After listening, we’re inclined to disagree. I mean, there’s a kick drum in the beginning of both songs, and the chorus is a bit similar, but the rest of the song, not so much. To us, the chorus and chord progressions of “Planetary” sound like a more chipper combination of the Nine Inch Nails songs “I Do Not Want This” and “Something I Can Never Have.” Check both songs out and let us know what you think.
