Is it me or does Echolyn's Mei really sounds like if U2, Gentle Giant and Jethro Tull made an epic?

Cos the answer could be in your mind
Maybe one cut and we’ll find
We’re just a wavelength behind

Not really, but I must admit I don't know U2 very much.

Like in Mei at some point, the main singer really sounds like U2's and the soundscape too. Just listen to it at 8:45 minutes you'll see what I mean if you know U2 a bit

you are asking the wrong question in your original post. 
Does Echolyn sound like U2?
No. 
Are Echolyn influenced by U2? I don't know, possibly. 

Dream Theater did a song in 2005 called I Walk Beside You and everyone said it sounds like a U2 song. I agree. Now does DT sound like U2 because of that? The answer is still no. LOL
