This is not typical of Tesla yet at the same time it is.
On first impressions I was not a big fan of the acoustic versions. I was expecting a lot more going on the previous acoustic sets.
However if you get over the fact that some of your favorite tracks have been changed to suit acoustic and enjoy the album for what it is; It soon becomes a great album, and one I have now listened to constantly.
There are no weak tracks, or tracks you skip over. As with Tesla each song is different. Not like traditional bands where they repeat the same tune again and again but to different words. This album mixes cleverly smooth tunes. there is never an awkward area where they stutter as a solo comes on as an example. The songs flow perfectly.
The new tracks on here are most probably, and I hope a taste of the future material to come from Tesla. They have a way of making words fit so perfectly into songs.
As you can see this is yet another Tesla album I love.

"Much More Than I Expected/Pleasantly Surprised!"
12 July 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a fantastic CD release by the hard rock outfit Tesla titled 'Twisted Wires' & the acoustic sessions.... This CD (12 tracks) features two brilliant brand new tracks, namely "Second Street" & "Better Off Without You" as well as 'the older' 10 songs being a combination of the last recorded (acoustic tracks) with the former guitarist Tommy Skeoch in 2005 & acoustic remakes/versions from their catalogue. Stand-outs/gems/solid tracks include "Second Street" (wonderful melody, acoustic guitars & vocals), "Better Off Without You" (beautuful guitar chords, melody & vocals) & "A Lot To Lose" (incredible melody, harmonies/vocals & guitars). Great tracks include "Into The Now", "Hang Tough", "Edison's Medicine", "What You Give" (a slow track with great guitar finger pick-ups & vocals), "Shine Away" (great guitar work & interesting harmonies), "I Love You", "Changes" (great piano & guitar chords combination), "Caught In A Dream" & "Song And Emotion". On overall, Tesla (being known for their brilliant combination of acoustic & electric guitar sounds) will impress you in this CD 'Twisted Wires', a highly recommended CD listening. I was pleasantly surprised at the enjoyment I felt listening to this CD (acoustic tracks). A well deserved 5 star performance!

This is Great!
16 July 2011
So you're on a trip driving with your wife and Stinkfist from Tool is on the radio. She says...."isn't there something better we can listen to?" So she starts fumbling with the radio and the next thing you know it lands on the country station. Nooooooo! I can't take 2 1/2 hours of Blake Shelton. So look, pop in this Tesla CD. You get to hum along with some old favorites, and the acoustic versions are not too harsh on your woman's ears. Especially like the acoustic versions of Edison's Medicine and Changes. 4.5 stars. I thought it started to drag a bit towards the end or else it would be a 5.

Never Better...
16 July 2011
Format:Audio CD
Buy it...just buy it. Tesla fan or not. This is better than "Signs", just no mega-hit. If you are a die hard Tesla fan from the 80s and 90s, versions of "Hang Tough" , "Into the Now" and "Shine Away" will send shivers up your spine...that good. Jeff Keith's vocals are as awesome as ever. Fan of the band or not you will be impressed. Would like to see some of the supposed big boys of metal produce something like this. They cant do it. Tesla ROCKS.
