Love It
I knew some fans would not like the Phil Collen production, but I loved it. This album has a little bit of everything and I like to see a band grow. It does have the lep background vocals at times, but again I like that. Tesla is at a place where they wanted to move the needle in a new direction. It works for me and I think they are happy with the results, in fact, they are overjoyed. You can't please everyone and this goes with any band. This is an album that just keeps growing on you as you listen. As I said, it has the classic Tesla sounds but also takes new roads. I figured the California song would make some mad. As for me, I like the song and it has the summer feel sitting at an amphitheater singing along to its groove kinda hook. A previous reviewer mentioned the drum machine at the beginning of Shock and no I do not like that, but the song rocks. This album was for them and they love it, most of these songs will never be heard live as their set list is impressive. Give it a listen as see what you think. Just my thoughts on an album from the cool guys in Tesla, Rock on

4.0 out of 5 stars A new direction provides much needed inspiration
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019

The first five albums are my favorite from this band, but I've felt for some time now that they weren't coming up with anything new. Well, they went in a totally different direction. Yes, some songs have guitar melodies and choruses that sound like Def Leppard. I'm actually okay with that because it was something new. I'd grown tired of the same old because the last couple albums sounded exactly the same, which was not the case at all with the first five.

This album has plenty of melodies, good guitar hooks, and Jeff Keith's voice hasn't been this good in years. Some complain that California Summer Song doesn't sound like Tesla, but I've been a die-hard fan since the late 80s, and it sure sounds like a Tesla song to me. Because of all the negativity surrounding this release, I previewed every song at least 5 times before deciding to buy it. I'm glad I did. I think it's their best album since Into the Now.

Long time Tesla fan here. And sure, we will never get another Mechanical Resonance, just like we will never get another Too Fast for Love or Black Sabbath. But Tesla has been pretty consistent in their powerful guitars and melodic vocals. So after Simplicity, Shock is a really sweet surprise. Got rockers and ballads on it, and Tesla is still one of the best ballad-writing entities out there. I know I didn't like the last one much at all, but this one is a return to form but not repetitive.

3.0 out of 5 stars Less Tesla Than Ever
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

I don’t think I’ve heard an album by Tesla that sounds less like Tesla and more like “everyone else.” The songs here aren’t “bad,” they just don’t, for the most part, sound like Tesla. While the bigger production sound and mix will please many fans (at least compared to the much maligned and stripped-down sounds of Simplify), the edginess and gritty qualities that have made this band so endearing for decades seem absent. The question in my mind: what happened that made the band feel they needed Phil Collen to cowrite and produce this album? Don’t get me wrong, I love Def Leppard, but Tesla has been more than capable of writing great music over the years. A collaboration is great, but not when it takes too much away from the core identity of the original band.

Here is the less than good news. “You Won’t Take Me Alive” has a nice rock riff but doesn’t have the bite of even a song like “Forevermore.” I hear Def Leppard in “Taste Like” and this doesn’t even sound like a Tesla song. This was exactly what the band so wisely avoided in the late 80’s – to avoid sounding like everyone else in the crowd at the time. The guitar riffs are solid and catchy, but this doesn’t sound like Tesla. On “We Can Rule The World” they sound more like the Beatles meets Queen than Tesla. Similarly, the title track sounds more like Muse than Tesla. “Love Is A Fire” is a nice ballad – words kinda trite though – but it doesn’t sound like Tesla. “California Summer Song” just doesn’t sound like Tesla – very disappointing. And to make things worse, there is another ballad with unconvincing lyrics – “Forever Loving You.”

The good news. “The Mission” is a very good song and I like the lyrics. This one borrows from the “Forevermore” vibe and continues in that vein. Finally, a song that feels like Tesla. Lyrically, this song is mature and suits these guys at this point in their career. “Tied To the Tracks” has a solid rock ‘n’ roll vibe and groove and once again sounds more like Tesla – gritty rock with attitude and truth. The ballad “Afterlife” doesn’t fall at the right sequence here, but in my opinion is the best ballad type song on the album. “I Want Everything” is a good rocker with some truth-infused lyrics but once again starts to move away from the core Tesla vibe. I do think the album closes well with “Comfort Zone.” The bass lead in on this one is great. Yes, this song is once again heavily influenced by the Def Leppard side of things, but the lyrics are convincing and “spot on.”

