I first heard tenacious D on Kerrang when i heard "tribute". A year or two after i had the chance to get the album so i did. I havn't listened to it that many times but every time i do, i enjoy it.
Tracks
"Kielbasa" - In this song Jack Black sings about his desire for anal sex. It's quite a good song but not the best.
"One Note Song" - This is a great skit. It's about Jack writing a song with one note.
"Tribute" - The song that made me want the album, the best moment has to be when JD shouts "Rock!" and the music kicks in. Amazing.
"Wonderboy" - Most people regard this as the best song on the album but i disagree. It is a god song just not the best.
"Hard F**king" - A 36 second skit. This is pretty much an introduction to the next song stretched into a seperate track.
"F**k Her Gently" - Once again everyone loves this song but me. I don't know why. I just find it boring.
"Explosivo" - This is my favourite song on the album. It's fast for The D. However it's very short.
"Dio" - Another short song, this is about Ronnie James Dio stepping down from metal to let The D fill his shoes. It's another one of my favourites.
"Inward Singing" - Another hilarious skit. Jack is convinced his invention "inward singing" is the greatest invention ever.
"Kyle Quit the Band" - This is a highlight of the album. It's a great song.
"The Road" - I'm not sure about this song. It might be great or terrible. I havn't made up my mind.
"Cock Pushups" - Another skit. This one is about JD preparing himself for more girls by doing "Cock pushups"
"Lee" - A song about their numbe one fan, Lee. It's short but great
"Friendship Test" (Bob Odenkirk) - Another skit. JD does a friendship test on Kyle.
"Friendship" - This is another highlight of the album. It's such a cool song.
"Karate Schnitzel" - This has to be one of the funniest skits i've heard.
"Karate" - Just over a minute long this song makes me laugh out loud every time i hear the line "I'll put out all your pubic hair"
"Rock Your Socks" - A great rock song. I love it.
"Drive-Thru" - I love this. The funniest thing i've heard in ages. A three minute long Skit.
"Double Team" - There's not a bad thing to say about this song. The most metal song of the album.
"City Hall" - Containing a hidden track at the end, this finshes the album well.
Summary
This is funnier than anything i've heard in a while but you can still rock out to it. Genius
Thanks for reading Joe 2007
How helpful would this review be to a person making a buying decision? Rating guidelines
thinking of getting this album. I've got the pick of destiny which is a fanstic album 2 play if you want to annoy the parentals. heheheh. I'm off 2 ebay as we speak. good review. Very helpful. I think if you wrote a bit more about how the songs sound and how they make you feel and why you think this album is truly brilliant you will get better ratings. Tell me if you update. :-) Kirsty
