Laugh if you like, but he's as convincing as any of today's straight-faced metal revivalists.  Full text...

"Tenacious D: The Pick Of Destiny", leaves no doubt of the groups intentions this time around as it is the soundtrack to an upcoming comedic film of the same name. Take off your thinking caps, rock fans. This is supposed to be ridiculous. And it is.   Full text...


Dotmusic Rating: 7.0

"The Pick Of Destiny" is likely to be among the finest cock rock albums about magical plectrums released this year.  Full text...


MusicOMH.com Rating: 6.0

The long awaited D film arrives, and in its wake comes the soundtrack. Don't be fooled though, The Pick Of Destiny serves as a soundtrack alone. Don't buy this blindly thinking that this is a full D release, because it falls a long way short.  Full text...


RollingStone Rating: 5.0

The fifteen tunes here tell the fictitious story of how Jack Black met Kyle Gass, formed Tenacious D and later fought some sort of demon to obtain the mythical pick of destiny. Many of the songs, such as "Break In City (Storm the Gate)" and "Car Chase City," exist solely to advance the plot and will be funny only to tweeners who have watched the movie eight times (not that there's anything wrong with that).  Full text...


Times Online Rating: 4.0

Film soundtracks rarely make much sense without pictures, but this second album from Tenacious D, Jack Black and Kyle Gass’s rock joke is truly pointless. The plot of the film (out on Nov 24) centres on the pair’s search for a guitar pick that will transform them into the greatest band on earth, and a battle of the bands involving the Devil.  Full text...


Drowned in sound Rating: 3.0

The album tells the story of Jack and Kyle's mission to retrieve some magic plectrum that's made from the devil's teeth. Or something. It's basically a 34-minute excuse for the pair to punctuate lines with the word "yeah!" and for Black to sing his jolly $12m-a-picture heart out.  Full text...


The Independent Rating: 2.0

A tedious, titter-free experience.  Full text...


Slant Magazine Rating: 2.0

The seams are starting to show in Jack Black's shtick: layering admittedly creative profanity into nonsensical rants pitched at ear-bleeding volume was funny early on, but now it's beginning to smack of desperation. Same goes for Tenacious D, Black's faux-metal acoustic folk-flecked rock duo with Kyle Gass.  Full text...

This album is so stupid. I expected a lot more from Jack Black, and he disappointed a lot of us! I wouldn't waste my money.


TheFan Rating: 10.0

If you watched the movie. Then this album is absolutely awesome. It's purpose is A SOUNDTRACK! Not a full release from the band. Its awesome, and so was the movie!


Some homeless guy Rating: 10.0

This album is freaking awesome. Its funny. You would hardly guess that this is the same jack black that starred in school of rock. I love it=D


Tribute Rating: 10.0

It's a freakin soundtrack people....its not a actual album get outta ur heads, it is not a waste of money if u like soundtracks, i freakin love tenacious d they are so musically talented its not even funny, if any tenacious d fans truly exist they will understand this movie is just a prelogue to any sublimical hilarious new album that will be released in the near future, and for all you nay sayers out there...u have no sense of humor or rock inquisitive..cause of course the D is on the of the best groups in the world


Droblowa Rating: 10.0

I dont care what any of these fuckn non-rockers have to say. Jables and Kage are fuckin rock gods. anyone who disagrees should be skull fuckd in their eye socket until they have brain damage & must eat through a straw & while thier attempting to eat the straw should be put in a septic tank to they can litterally be the shit sucker they are! Rock on D! Rock on! --an even bigger fan than Lee.


