Loooooooooooooollllllllllllll every time I hear Sumeria now I'll be imagining a choir full of Annie Lennox xD

Ever since I first heard Sumeria, that's what I heard, and I'd think to myself "he didn't do that intentionally...or did he?!"

"he didn't do that intentionally...or did he?!"

Dev: "It was definitely not conscious. I think that I tend to be a product of my influences and there's been several occasions consciously where I've referenced other music specifically but the Eurythmics thing I didn't even realize that until other people pointed that out after."

These aren't really references, more like observations I have made. Sorry if these have been posted before...

The "find a way!" part that is in Aftermath and Force Fed sounds quite similar to the "And they can push me harder!" part in Bastard.

As well as Stand and Man, the A Monday/ PotA/ As You Were melody can be heard in Watch You. Sorta. Probably not, but it sounds like that to me.

"All is calm, all is well!" from Critic is in Pandemic. I think most of you have gathered that one though.

Yeah, that's it for now.

In Sunmud/Woman : "I present to you, man!"

In TMM: "We bring to you: the process of human development!"

I dunno I just felt like they were connected especially the 'self proclaimed representative' part of the rant in Sunmud/Woman. The line came to me and I thought it was similar.

Could Sumeria be referencing Force Fed?
It could of course be just a coincidence, but I can't help finding the "cause we are animals... ANIMALS!" part in Sumeria quite similar to that of "Animal, you're an animal, you're a goddamn fucking animal" in Force Fed"...

DOn't know if it's been mentioned, but the 'LOVE, LOVE ME' part in Sumeria reminds me of 'PEACE LOVE, JOY' part in Earth Day.

Probably not a direct reference, but that's what I thought of first time. I dunno, maybe we're deconstructing it too much.

Gulp

One that I posted years ago, the melody at around 5min in Funeral comes from the chorus of "I Am" (Ass sordid II).

Nice work with that chart by the way

I would say that Depth Charge is more on the mark: "Animal, I'm an animal"

I was thinking how cool it would be to have all these links in a db with some kind of mapping software that would allow you to show different types of link (lyrical themes, same melody, direct repeat of a section, etc) and then view each one in detail to see the explanation behind it.

Im sure there is a link with guitar parts in TMM and the arpeggios that are played through out the Ziltoid album during the skits, but I may be wrong! Nice work on the chart btw, thats a fine piece of work!

The guitar line of the Juular verses in repeated in Floor's parts of Pandemic and in 1:38 of Sumeria.

The bit of the solo in Away around the 5:38 mark is quite reminiscent of the riff in the 2nd half of By Your Command. I noticed it yesterday while stuck in traffic. I'd sooner call it a recurring lick rather than a self-reference, but if you need more lines then there you go.

A friend pointed this out:

Needs an addition for the Dextox -> IR8 riff.
