CARESS OF STEEL

A very underrated album, even within the Rush fanbase. Cleary, 'The Fountain Of Lamneth' is the highlight of this album; a real work of art. One of their best, and most daring songs. The remainder of Caress Of Steel is a bit uneven, but still quite good...'Bastille Day' and 'Lakeside Park' are winners; however, 'I Think I'm Going Bald' doesn't quite match up. Parts of The Necromancer are great (Under the Shadow esp.), but Return of the Prince is a big letdown compared with the previous sections. All in all, a 4 star album. Buy it for The Fountain Of Lamneth, Bastille Day, and Lakeside Park. That's 28 minutes of top notch material right there! Cool cover art too :)
