Could you be a little bit more specific? What topics would that be?
In what way would "Triumph" be a reference to "Relentless", "Skeksis", "Earth day", "Canada" or "Random Analysis" - musical references that have been pointed out by armheadmcgee, Falk and theoryman? (Well, in the case of "Random Analysis", it's pretty obvious, isn't it? After all, that what we're doing here, right? )
Or could you explain the connection between "Judgement" and "Planet rain", found by both Bloor and rgx612a?
Or could you at least explain why "Sunset" uses the same melody as "Truth" - a fact that was pointed out to us by danceswithchickens?
As far as I see it, there is a possibility that at least some musical and/or lyrical references have been intentionally placed there. But it's far from enough to just point out similarities. The connections must also make some sense.
