I love Tenacious D and their debut album. In their own words,
"it f u c k i n g Rocks Hard"! Now, I am a bit biased when it
comes to this album and the band itself being such a huge fan of
their ill-fated series that crashed and burned on HBO. It lasted
all of 3 episodes. But from this they have manage to create a
cult following that has sustained them their entire career and
spawned a movie The Pick Of Destiny. A lot of the material on
the album is based off the series, but is not the actual
recording as they made a full blown production here.
So. what exactly is this album? Is it a comedy album or a Rock
album? It's actually both. But just because it has skits in
between the songs, it doesn't diminish the fact that as a
musical duo, both Jack Black and Kyle Gass do indeed rock and
write great songs and Jack himself can banshee howl with the
best rock singers out their in Metal-land. Personally, I enjoy
the skits because some of the stuff is just downright gut
busting funny. But I do think the album itself has a certain
niche and will be better received by those that are fans of the
show.
There's too many songs to break down here along with the skits
as well, so I will just head into listing my...
Fave Songs: Kielbasa, Tribute, Wonderboy, F u c k Her Gently,
Explosivo, Dio, Lee, Friendship and Rock Your Socks.
Fave Skits: All of 'em. But there are definite stand outs like
One Note Song, One C o c k Push Ups and Friendship Test.

there were a few versions of the songs I actually preferred from
the HBO show better than these fully realized tracks on the
disc...and the fact that "Tribute" aka "the best song in the
world"...could NOT nod as heavily to Stairway to Heaven on the
record kind of sucked. (did suck (not the song...but it had to
be changed too much) ...the show version had more parts taken
directly from Stairway ...which did make it even funnier.
I do love the record...and have it somewhere on CD although I
haven't even seen it in a few years...I am sure it's around
somewhere.

Would I have preferred to have the original songs? Yes and no. I
like the full production that we get on the debut. If they had
released just what was on the show, the album would probably
clock in around 20 minutes since all the songs were much
shorter. But I do get what you saying in that some of the
remakes from the original did tend to lose something in the
translation. But I've had this album for so long that its kind
of replaced what was on the show because I don't get around to
watching it as much as I'd like to. I've played this one a
million times. It's ingrained in my brain now. I'm sure there
is a bootleg of all the best bits from the show floating around
in Cyberland.

Yeah, I remember you saying that you had a copy. It was about 15
years ago if not longer when you mentioned it. I will give you
just 2 more weeks to find it or else!!

Rockin' Friendship right now. It's awesome. The melody kicks
ass. Why this song wasn't a bigger hit is mind boggling. It's
really a great song.
"Long as there's a record deal we'll always be friends"
Awesome!!
