5 stars C'mon, guys! This is real masterpiece and probably one of my favourite Rush albums. I'm suprised that it is underestimated so much!

You got everything here: not much complicated, dynamic, hard rock songs ("I think I'm going bald" and "Bastille day") as well as long progresive suites ("The Fountain of Lamneth" and "The Necromancer").

Music on "Caress of Steel" is really outstanding, but do not forget about lyrics. Guys from Rush seem to be erudites, writing lyrics with references to literature and history: we have got here Tolkien's trilogy inspired "Necromancer" and historical "Bastille Day" (with begining quotation: "There's no bread, let them eat cake").

In summary, I would like very keenly encourage you to listen to this album. There was a time when it was the most frequently listened Rush album by me. Times changed, but it is still very important position on my CD case.
