There was never much separating
Tesla from the rest of the melodic metallists that ruled
MTV and radio during the late '80s -- from a musical standpoint. Although to their credit,
Tesla never dolled themselves up in make-up and mile-high hair, as these gentlemen always favored shirts and jeans over spandex. But musically, they certainly fit in with the aforementioned genre. By the time of their eighth studio effort overall, 2008's
Forever More, the group is still following the same formula they've been favoring since the beginning -- slightly heavier than a mainstream rock band, but not as heavy as a true metal band. Case in point, such rockers as the album opening title track,
"One Day at a Time," and
"The Game," which could have easily fit on earlier
Tesla albums, as well as more mellow ditties as
"So What!," and tracks that fall somewhere between the rock and the mellow (
"Pvt. Ledbetter," "In a Hole Again," etc.).
Tesla play it safe on
Forever More, and as a result, come up with an album that stands up well against their popular earlier efforts.

What a great sounding record!
Took a few spins to decide overall what I thought about this new Tesla record but I fast found several favorites. Now after many spins I find myself really digging the new material and now have a lot of favorites on this record. "So What" and "In A Hole Again" are my top favs and I think "First Time" sounds like it should be a movie soundtrack, great melody. Anyway lots to dig and something for everyone. Songs are solid, band sounds great and Jeff Keith's vocals sound kick ass as usual. Good stuff Tesla!!

Awesome!
Man, if you haven't heard the new Tesla cd, Forever More yet...you're missing one of the best of 2008.
Tesla never disappoints - their music is quintessential. You get the best of the best with Forever More. New sounds, but definitely Tesla.
Put it on your "buy me" list. Now.
