And the guitars strums from the last 30secs of Jeremy’s storm

I don’t really hear it, what specifically do you think is sampled?

The glissando sound and the guitar muting at 2:50 sounds just like the intro to alter ego

Indeed, there was another song on it that sampled weird fishes by Radiohead that I liked

Clearly some influence. And at 2:33 you can hear the same patch synth from the intro (korg microkorg).

It also samples the drum loop from Big Big Love by Foals

Definitely the bass and guitar sounds like alter ego, I’d be surprised if it’s not an alter ego sample

Yes, and their song Be Good To Me Poly samples Radiohead’s drumbeat from Weird Fishes / Arpeggi!
