Psychotic Supper
Psychotic Supper is the third studio album by American hard rock band Tesla, released in September 1991 on Geffen. It followed Mechanical Resonance (1986) and The Great Radio Controversy (1989), and it came before Bust a Nut in 1994. The music sits in hard rock territory with a strong blues rock streak.
The record climbed to number 13 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the RIAA on 5 November 1993. The packaging is worth a look too: vinyl copies show an image of Nikola Tesla at a dinner table, while the CD insert zooms in on the middle right of that same picture and folds out to reveal the whole scene, with the band's logo in a different spot.
