In this episode, Robert John Hadfield takes viewers on a journey into the lesser-known history of Rush, focusing on their third studio album, Caress of Steel. He shares rare newspaper reviews and articles from 1975, including a surprising connection to Rod Serling of The Twilight Zone.

Robert explores how the album nearly marked the end of Rush's career, with its experimental nature and mixed reception. He humorously critiques the album’s cover, calling it one of the worst he’s ever seen, and discusses how album art mattered back in the day. The video also covers Rush’s struggle on their "Down the Tubes Tour," the band's challenges with record labels, and how they ultimately triumphed with 2112.
