Similar points between TCR and old songs

Some of the new tracks remind me of older songs. I am interested in reading if people share my thoughts, or if I am a lonely crazy person:

Cosmos Rockin': Welcome To The Jungle / I'm Scared

Time To Shine: Machines (the melody, not the arrangements)

We Believe: We Are The World (similar melody during the very first verses) + resemblance to Chris Thompson's performance on the SAS Band's 1997 studio album (specially during "The Name Of The Game").

Warboys: The way it's sung makes me think in Smooth Criminal. A few bars of this song brings Rough Justice to my mind as well.

Call Me: Guitar solo reminds me of "Lazing On A Sunday Afternoon".

Voodoo: The Also Rans (only the rhyhtm during the first bars).

Some Things That Glitter: Apart from the "Butterfly" reference, some chord progressions make me think of "Why Don't We Try Again" and "I Guess We're Falling Out".

Through The Night: The way it starts reminds me the sound of Freddie's "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow" early demos, specially because of the piano.

Surf's Up... School's Out!: As said by many others, I find a lot of Headlong, Love Token and No More Fun here. A specific section also reminds me to both It's A Beautiful Day (Reprise) and Track 13, if you know what I mean. but also the final chord reminds me of the Back To The Light album overture ("See the fur to keep you warm, softly round your tiny form").

Am I seeing things or someone else shares at least one thing about all this? :-)

Time To Shine sounds like a Toto song.
can't remember which sounds like a Mike & Th eMEchanic song - could be We Believe.

I totally agree with you about the guitar solo in Call Me. It certainly reminds me of Lazing On A sunday Afternoon (in a good way). It's A Beautiful Day Reprise also springs to mind when I hear the piano/guitar intro to Surf's Up...School's Out.

t.shirts.i noticed that but couldnt place the tunes.somewhere i heard track13 mih.and las palabras.strange

to me:
Cosmos Rocking - CLTCL, MOTP, Im scared

aN C-LEBRITY sound like something that could be on the miracle

The Brian solo from Still Burnin remains me a guitar solo from an Aerosmith song, don't remember which one. (I think from the album Nine lives, Pink or Hole in my soul, I'm not sure).

The "Palabras de Amor"-sounding song is the last part of We Believe

Some of the drumming in "Still Burnin" sounds a bit like "We Will Rock You" ;) & that bonus track from iTunes, sounds a bit like that old Del Shannon song, oh, I forget what they call it!!! LOL!

For some reason, bits it We Believe remind me of the chords in 'You're the voice' by John Farnham

If there's a song that sounds like an old song than it's Cosmos Rocking being similar to Now I'm Here

Oh and the whole feeling of Through the Night makes me think of Wilderness!
