We Can't Dance (W/Dvd) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This past year has been a big one for Genesis. After reuniting nearly a decade after Phil Collins left the group, the threesome of Phil, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks had still proven they haven't lost their touch. that has proven also this past year, with the re-releases of several of their classic albums from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It has proven to be so amazing that the songs sound even better than ever, and the testiment of time that great music still comes from the heart. While all the hype has been more around recent releases from former American Idol winners Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks, Genesis still proves that they can dance, and that can even be said with this re-release.
The 2007 re-release of the Genesis album We can't Dance, the final album with singer Phil Collins as the lead, still is just as fun to listen to, as it was when it was released over 15 years ago. The album sounds better than ever, and feel just as delightful to listen to now, as it did then. The album includes their big hits from that album including the somber and intimate Hold On My Heart, the down to Earth and meaningful No Son Of Mine, the bass driven dance classic I Can't Dance, which has been the unoffical anthem of wallflowers and bachelors, as well as other songs that capture the light like the overlooked Never A Time and Since I Lost You, which was originally written in regards to the death of Eric Clapton's son Connor who tragically died after falling out of a window back in 1991.
The extra DVD also brings in the fun as well, with the classic videos for their big hits like Jesus He Knows Me, and I Can't Dance among the smash singles, as well as the lesser-known track Tell Me Why. The disc also includes a behind the scenes documentary No Admittance, which looked at their Live: The Way We Walk Tour for We Can't Dance, as well as new interviews with regards to the classic pop album.
All in all, We Can't Dance still sounds as good as it did when it came out years ago, and the re-released album is a great treat for any classic Genesis, or for anyone who just has been recently re-introduced to Genesis over their recent 2007 reunion tour. Even though Genesis claimed they can't dance, they are still dancing out loud with this album. I absolutely recommend it a whole lot.