Neil Rating: 8.0

This rocks. Watch the film, then buy the album. DO NOT do it the other way round. You'll miss the whole f***ing point of it. Thats why billiejean thinks it's stupid. Or may she / he prefers S club or some other junk. You like the D? watch the movie, laugh, buy the CD, laugh as you remember the film. Belzeeboss is a rockin devilistic tune that you WILL love


rock badass Rating: 10.0

this is the best freaking c.d. ever enen my parents like they think the band is better than kiss so rock on Tenacious D end keep being the best metal band ever.rock on!


haider254 Rating: 8.0

Not as good as the first album but still brilliant stuff... always gets a grin on my face, I must look like a looney singing along to tenacious D whilst driving around.

billiejeanne, I really do wonder what kind of expectations you have from The D? the guys who in their previous album sang about sausages, rock squats and a fictional boy who lives a in castle made of clouds with telekinetic powers... and in Jacks other work he runs around kicking, rolling, sweating and red faced screaming in a high pitched voice... hmm... I know I got crazy high expectations... wonder if he could get elected president... maybe in the US.

I've never got or listened to the album but I have seen the music video for "The Pick of Destiny". It's awesome, and the weirdness of the song makes it so cool. Love.This.Song.


steeleblades Rating: 9.0

an awesum album, even better then the 1st, n b4 u say it, i no da 1st album was legendary, but this goes beyond the call of duty, 2 deliver hard rockin metal where its needed, one flaw tho, its partially let down by "baby" but so was da 1st album, it was let down by "wonderboy", all in all a gr8 buy, jables n kage rock my socks!


Smokehn D. Rating: 10.0

I love this band. Utterly, truthfully love it. Nobody could take 'The D' seriously at first, but it's incredible how musically talented and humorous this duo is. For all your sore, lousy, over-serious square-assed computer junkies out there who think this album is stupid, lighten up. It's not even really an album-it's a soundtrack.

Not only is it both funny and filled with catchy songs, it's still the same D that was released years ago. That's loyalty.

This is a great CD, some of my favorites were 'Kickapoo', 'The Divide', 'POD', and 'The Metal'.

Trust me, it's worth the buy.


TenaciousDRocks Rating: 10.0

This is the best cd iv ever heard. The songs may be short but they all ridicualy gunny. Tenacious d is the best band ever. Jack Black is the funniest dude and Kyle Gass adds to the riiculusness. I love it.


Joel Rating: 10.0

This Cd might be the best cd I'll get for Christmas. Before I saw the movie, I didn't know what the hell Tenacious D was. When I saw a clip from Amazon.com, I really wanted to see it. When I saw the movie, the volume was raised to 100. I love this cd. My favorite song is, "Master Exploder."


jenners18 Rating: 10.0

Well i loved School of rock and the music from it. But it has no match for Tenacious D. This album is prefect, it makes you laugh and you can still rock out to it. Best of both worlds. Jack and Kyle really know what their doing and they really know how to f***ing rock. Long live the D!


Tenacious D Smoke my Weed Rating: 10.0

The guy who doesn't speak Rating: 10.0

Such a piece of art. Downside is that if you've never seen the film it can sound quite different.


DEVO Rating: 10.0

The D made my heart soar when i heard this alblm, and not sore like hemroids i mean soar as in to take flight!

every thing the D has Done rocks They are The Greatest Band In The World. billiejeanne you non Rocker this line is for rockers only so don't comment right now !!! go play games with Micheal Jackson I.E. fuck him up his righteous A!


Stian Rating: 10.0

This is the best Tenacious D album, they rocked my socks of more in this album than the last one.. Its really was worth the money. And the CD came in a nice book-box whith a facinating cover and some tarrots cards.. and a deamon-thing-thing. At the time my favourite song is: "Beelzeboss (The Final Showdown)"

10 !!!


DailyDRockerRachel Rating: 10.0

Jack Black and Kyle Gass are geniuses. I have 2 daughters, aged 13 and 4. They are BOTH fans of the D. My 4 yr. old's favourite songs are Tribute, Wonderboy (which she calls the Mucky muck song), Baby, History of Tenacious D and Dude I totally miss you. I've been addictied to them like a drug since the day I heard them. A day hasn't gone by in 3 years that I haven't listened to them in my car. I was so excited when the sountrack came out. I bought it before seeing the movie...It was better AFTER the movie I must admit but a total work of art. The first album is brilliant and I listen to them both daily, over and over. It is music I can NEVER tire of. Every time I listen, I enjoy it just as much. People think I'm crazy when they see me rockin' out in my car. I am going to see them in Vancouver on the 20th of February and I am bursting with anticipation. Love you guys!!


