The difference is so big that I have to say that there are two distinct parts in “Part 2: Regression”: one of a hard art rock (from tracks 1 to 3) and the industrial metal part (from track 3 on). I guess the song that represents Leatherback better is “Pull Up If I Pull Up” because it has a perfect balance of all influences that make Leatherback up. Even though its stronger electronic grip. The next track, “Breaking The Loop,” has the same loop. Ops…
On the other hand, listening to “Breaking The Loop” more carefully, I feel a slight approach to what was called jazz rock. If you change the keyboards for an electric piano, you will get a 1970 jazz rock track. Of course, I may be flat wrong, but impressions and opinions are things we are all entitled to.
Let’s wait for a third part.
