Psychotic Supper is the third studio album by American hard rock band Tesla, released in 1991. The album peaked at 13 on the Billboard 200, and was certified platinum by RIAA on November 5, 1993.[1]
The album "mashes a few convincing pop metal hits with moderate stabs at the Black Crowes' roots rock purity".
The album's reception was mostly positive. Steve Huey from AllMusic, gave the album three-and-a-half stars, saying, "[the album] benefits from a more stripped-down production than The Great Radio Controversy, using fewer overdubs and thereby enhancing Tesla's bluesy, acoustic-tinged rock & roll". In 2005, Psychotic Supper was ranked number 475 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[2] The album was retrospectively called Tesla's peak, by Ultimate Classic Rock writer Matt Wardlaw in 2016.[3]
