The last track alone is enough to redeem all that is not good on the album. Hats off to Camel, who in this difficult moment of their career move forward with seriousness, almost ignored by everyone.

The worst Genesis record has very little redeemable. A brazen and best-selling product, cheerful and annoying, with very little artistic vein.

'We Can’t Dance' appears to me as a very good work, where Tony, Phil, and Mike demonstrate their style and maturity. Songs like 'Driving The Last Spike,' 'Dreaming While You Sleep,' and 'Fading Lights' undoubtedly show the fundamental contributions of Tony and Mike.

The monumental track concludes with Aquatarkus: the armored beast born from the fire to fight, struck in the eye by the Manticore’s sting, flees and vanishes into the sea. For many, perhaps a relic, Tarkus is still there, austere and unbeatable, thirty-five years and more after the explosion.
