Alright, I've made some time for this review! Let's begin.
Lala: some of the greatest compositions I've heard from anybody! You have a way with the synth that almost goes unmatched. With your signature instrument, the Oboe, you have put together some heart-pounding great music.
Now lets get into that breakdown.
Composition: As I've said, you go for a style that fits well into the pokémon world, while still making it your own. With a good bass-line, percussion, and smooth sounding leads, you out together coherent and ear-pleasing themes. 8/10
Instrumentation: I've noticed more focus on the Drums and Bass (just like the genre) in your songs. The simple leads give off a good vibe. I've always said "A good set of drums can change and often improve any song." You've definitely proven that. 7/10
Sound Quality: Great EQ here as well. All of the instruments have been brought up (or down) in just the right way. Makes for easier listening. 7/10
Enjoyability: I could listen to these all day. You definitely done a lot to improve since I've first heard your work. 8/10
Total: 30/40
*To one of the most talented composers on the forum, this is well deserved. *
As for improvements, there isn't much. You've shown that you can work in more than one style, just keep on going! My standing Nominations are:
Larx - 1 TheGuitahHeroe - 1 AlmightyArceus - 2 Das - 1
Also: "Jackson"? lolwut

I'm surprised I wasn't the first reply here considering that I can be kind of a fanboy XD
Composition: Amazing! What I personally like about lala's compositions is that almost every instrument can be heard clearly if you pay even a little attention. The basses and background instruments are important as is but being able to hear them clearly makes them that much more important! How do you think I pulled off an aural transcription of Gayle & Mons? 10/10
Instrumentation: I can sum it up with just "oboe" but that's kind of unfair. He does amazing work with the bass and his skills with percussion are excellent. He added wind to one of his compositions as a background sound effect! Crafty! 10/10
Sound Quality: As said earlier, the instruments are often clearly heard, which is a good thing. His videos are often of a moderate volume level (sans Ametrine E4), so I can play his music while battling on Pokemon Online without issue. 9/10
Enjoyability: Well I can't say I didn't enjoy any of his compositions, but I won't give a 10 for that. Lala comes up with enjoyable and fitting melodies for certain compositions and situations while maintaining all of the aforementioned, which takes a solid amount of skill. Although he's made a few happy themes, and I'm more one for dark themes, even they are enjoyable to me. 9/10
So my total score is 38/40. This is more than likely the result of my being a sort of fanboy XD but even if I wasn't it'd be a 35 at least. Lala's compositions are clear, enjoyable, well written, and if anything to improve on it'd be more dark themes, but that's my personal preference so don't take that seriously XD. Really I'm hoping his volume issue is resolved soon.
I'll nominate Larx and Yannick for next week. TGH has enough votes as it is XD

Oh crap, I forgot to review; sorry larfy! D: So my best friend ever. You have great skill, and I'm sure you can get even better, especially with the *epic* oboe. :3 Composition: You have a style that is interesting and unique; your music has a style which would fit perfectly in a real game, yet you add your own flair to it, especially with your signature instrument, the oboe. 8/10. Instrumentation: Your signature instruments, the amen break (well, you like it anyway), and the oboe; you use them in a way in which I can never get sick of! However, I will admit; as much as you like abusing that oboe, I personally think there's a thing as "too much;" there are certainly places now and here where an oboe won't fit. Remember; when I compose, if something never fits but you want it there: use it as a side instrument, like the ketchup on a hot dog (I don't know if you prefer mustard or ketchup xP). Just experiment! Also, your percussion. As Yannick mentioned, you seem to go for a drum n' bass style; and it's a good thing; it creates a solid base for the entire song, and makes it a lot better. With a fluid bass, good drums, and decent balance of instruments, this is 8/10. Sound Quality: Your EQ is great, personally, enough said. Makes for a fluid listening; 7/10. Enjoyability: 8/10; I'm actually surprised I don't have any of your own (not including collaborations) songs on my cellphone; blame my lack of memory space. Your songs are very enjoyable, and your style is very interesting. Great job on this one. Final Score: 31/40; good job. tl;dr: Unique and interesting style you create with your songs. Oboe usage could use some balancing, but I'm not one to say that; I overuse EVERYTHING... ----------------------------- NOM THE COOKI- i mean... um yeah. Noms. ------------------ Me - +2 (/troll) Larxy - +1 AlmightyArceus - +1 Dassy - +1 (Name abbreviated to Dassy because my spellcheck really hates your name xP)