In summary, I just don’t think this is an album that many fans will embrace on repeated play. It’s “okay” but pales in comparison to even Forevermore or Into the Now which were solid, very good albums.

Some fans will be put off by this album because it is overpolished and doesn't have hard and fast songs like "Coming at you Live" but it does have nice rockers like "You Won't Take Me Alive" and "Tied to the Tracks" This isn't Tesla with an edge from the 80's but by today's standard this an excellent rock record with plenty of variety (see the ballad "Forever Loving You" and the cool groove of "Comfort Zone" ) If you don't expect screaming, all out adrenaline, and actually listen to how catchy the songs are, you should enjoy it.

Thank you Phil Collen! I've been expecting this cd to reinvigorate the experience of listening to Tesla again, and after two plus times listening to the cd, my expectations was surpassed! Highly recommend (yes you can hear the influence of Phil and all of his passion with Def Leppard). Now, if we can only bring the two into North America as they are touring in Canada together now (but make it a 2 hour show for each)....

4.0 out of 5 stars Different but solid and enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2019

Tesla teamed up with Def Leppard's Phil Collen to produce and co-write all of the tracks (in addition to some guitars & vocals) on their 8th studio release "Shock". This album is proving to be quite polarizing among fans. The Def Leppard influence is all over this album in terms of the overall production and songwriting style. "Shock" is definitely very different than their past studio efforts and an open mind is required to absorb this one. While there are a couple of clunkers on the album, for the most part it is a solid and enjoyable release which sees the veteran act willing to try something different rather than rest on their laurels. The band, while not rocking quite as hard as they have in the past, sound invigorated on this release. Whether or not their fanbase accepts the direction taken on "Shock" remains to be seen. But I dig it for the most part feeling it will possibly grow in stature with time.

C'est toujours avec un grand plaisir que l'on découvre un nouvel album de Tesla. Ceci étant dit ,cette nouvelle sortie fait polémique. Pourquoi ? Parce que le groupe a travaillé en collaboration avec un membre de Def Lepard, Phil Collen. On comprend mieux cette appréhension de la part des fans. C'est sûr entre la musique du Léopard sourd et Tesla il y a un fossé. Tesla est un groupe de hard blues rock qui fait parler la poudre ce qui est rarement le cas chez DL. Alors quel est le résultat de cette association musicale. Eh bien elle n'est pas si catastrophique que ce que l'on aurait pu imaginer. Bien sûr sur cette galette la musique de Tesla s'est fortement adoucie mais les compositions sont bonnes. Quant à l'interprétation elle est sans faille. Jeff Keith est impérial sur tout l'album. Il n'a jamais si bien chanté, sa voix est puissante et éraillée sur les rocks mais sait aussi se faire douce et pleine d'émotion sur les balades. Pour ce qui est du reste du groupe c'est également un sans faute. En résumé Tesla a pris des risques avec cette collaboration mais arrive tout de même à garder son style, son identité. On accepte cette incartade à partir du moment où cette dernière reste isolée. Ce que l'on aime par dessus chez Tesla se sont des albums de la trempe d'un Mechanical resonance

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Tesla album for a while but download code doesn't work
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2019

Purchased my first Tesla vinyl since the brilliant Mechanical Resonance and it's one if the best recent ones. Only listened to it once so far but it's probably a grower like most Tesla output. It's quite like early Def Leppard which is no surprise given the Phil Collen input. My only gripe is that for the first time ever I have got a download code that doesn't validate so I am waiting for their Support to come back, hopefully quite quickly, so I can listen to this in the car over the weekend.
