Album Notes Genesis: Phil Collins (vocals, drums); Mike Rutherford (guitar, bass); Tony Banks (keyboards).Recorded at the Farm, Surrey, England between March & September 1991. On 1991's WE CAN'T DANCE, Genesis hit the ground running with its first studio record in five years. Long past the theatrical prog-rock of the Gabriel years, the trio of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford had made the transition to MTV icons whose material was skewering toward a definitive baby-boomer audience. Despite the five-year layoff, Genesis managed to spin off five top-30 singles that dealt with the kinds of adult topics that usually don't wind up on normally youth-driven pop charts. Some of the subject matter dealt with on these hits includes the hypocrisy of televangelists ("Jesus He Knows Me"), acidic parent-child relationships ("No Son of Mine"), and the disintegration of long-time relationships ("Never a Time"). Other topics dealt with on WE CAN'T DANCE include the unskilled workers who built England's railways in the 19th century ("Driving the Last Spike") and the homeless ("Tell Me Why"). There's also a requisite ballad for the adult contemporary market, "Hold on My Heart."

Report this review Bought the album on the basis of having a gap in my Genesis collection. This cd is not great, typical of the later Phil Collins influenced albums. Couple of ok tracks, No son of mine and the other singles. The rest tends to blend into each other, nothing like the Gabriel / Hackett influenced stuff I was brought up on which I have to admit I prefer. So if you like the stuff up to "...then there were three", take a listen before byuing. Review ID: 10000000008332277 Was this review helpful? Report this review probably the most polished of all genesis albums and that is not always a good thing, didn't really like tracks like "driving the last spike" and "no son of mine" but hey great album none the less.
