You both make very good points. Let's see if I can add:
The Eater of Dreams: Pinion (broken) + 999,999 (The Slip) intros
Copy of A: Always sounded like the beginning of Heresy (TDS)
Came Back Haunted: mish-mosh of The Hand That Feeds (with teeth), lyrics similar to Discipline (The Slip), the displaced TDS coda and lyrically like the end of Ruiner (TDS)
Find My Way: Music & Lyric structure similar to Somewhat Damaged and Even Deeper (the fragile), and even somewhat lyrically similar to I Do Not Want This (TDS)
All Time Low: I can see the Into The Void connection but Closer (TDS) is the obvious one considering they both happen to be the fifth track on their albums AND trent has whispered Closer lyrics into the live performances.
Disappointed: I can agree on the PHM stuff.
Everything: Agreed. Always reminded me of a lost (with teeth) track. Especially lyrically connected to the b-side 'Home' from (with teeth) era. Little bit of Getting Smaller (with teeth) and No, You Don't (the fragile)
Satellite: Agreed. Year zero much? Yes- but until the the guitars come in at the end sounding like the big come down and ripe (with decay) from (The Fragile side 2)
Various Methods Of Escape: Elements of the title tracks The Fragile and With Teeth structurally but I think you nailed it. This should have been renamed 'Hesitation Marks' as the title track to fit the other two afformentioned above. Good call.
Running: agreed on the gwtdt soundtrack.
I Would For You/In Two: The Slip bridge is totally there, I would for you to me sounds very much like a Fragile b-side while as someone once put it 'In Two' sounds like every nine inch nails song rolled into one"
While I'm still here: lyric structure similar to somewhat damaged and find my way and lyrics of all theat could have been linking to the fragile
Black Noise: classic nin with trent screaming until.......nothing.
