CARESS OF STEEL

Yes, Caress Of Steel (COS) is not an album of typical Rush´s sound. Yes, this album is much more conceptual than others. However, I think that these opinions forget the essential: COS shows one of the most beatiful songs of Rush. "Necromancer", mainly its last part, is really great. But, "Fountain Of Lamneth" is superb! Interesting lyric, relative complex musical composition, excellent musician performance. Apparently, the members of the band do not like so much this beatiful song (they never performed this song at stage, I think). Despite its long duration (the entire B side of LP), "Fountain Of Lamneth", alone, justify the acquisition of COS, in my opinion.
