    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?

    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.

I guess the joke's on those of us who actually listen to this garbage. Expand

    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.

    Tenacious D insists it is the greatest band in the world, and on a couple occasions during this soundtrack to the duo's upcoming film of the same name, you kinda believe it. [18 Nov 2006]
  3. Not only are these not the greatest songs in the world, they're not even a tribute to them.
