WE CAN'T DANCE

It hurts me to say that I hate "We Can't Dance", but it's kinda true. At this point Genesis entered the 1990s, a place they did not belong with the changing soundscape that Nirvana ushered in. I really try to just refer to "Invisible Touch" as their last album, but alas, they released "We Can't Dance", so it must at least be aknowledged. I just can't stand that by 1991, even though they were still selling lots of records and selling out football stadiums scross the world, Genesis had become a parody of themselves. The songs on "We Can't Dance", while trying to have a social message (maybe that's the problem) sound contrived. I will end the review positively by saying that "Fading Lights" is a nice sprawling, somber song for Phil Collins to end his career with Genesis.
