Caress of Steel was the third album by Rush, released in 1975. The album includes Rush's first inclusion of a truly long (perhaps overlong) rock piece, "The Fountain Of Lamneth", which runs to nearly 20 minutes. While this epic is laudable for its ambition, the lesser-themed "The Necromancer" also weighs in at 12:34, features some of the best guitar solos on the album, and perhaps shows more focus than Lamneth. This album shows more of Rush's adherence to the standards of progressive rock. Long pieces, pieces broken up into parts, and solo passages of speed and agility are all included. This album also shows some of Rush's influence from Led Zeppelin, more obviously present in Rush's first album, in songs like "I Think I'm Going Bald".
