Planet Smasher = "Stand" from Deconstruction?

I'm sure someone has noticed this, as I always feel "late to the party", so to speak. But for anyone who is able to check, am I the only one who noticed that from 2:52 to 3:28 in "Planet Crusher" sounds a lot like from 2:46 to 3:41 in "Stand" from Deconstruction.
I'm CERTAIN it was intentional, considering that half way into both of those excerpts I explained, there's the exact same riff in both songs. I'm just saying, pluralism is pretty cool. Reminds me of when I listen to Buckethead.
