it was good.

Seriously, people, this is a very funny and rockin' record. And who gives a crap how long the playing time is as long as all the tracks are as strong as this material is. Jack Black's vocal skills put to shame 95% of the singers that currently populate the airwaves today.

the album isn't even the same league as the first but its still has some redeeming qualities, it just doesn't coerce well into the story line, jumping from song to song in a semi linear pattern, better luck next time boys...

This album is absolutely hilarious!! I laughed so hard, milk came out my nose!

of course the songs don't stand out on their, own its a musical. its a movie soundtrack, so don't listen to it before you see the movie.

Come on 52? the user rating of 77 at time of writing is a lot more realistic! this album is not utter greatness but still a very fun (if short) ride. listen to Dave Grohl in Beelzeboss on drums and doing the devils vocals on that song... it´s brilliant. really. and that´s just one of the little pearls found on this album.

This CD is awesome

I've seen the movie and I still feel this album pales in comparison to the s/t. What were they thinking releasing this before the movie.... what were they thinking releasing this at all?

It doesn't reach the comic brilliance of the first album. The main reason being, it's music made to score the movie. The visuals do help. I'm listening to this album quite a bit right now. Thinking back to the movie diffinitely enhances the enjoyment. Watch the movie and listen to "Master Exploder" and try not to smile. Impossible.

If I want humor or pathos while I'm getting my rocks off, I'll turn to Bob Dylan, Sparks, Frank Zappa, or Warren Zevon, thank you very much. Fat Jack the schizophenic entertainer just doesn't do it for me as a metal head. Oh sure, he's got talent. But Kevin Federline can flip a mean hamburger, too. That doesn't imply I want him on the board of directors. The only thing tenacious about these guys is their dogged pursuit of cultural relevance. I guess the joke's on those of us who actually listen to this garbage.… Expand

dont be harsh! its not as good as the first album but its still the best of its kind.

Tenacious D is the best fucking band on earth

30 min?! That's not cool...

Though Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny is not the masterpiece of comedy and rock-worship that was their debut, the soundtrack still offers a handful of 'hot-and-tasty' cuts. We finally get to hear the unholy union of Dio and the D in the opening track, and it works to set the album up as a sort of neo- rock opera. It may not work as well as a standalone record, certainly not a fully realized rock opera, but it doesn't have to. The songs exist as part of the film and shouldn't be judged totally apart from it. At first listen, it may appear to be a re-hash of some of the spoofs and jokes from their older material, but the songs prove to be subtle (yet rocking!) pokes at some of the more ridiculous song-styles and lyrics that have been passed off as rock and metal in the past 30 years. We shall see if the film offers as much.… Expand

If a tad worse then their debut album, it's because of lack of innovation factor and its short running time. Other then that it positively rocks the socks off. Yet to see the actual movie.

awesome!

This album was terrible, like they didnt even try.. my opinion they need to take music more seriously

Man this movie sucked. There story could have been written by a 10 year old. Dough i love both Jack Black and Dave Grohl, there is no excuse for this movie. I think turned it off 3 times. I would have called Jack and asked for my money back if I didnt borrow it for free from a friend.

Funny movie and great music.

It has been said in other reviews that Tenacious D should take their music more seriously . . . I bet the guys writing those reviews are a lot of fun at parties.

Sometimes not taking yourself too seriously is the point. As far as the comments about â
