Mechanical Resonance 1986 Album

Tesla

Nothing to do with electric cars or inventors, for once upon a time this Tesla was the butt of many a grunge fan's joke. Truth be told, Yours Truly was only familiar with a few of their songs around the turn of the 90's - most notably their cover of "Signs", which went the "Unplugged" route before MTV made it fashionable. Despite what the title states, the pranksters may have had a point, because their debut makes two major errors - it's too serious for a glam metal record, and too glam to be taken seriously. The second half of the album somewhat makes up for a drab first half, but overall, it's hard to think of who this would resonate with.
