tiers, something like

tier 1: Super, Prime
tier 2: Fusion, Echoes
tier 3: Corruption, Samus Returns, Zero Mission
tier 4: the other ones

I was hoping, if not expecting, Dread to make it at least somewhere in between tiers 2 and 3 on that. After playing it, I'm not sure whether it falls between tier 1 and 2, or within tier 1 entirely. It blew me away.

I feel the same way. Dread exceeded my already high expectations. I wanted to give it a bit more time before I make any solid decision, but if I had to rank it now, it would definitely be in tier 1. Not sure about surpassing Prime and Super, as i'll need a bit more time to let it all digest. Your tier list isn't too different from mine, really. The only thing is, I would probably flip Fusion and Corruption's placements.
