    This album is unbelievably good. It's really funny and the music is actually good. Surprise. It's a jem of an album with great comedy that even they could not repeat. (see tribute)

    Hardest and funniest rocking I've ever heard... Can listen to it all day, every day. Best band, period. Nothing else to be said. Long live the D!

    It's hard to rate Tenacious D's self-titled debut, while it's well made and relatively funny. You can't help but think why would they make this album. Did Jack Black really sell his soul to the devil to write "greatest song in the world" or was he just bored. Regardless it's a fun listen.

    Who thought that Tenacious D would be so fun to listen to (as long as you don't mind the strong language). With Jack Black's awesome voice and Kyle's funky acoustic guitar skills, makes this album (and the band) a really good one. Yes, Tenacious D is 'the best band in the world'.

    Your first thoughts after hearing about Jack Black being the front for a rock band would be he is doing a parody. But, his band is actually good and he can sing. The lyrics are pretty funny as well.

    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.

    Jack Black and Kyle Glass kick some major motherfuckin ass in this one. Jack Black is a musical mastermind and Kyle Glass just plays guitar like a god.

    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.

    Incredible. Amusing. Sing along lyrics. Brings a smile to my face at every listen. Especially when it randomly comes on iTunes. Genius

    It's sort of a novelty album, but rather than just silly songs, they actually do very good guitar work and have pretty high production values. They have some DVDs out that are also worth checking out.

    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.
