    This album is unbelievably good, i first flung it off as some silly shenanigans but not only is it funny its incredibly furious and rocking, theres a real sense of musicianship when listening to this album 5 stars for me.

    There are really only three songs of note on this album. Unfortunately, they are all singles anyway. My advice to anyone who actually appreciates good music is to steer clear of this travesty. Much of the time, Jack and Kyle are just talking inanely and can barely muster a laugh between them.

    This is nowhere near their live performances, the light guitars replaced the faux-metal style, for the worse. The only people who like this album are those who never heard them before this CD. For the rest of us, it is a total letdown...

    While musically quite accomplished, as I listen to Jack Black whine out another set of profanity, I begin to wonder if he realises that he's not actually as funny as he thinks he is. Amusing one-off beer-fridge entertainment.

    This CD freaking rocks...I always thought Jack Black gave a great performance at the end of "High Fidelity" he gives even a better one on this CD, The lyrics are so out there its funny but its also childish what makes it so good is that these guys sound better than any other band out now, they play better, they mix better, they sound better these guys are real fucking good my only gripe This CD freaking rocks...I always thought Jack Black gave a great performance at the end of "High Fidelity" he gives even a better one on this CD, The lyrics are so out there its funny but its also childish what makes it so good is that these guys sound better than any other band out now, they play better, they mix better, they sound better these guys are real fucking good my only gripe is some songs though sounding great are way too short. Other than that I can never get tired of this mess of weirdness nad good tunes "Tribute" is a winner!… Expand

    Amazing album! It combines so many different styles and influences that you don't know where to turn, but everywhere you do, you hear something that you like. Jack Black CAN SING! The humour is great, but the awesome part of their songs, is that even if you took the humour out of them, you would very cool, very melodic, songs, not just a throw-away tune that is no longer worth it.

    For some people, there's just no explaining some things; they'll never get them no matter what. For just about everyone else, this album is a breath of fresh air - and it's really hard not to like the D and their album. Let's just hope they come out with another one sometime - preferably soon.

    This is such a rocking album, it will make you want to implode. The songs are funny, but most importantly, they be good. KG rocks!

    Take away the insane lyrics, and you’ve still got music worth listening to. Granted, it sounds like Journey being raped by Ronnie James Dio, but you have to admit that’s intriguing.

    Not since Bob and Doug McKenzie have two jokers nailed the clod-metal aesthetic so accurately: Nearly every lyric here comes straight from your high school's bathroom wall.

    They're profane, bursting with rage and lust, and they deliver more laughs than anyone since Richard Pryor.
