Birth Information



When Rush finished their third album, Caress of Steel,
the trio was assured that they had created their
breakthrough masterpiece. But when the album dropped
off the charts soon after its release, it proved
otherwise. While it was Rush's first release that
fully explored their prog rock side, it did not
contain the catchy and more traditional elements of
their future popular work — it's quite often too
indulgent and pretentious for a mainstream rock
audience to latch onto. And while Rush would
eventually excel in composing lengthy songs, the
album's two extended tracks — the 12-and-a-half-minute
"The Necromancer" and the nearly 20-minute "The
Fountain of Lamneth" — show that the band was still a
ways off from mastering the format. The first side
contains two strong and more succinct tracks, the
raging opener, "Bastille Day," and the more laid-back
"Lakeside Park," both of which would become standards
for their live show in the '70s. But the ill-advised
"I Think I'm Going Bald" (which lyrically deals with
growing old) borders on the ridiculous, which confirms
that Caress of Steel is one of Rush's more unfocused
albums.
