Talk:Caress of Steel

Lets avoid oppinions!

Despite the fact that not all Rush fans are also Dream Theater fans (myself, for instance), I don't see the encyclopedic relevance of the opinion from the guys of Dream Theater about Bastille Day. Specially because the qoute isn't even properly verified according to the standards of Wikipedia. --MarceloNunesRG (talk) 22:22, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

In popular culture

The album is the subject of a quick joke in an episode of Chuck (TV series). Varlaam (talk) 17:25, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Didacts and Narpets: didacts = addicts?

I want to question the assertion that "didacts" in the context of the song title is intended to be an anagram of "addicts". Right above this, we have a quote from Neil Peart saying that didacts just means teachers, the normal sense of the word. That being so, it's wrong to claim he meant it as an anagram of "addicts" without offering evidence to support that interpretation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe kearns (talk • contribs) 10:44, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Track Listing

The original vinyl (which I own) is different than this one. This is the original vinyl track listing:

Side 1

Bastille Day

I Think I'm Going Bald

Lakeside Park

The Necromancer

Side 2

In The Valley

Didacts And Narpets

No One At The Bridge

Panacea

Bacchus Plateau

The Fountain

The whole second side was combined into one track on the CD version. I don't think we should change the track listing, but I think it needs to be noted.

Genre Voting Suggestion

I'm tired of this sickness of people staying altered genres at all times. So I suggest that other Wikipedia users vote for the genre(s) they think match this album.

Instructions

• Vote +1 if you agree
• Vote -1 if you don't agree
• Please don't put negatives votes mixed with positives votes
• All who voted must sign next to it otherwise the vote will not be valid

Ex:

Genre

+1--Fran1996 (talk) 00:58, 29 May 2018 (UTC),

-1--Fran1996 (talk) 00:58, 29 May 2018 (UTC), -

So, we can vote +1 for more than one category? (Voting now, but I'll change it if I can only pick one.) Also, to be clear, this is strictly for Caress of Steel, correct? I, like others, feel that Rush has morphed more than once in their genre over their long career, if they even have a genre. FiggazWithAttitude (talk) 20:35, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
