Album Notes & Community Reviews
Often viewed as a misunderstood stepping stone between their heavy metal origins and their ultimate progressive breakthrough, Rush's third album is unapologetically ambitious. 'Caress of Steel' relies heavily on sprawling, side-long fantasy epics like 'The Fountain of Lamneth', delivering intensely passionate, remarkably complex hard rock with fierce, highly technical energy.
