Elements Pt. 2 is the tenth studio album by power metal band Stratovarius, released on 4 November 2003 through Nuclear Blast. The album reached No. 4 on the Finnish albums chart and its single, "I Walk to My Own Song", reached No. 9 on the Finnish singles chart.
"Know the Difference" track refers to Serenity Prayer in its refrain.
This album brings elements of doom metal as seen in the first song on the album, "Alpha & Omega," shown as a reaction to the first part in which Tolkki suffered a Bipolar II disorder and manic depression that made him mentally ill and caused him to compose confusing lyrics.