Sim^moN Rating: 8.0

Its a ROCK-OPERA album - it tells a story. I cannot be considered as something independent from the film! I only given 8 cause its to short as it is for me. I could have more music, more songs!


BaRt Skull Rating: 10.0

I watched the film, I have bought CD and I can only say, that this stuff is complete masterwork :] Damn good piece of music !


euti Rating: 10.0

of course the album is not comparable to the debut album, witch is a perfect mixture of pure rock fascination... but the full intension and fun to make music is as alive in the soundtrack
and without any doubt Kickapoo is one of the best songs they ever made anyone who likes music that is made to entertain musician and the people more than to earn money all albums of the d are a must have, the same to the dvd masterpieces so go buy and listen to the message rock on and set the artist free


Brad Rating: 10.0

This is one of the greatest cd's i have ever bought! It does not only have great vocals by Jack Black but awesome guitar parts with Kyle Gass! Who ever says it sucks can suck a dick especially "billiejeanne = douche bag"


Pika Rating: 10.0

Wonderful!

Don't you like this?
You don't understand a f*ck of rock and music. Full stop.

Movie is really funny but this record doesn't need it to be appreciated.

The D's Rocks!!!!!!!!!


Lee Rating: 10.0

after reading the reviews I complied a list of people who gargle mayonnaise:

billiejeanne
The Independent
Slant Magazine
Drowned in sound
Times Online

LONG LIVE THE D!!!!!!!!!!!


Cosmo Rating: 8.0

It's Delicious. And while I get it's a soundtrack ,songs like break-in city(storm the gates) don't hold up on their own. Most of the songs will kick you in the nuts and spit on your face though. I mean that in a good way


Man Rating: 10.0

dude this album is very juicy, provided you see the film. i bought the album beforehand, and all the songs seemed a bit wierd, but one i saw the movie they all clicked into place. very rockin


k3n69 Rating: 10.0

This is the best movie ever! The sound track is awesome! But get the unedited version, not the edited, the edited version sucks!!! Just like The Government!!!!!


DustyThePirate Rating: 10.0

What the hell is wrong with the mass media types up there? The D fucking rocks! I can't imagine there being a more magical rock band. The lyrics express the depth of a rocker. Thats how we talk, and thats what we talk about! The sounds they put out are hardcore, unlike many of todays emo bands. Their sound is for the truly hardcore fans of rock, not for the 'I wanna fit in' genre.


Crossed The Line Rating: 10.0

Dudes this cd rocked my brains out so hard that im still trying to get the stain of the wall.And to you nah-sayers screw the lot of you who are trying to defy the persuassive power of the D!
TENACIOUS D = ROCK!!!!!

ENOUGH SAID!


mozer Rating: 10.0

Tenacious D are one of a kind and the movie was by far the funniest of jack;s carrer and showed everyone who didnt velive in the D what they are mad e of. Keep rockin tenacious D !!


Thedisawesome Rating: 10.0

I listin to the cd like almost every day it is awesome and i have seen the movie like 6 or 7 times its awesome *IN a long ass F***in time ago in a town called kickapoo* a microphone My voice is fuckin Powerful!!


I'm hust a baby Rating: 10.0

Never really heard Tenacious D before, but then i got the dvd in my video shop and I've watched it about 10 times (and that was only today!!!) Then I heard you could get the cd without the movie and it is the shit!!!!! Especially Beelzeboss damn!! Whoever says this cd is crap has obviously never had the D 'come in their ear pussies!'


Lee Rating: 10.0

A lot better than the first album. It took a while to grow on me but i cant stop listening to it now. Also its probably one of the only real rock records out today. Track 1 with meatloaf is strongly comparable to the movie tommy. Awesome.
