Elements of Persuasion is Dream Theater lead singer James LaBrie's third solo album, his first two being Keep It To Yourself and MullMuzzler 2, which were released under his band MullMuzzler. Elements of Persuasion was released on March 29, 2005. The album has since become a big hit among progressive metal fans.

Unlike his previous solo works, this one is released under his name - as suggested by his publisher. He also hired some new musicians, among others the new guitar virtuoso Marco Sfogli from Italy and Richard Chycki as sound engineer. All in all, the album is very much different from his previous solo works. He combines heavy metal with a sort of Dream Theater style to this mastered album.

Leading up to the release of Dream Theater's album Octavarium, Elements of Persuasion was labeled as a pre-release leak of Octavarium; some radio stations even played some songs off of this album claiming them to be tracks off of Octavarium. Also, the song "Undecided" is often confused with "Panic Attack", "Pretender" is often confused with "Never Enough", "Alone" is often confused with "The Answer Lies Within", "Drained" is often confused with "Octavarium (song)", "Invisible" is often confused with "I Walk Beside You", and "Crucify" is often confused with "The Root of all Evil".
