Genesis: We Can't Dance (Virgin)
Max Bell, Vox, December 1991
GENESIS'S 17TH album arrives some five years after Invisible Touch. As befits these sedate Home Counties chaps, We Can't Dance is the product of modest superstars whose sound is as cosy as carpet slippers and marmalade on a Sunday morning.
