Eyes Get Used To The Darkness = No Rest 2.0 ?

[cthulhu]

This question or feeling is stuck in my head for so long, so how do you feel about this theory..

It has mostly to do with the drums kicking in in EGUTTD, it reminded me of the No Rest Rhythm, but the feeling was more present live...like when Justin is shredding and then he shifts the tone and then No Rest starts...i kind of fell for it more than one time thinking No Rest will come but then EGUTTD began...

You know what i mean? Or am i totally off track...
I also think that thematically it could be a hint from EGUTTD to No Rest..somehow...

And "Die trying" on the same album sounds at the beginning like "Higher wall" part 2!  I imagine it can't always be easy to avoid repeating yourself when you've been writing music for so many years and albums. On UNBROKEN there are also bass lines that remind me of Nelson's work on the album TODAY IS A GOOD DAY.

I would agree..and i think these isn't about having a hard time not to repeat yourself with such a catalogue of songs but i think are both are total deliberate descisions. To present the story in that way.
With Higher Wall and Die Trying it really feels like a part two or an ongoing telling of the same story or topic, with a very similar music structure. And with EGUTTD and No Rest i feel the connection lies in the theme of guilt and conscience in both songs, but the similarities are more subtle.  It's kind of a hint to the past musically, like a hidden hommage or quoting your own work.
