In the album sleeve, Tesla gives the listener the following advice: "Rock It to the Top!". Unlike their more mature future releases, Mechanical Resonance is Tesla at their most "glam". The result is incredible hard rock (probably metal), with "No Machines" of course. As stated in All Music Guide, each of the album sides are artistically different, with side A being more glam while side B consists of more hard rock, despite this each style pervades each side. "EZ Come EZ Go", "Cumin' Atcha Live", "2 Late 4 Love", and "Love Me" are mindless pleasures that quickly gain your attention. "Gettin' Better" is a slower paced and more complex song. However, heart pounding rockers like the idiotic (but incredibly addictive) "Rock Me to the Top" and the classic "Modern Day Cowboy" shows that Tesla could rock as hard as the metal bands yet maintain their raw, crunchy, and incredibly accessible sound. "Changes" and "Before My Eyes" are the best ballads of the album, which mixes Tesla's rawness with enough refinement to make them both enjoyable. Mechanical Resonance was an incredibly underrated album by an incredibly underrated band. Like this album, Tesla tried to have it both ways, but being associated with metal contributed to Tesla's demise to grunge.
