We Can't Dance (2007 Remaster) - Genesis

After the success of Invisible Touch, people wondered what Genesis would do as a followup. Well, they'd rest for awhile, since it took several years for the guys to get together again for another album. Released roughly five years after the last album, We Can't Dance was for me the album they should have made after "Genesis". This album seems like a good mix between the commercial and the non commercial Genesis music.

I very much liked "No Son of Mine", "Jesus He Knows Me", & "I Can't Dance". Yeah, I know, they're the singles, but they stick out more to me sitting here writing this than the rest of the tracks do. As I look at the CD next to my keyboard now, I recall really liking this album when it was new, I need to break it out and give it another listen. I actually still have my pre-recorded cassette tape I bought of this, plus my wife has her original CD copy as well, so I guess that qualifies as being an album we both like if we still have our original purchases. :)

As a random note, the logo they used on this album continues to be used today. Aside from the album they did with Roy Wilson in 1997, it's been in use since this album.

The 2007 remaster series has two discs. The second has a DVD Audio 5.1 mix of the album, plus new interviews, videos, live footage, etc. I got this version of the CD in the 1983-1998 Genesis Box Set. You can order that here, but the cover art here links to the individual 2007 remaster version of this album, as it's cheaper to buy them individually, but you don't get the bonus discs in the box set.
