Yea, the only difference is that Cradle's sounds like giberish until you play it backward, and they will have done it done it on purpose because well...they're gay.
But Steedus is right. Although I'm sure just as many bands have done cliched bullshit like this as have been accused of it when it's just a coincidence.
Any band can fall victim to this sort of thing, in terms of cliched heavy metal bullshit, not to insult Opeth but the original full playing time for morning rise is - 66.06, coincidence?
Go figure.
