  Released in 2019, we have assume that this is the last full studio album that we are getting from Tesla. Produced by Def Leppard's Phil Collen, it suffered from criticism among some corners of the Tesla world that it sounded too much like Def Leppard.

  I am not convinced that's fair. Yes, the Def Lep influences are unmistakably there. But California Summer Song is as pop as anything Tesla has ever recorded, but not in a Def Lep way. I'm not even sure where to place it. Everclear maybe?

  Anyway, if this is their swan song, they went out in style.
