We Can't Dance is the fourteenth studio album by English Progressive Rock-turned-pop rock band Genesis, released in 28 October 1991 by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States. Their last album with frontman Phil Collins and consequently the last to feature the most recognizable three-man contingent of Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks, the album marked an end to the band's four-year hiatus that followed the end of their successful Invisible Touch tour in 1987, during which time the trio returned to focusing on their individual solo/side projects, with Collins notably releasing his blockbuster success …But Seriously during the interim. With Collins' success as a solo artist more than well-established, Rutherford and Banks fully expected Collins to ditch the group to focus on his own work, only for Collins to stick around for another album as part of Genesis.Musically, We Can't Dance continues the pop rock style that Genesis had been finding success with throughout the previous decade, but strips down the production to offer a better balance between their pop and prog elements. Notably, the thumping, twinkling synths that were omnipresent throughout Invisible Touch are replaced with more subtle, softer synth pads more reminiscent of Banks' keyboard work when Genesis was fronted by Peter Gabriel. The album also leans more closely into the prog side of Genesis' sound, with tracks like "No Son of Mine", "Driving the Last Spike", and "Fading Lights" demonstrating that the band were still willing to hold onto their roots, though still accentuated with a number of more pop-friendly songs like the anti-televangelist satire "Jesus He Knows Me" and the crooning ballad "Hold on My Heart".We Can't Dance was still a huge commercial success for Genesis, topping the charts in the UK, Australia, and several other European nations; it reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in the US. It was certified quintuple-platinum in the UK and quadruple-platinum in the US. We Can't Dance was furthermore supported by a lengthy eponymous tour spanning 78 shows between 1992 and 1993, selling out arenas and stadiums worldwide. The songs from this tour were later compiled on the live albums The Way We Walk, Volume One: The Shorts and The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs, respectively released in 1992 and 1993 (with the former also including tracks from the Invisible Touch tour).We Can't Dance was supported by six singles: "No Son of Mine", "I Can't Dance", "Hold on My Heart", "Jesus He Knows Me", "Never a Time", and "Tell Me Why". Only one of those broke the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: "I Can't Dance" (#7). That matched its highest position in the UK, where "No Son of Mine" beat it at #6. "I Can't Dance" was nominated for the Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals Grammy in 1993, though ultimately lost to Céline Dion & Peabo Bryson's cover of "Beauty and the Beast". | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Collins' character in "Jesus He Knows Me" is a parody of Ernest Angley. The music video's opening monologue is based on an actual story Angley recounted at an earlier stage of his career. | |

| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Well, more "new old sound album"; We Can't Dance strips back the synth-heavy production of Invisible Touch and goes back to the middle ground between "Prog Genesis" and "Pop Genesis" that defined the band's 1978-1981 output. | |

| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_33260fba | comment |
Calling the Young Man Out: "No Son of Mine" tells the story of a boy who runs away from home, and after some consideration attempts to return, only to be berated by his abusive father. Phil Collins has said in interviews that the lyrics are deliberately vague as to whether the narrator or his mother is the victim of the abuse. | |

| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_3549f04d | comment |
Fell Asleep Driving: "Dreaming While You Sleep" revolves around a man who fatally runs over a woman thanks to him drifting "in and out of sleep" while at the wheel. Since he's still extremely tired when he hits her, he impulsively keeps driving, resulting in him being dogged with guilt for the rest of his life. | |

Recurring Riff | |
| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_3bbf3fef | comment |
Recurring Riff: Part of Tony Banks' keyboard solo in the instrumental section of "Fading Lights" (around five or six minutes into the song) is melodically reminiscent of elements from the bridge near the end of "No Son of Mine". It's not exactly identical, but it's close enough that it stands out and provides a sense of bookends to the entire album (since they're the last and first songs, respectively). | |

Hypocritical Singing | |
| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_4469577f | comment |
Hypocritical Singing: "Jesus He Knows Me" is about an Egocentrically Religious televangelist who says "Won't find me practicing what I'm preaching/Won't find me making no sacrifice", as well as a verse about how "I believe in family" while cheating on his wife with both men and women. Later, there's "I Can't Dance", a very catchy song about how the protagonist has no musical talent. | |

| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: "No Son of Mine", "Driving the Last Spike", "Dreaming While You Sleep", and "Fading Lights" all surpass the six-minute mark and then some. The album also deserves mention: at 71 and a half minutes, it holds the position of being Genesis' longest studio album since the 94-minute The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 17 years prior and acts as their second-longest studio album overall. The whole thing is just a hair's length from maxing out CD copies, and vinyl releases ended up marking Genesis' first double-LP studio album since the aforementioned Lamb. | |

Large Ham: Phil Collins' televangelist character in the music video for "Jesus He Knows Me" is very bombastic in his sermons and behavior, with the ham factor ramping up as the video goes on (especially in the uncut version, where he gets so hammy his aides have to drag him off the set). Note that the song and video are both meant to mock televangelists, who themselves are known for their hammy delivery. | |

| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Lots of them. Among other examples... "Jesus He Knows Me" is a pretty open one against televangelists and prosperity theology; it's made even more clear in the uncut version of the song's music video, which features scenes of Phil Collins' televangelist character becoming so unhinged that his aides have to tear him away from the camera. "I Can't Dance" ridicules stylistic, model-heavy Dada Ads selling blue jeans (Phil felt the backing track sounded like an artsy/trendy Levi's ad, and the illustration for the song in the liner notes shows a man wearing blue jeans, taken from his backside). "Living Forever" mocks self-help trends, new age philosophies and fad diets. "Tell Me Why" criticizes wealthy governments for doing too little to help poverty and hunger. | |

Design Student's Orgasm: The album cover and liner notes feature a variety of lavish watercolor paintings by Felicity Roma Bowers, with the ones in the liner notes corresponding to individual songs. By pure coincidence, former frontman Peter Gabriel would pull a similar stunt with Us the year after this album and Up a decade after that, though in those cases the song art was each done by a different artist. For all three albums the song art formed the basis for the cover art of each album's associated singles (though Up dropped the gimmick for the single releases of "More Than This" and "Darkness"). | |

| We Can't Dance (Music) / int_e91cc721 | comment |
In the Style of: "I Can't Dance" is Collins' attempt at mimicking the vocal style of Fine Young Cannibals frontman Roland Gift. The historical drama of "Driving the Last Spike" doesn't really echo any Gabriel-era sounds or themes, except for maybe its longer length compared to other songs on We Can't Dance and a couple of time changes, but the song certainly wouldn't look out of place if it had appeared on 1978's ...And Then There Were Three.... On the other hand, the lengthy instrumental midsection of "Fading Lights" could be considered Genesis' re-imagining of their '70s symphonic prog sound for the '90s, though it still sounds somewhat less complex than much of the band's '70s material, owing mostly to its slower tempo. It even incorporates their '70s-era habit of reprising melodic material from an album's first song in its ultimate or penultimate track. | |

Insult Backfire: In the video for "Jesus He Knows Me", Phil Collins wears a suit and wig and affects a voice similar to that of American televangelist Ernest Angley, making him a specific target for the song's skewering of televangelism in general. Collins revealed in his appearance on Room 101 that Angley was apparently flattered by his "portrayal". | |

Accidental Murder: "Dreaming While You Sleep" covers the narrator accidentally running over a woman in the rain, and spending the rest of his life hiding the fact that he was the one responsible, all the while knowing that it's become a high-profile topic in the news and that even if he does manage to take the secret to the grave, it'll haunt him constantly. | |
