While retaining some of the thrash metal roots of its predecessor, 3-D is notable for being the band's most diverse and technical album. It leans towards other genres such as progressive and funk metal,[1] and in particular, the instrumental "Prego" is played in a jazz fusion style, while its follow-up track "Another Nameless Face" draws a reggae influence.[2]
