Album review by A.J. Jackson:
The sophomore release Songs for Samus from Seed A.I. hits all the right spots. An inventive array of 8-bit videogame sounds mixed with live drum tracks, this album has instant appeal. The songs are complex in execution, yet simple in delivering the pleasure gained from reaching a new level, a hidden gem, or defeating a mini-boss. This album is the soundtrack for the brightly colored 2D side-scrolling life you’ve wanted ever since you were twelve. Songs for Samus asks us ‘What’s wrong with fun?’ while taking itself seriously, and that’s exactly what you want from a record of songs written for a deadly girl in a power suit.
