Despite it unpopular release, it remains ones of hard/prog rocks (or as I dubb it, liquidprogressive) best examples of how the craft is/was done.

Caress of Steel, Rush's 3rd release album, presented stellar album art along with a heavy sounding title that so well described the cadence of the tracks.

Released in 1975, the album was given gold status in 1993 by the RIAA.
Despite its dissapointing outcome, it is now recognized as an epic collection of music for all classic rock era fans.

"Epic" tracks like "The Necromancer" and the "Fountain of Lamenth", totaled over 26mins of liquidprog goodness and gave a display of the Canadian Trio's incredible musical ablilites.

The widely accepted and successful postlude to the Caress of Steel album , 2112, featured much of the same 70's dark space feel of its unpopular prelude Caress of Steel. 2112 featured a mind-blowingly long 21minute track giving testament to Rush's epic compostion ablities between the two albums.

Without any furthers, a great cut from this album.
