Album art
The CD itself was made to look like a , and the inside cover art was meant to parody of the 1960s. The initial track, "Read Along", also parodied the style of such vintage albums.
Controversy
In 2008, Joss Whedon released a short musical film online entitled Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Fans of Steel, and Steel himself, noted the similarities between Dr. Steel and Dr. Horrible:
*both featured singing mad scientists who produced web videos;
*both had an "Ask Dr. ___" segment;
*the name of the production was similar to the title of Steel's album, Dr. Steel Read-A-Long.

This attracted the attention of national media and was reported in Coilhouse and also Wired magazine, in which Dr. Horrible co-writer Maurissa Tancharoen responded, "All we have to say on the subject is we've never heard of Dr. Steel before." "There’s room for everyone in this party," she added.
