* LighterAndSofter: ''Killing Technology'' to ''Rrröööaaarrr'' (very mildly) and more noticeably ''Dimension Hatröss'' to ''KT'', at least in terms of the heaviness of the music. ''Angel Rat'' was a brief venture into this as well.

** ''Target Earth'' was just about an Old Sound Album, being the closest they've been to their late-eighties sound in over twenty years, and it was also the first album not to have any of Piggy's guitar playing. ''Post Society'' and ''The Wake'' largely stick to refining this sound.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''War and Pain'' and ''Rrröööaaarrr'' had a sound a lot closer to punk than any type of progressive music the band would play later; as mentioned above, it owed a heavy debt to Venom as opposed to Rush or Pink Floyd. They also have much more raw production (especially on ''War and Pain'') and heavier overall music. ''Killing Technology'' is mostly where they found their sound, but still has elements of this due to placement on the Mohs Scale closer to the first two than its follow-up and Snake's voice being closer to a shout than clean singing.

E-Force left in 2001. The next lineup featured the return of Snake on vocals and [[Music/JasonNewsted Jason "Jasonic" Newsted]] on bass (who had just recently departed from Music/{{Metallica}}, he was a fan of Voivod beforehand). A SelfTitledAlbum soon followed, still sporting an alternative sound but this time with very noticeable Music/{{Motorhead}} influence. ''Katorz'' and ''Infini'' continued this sound. Those two albums were handled oddly due to Piggy [[AuthorExistenceFailure succumbing to cancer]] in 2005; he had left behind guitar tracks on his laptop for the rest of the band to work with. The band also stopped touring for a while due to then being unable to find a replacement for Piggy.

** Nevertheless, that doesn't stop them from covering "[[Music/PinkFloyd The Nile Song]]" of all songs for ''The Outer Limits''. Among other things, they've also covered Venom and Slayer (both on the special edition of ''War And Pain''), Mercyful Fate, King Crimson and Hawkwind. They even covered the ''[[Series/{{Batman}} Batman]]'' theme as a bonus track for ''Dimension Hatröss''.
