With less than a year between releases , Stratovarius fans must think Christmas comes twice a year. Stratavarius on the other hand are in a hive of creative activity with this second part of a proposed double album, with a further nine tracks providing ample proof that they're at the top of their game.

Unlike ?Elements Pt. 1?, this second half is altogether different both musically and lyrically yet strays little from what fans have come to expect from the Finnish quintet.

There aren't any big hits like "Eagleheart" from part 1 but I like this album. Nice solos, intense riffs, nice keyboard arrangements and great vocals even though the chorus on "Know The Difference" is annoying. a 7.8 for me.
