Yeah, I think the drums for Even Rats may have been inspired by KC Accidental, the 1st tune (2d track) from You Forgot it In People.

Also: there's a chant-like section of Paper Birds that's remarkably similar to the tune "Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl" from the same album. I think that must also have been inspired by BSS.

As others have pointed out, there's lots of overlap and cross-pollination in music -- always has been -- so no big deal, right?

right.

it's still fun to find these things.

re: paper birds chant - certainly was inspired by anthems, even brad has noted that on graffiti... but i like what he's doing with that section now, how he's kinda made it his own.
