''Caress of Steel'' is the third album by the Canadian ProgressiveRock band Music/{{Rush|Band}}, released in September 1975. It marked the band diving headfirst into their ProgressiveRock style after dabbling in it on their previous album, ''Music/FlyByNight''; the final two songs last for nearly twelve and a half and nearly twenty minutes, respectively, with the last song taking up the entire second side of the album. Drummer and lyricist Neil Peart also delved further into the HeavyMithril that became a hallmark of this era of the band's material.

Drummer and lyricist Neil Peart also delved further into the HeavyMithril that became a hallmark of this era of the band's material.
At the time, it received a somewhat muted reception, selling poorly compared to their first two albums (it took until the mid-'90s for it to make gold record status, uniquely among their albums from the time) and getting mixed critical reviews. (Also, perhaps tellingly, it was the band's final album to receive a page on this wiki.) However, it has been subject to somewhat of a reappraisal in recent years, as it's becoming commonplace for fans (and sometimes critics) to call it one of Rush's most underrated albums (which raises the familiar question of how often an album can be called underrated before it no longer qualifies as underrated).
