Following quickly on the heels of
Fly By Night, the band released 1975's
Caress of Steel, a five track hard rock album featuring two extended multi-chapter songs, "The Necromancer" and "The Fountain of Lamneth." Some critics said
Caress of Steel was unfocused and an audacious move for the band because of the placement of two protracted numbers back-to-back, as well as a heavier reliance on atmospherics and story-telling, a large deviation from
Fly by Night.

^ That's probably the WORST Rush song I can think of with the possible exception of "The Big Wheel" (but that one's only half this song's length).

^ If Rush sounded like *this* more often, maybe I wouldn't feel so ambivalent towards the band so often ...

Reputation
.^ He gave 'The Who' a 5 out of 5 who i have never been able to get into and gave my beloved Rush and Pink Floyd lower scores, who I think are much much more better than 'The Who'.
^ If you are prepared to listen to music over and over more than 100 times because there is simply so much about it that is wonderful, then what else can great music possibly do, other than this?

^ It's almost as if the band changed its mind in the middle of the recording sessions of what kind of band it wanted to be, and I can only imagine how confused the band's established fans were upon buying this.
^ This resulted in drastic changes in the band's sound; for the first since the 70's, the band put out an album that RAWKS (not "rocks," but "RAWKS").
.^ Sonically, Hold Your Fire is easily Rush's richest album.
^ But another example of good lyrics is the entire Hold Your Fire album.

^ It goes without saying that any Rush fan should have this, and even people who don't like Rush should have this in their collections.
^ A lot of the most ardent Rush fans are those who bite the band with criticism but then confess love at the same time, and I guess this is a necessary process which people undertake unconsciously to evaluate the work of a genuine artist.

.^ On the one hand, while I was iffy about it at first, I've come to really like the general sound of the album.
^ If Rush sounded like *this* more often, maybe I wouldn't feel so ambivalent towards the band so often ...
^ I get the feeling the band put a lot of effort into the small details of the song, and it does have a decent build as the piece goes on, but again; how many times can I use the word "decent" to describe this song before I just have to accept that it's not much more than that?
[98] .^ The best of these, of course, comes from the opening Anthem, which might be in my top five tracks from the band.
^ The album has a sunny, optimistic feel to many of its tracks, which is ironic since it was recorded in an atmosphere of often open hostility between all the band members.- Любителям и Любительницам Классик-Рок! [Archive] - Page 4 - RussianAmerica Forum 20 September 2009 13:18 UTC forum.russianamerica.com [Source type: General]
^ The band has taken its core sound and made it more accessible, but without coming within a hundred miles of "selling out" or anything like that.

.^ In any case, I never made any sort of claim that Peart's drumming even approaches a "weak link" in the band, far from it; he is certainly one of Rush's primary strengths.
^ I don't see why you hate manhattan project and finally the concert/rush favorite that has a drum solo called the rythym method.
.^ The drum solo with the screaming is kinda stupid, as is the way it ends in that loud "Listen!," but the section into which it leads, No One at the Bridge, is quite nice.
.^ One day > he chanced to see a mighty eagle, greater and more splendid than any mortal > bird, bearing a maiden to an island not far away.- The Rush Frequently Asked Questions on the Internet File 19 September 2009 1:28 UTC www.nimitz.net [Source type: General]
^ "Tom Sawyer" is okay, never one of my all-time favorites (you would thinks its complex structure would grab me a bit more!?
.^ If I like other bands more than Rush *and* have reasons for it, there's no reason to pretend otherwise.
^ If you are prepared to listen to music over and over more than 100 times because there is simply so much about it that is wonderful, then what else can great music possibly do, other than this?
^ I would rate their other albums much higher though: All the World's a Stage : In my opinion, one of their best live efforts.
Philanthropy
Rush actively participates in philanthropic causes.
.^ And Dream Theater is one of my favorite bands.
^ Despite the only moderate chart success this album provided to the band, many musicians consider this album to be one of hard rock's finest moments.- Любителям и Любительницам Классик-Рок!
