Amazon.co.uk Review
Biting, sometimes-base satire and humour populate this 21-track comedy-rock debut from actor-musician Jack Black and his band, Tenacious D. Sort of like a trashier, more casual and less musical Beck, vocalist-guitarist Black and guitarist-vocalist Kyle Gass--with help from Foo Fighter Dave Grohl, Redd Kross's Steve McDonald and Page McConnell of Phish--deliver oddball musings that will appeal mostly to fans of the talented Black, who has earned a following thanks to frenetic turns in the films High Fidelity and Jesus' Son. The songs and "bits" include the wonderfully, intentionally melodramatic "Wonderboy", Black ordering "four Chicken McNuggets" on "Drive Thru" and the funny ode to metaller Ronnie James Dio, where Black observes, "Dio has rocked for a very long time / Now it's time for him to pass the torch." With often intentionally droll and dumb humour, this more-comedy-than-rock debut is likely to achieve cult status. --Katherine Turman

Customer Reviews

some great tunes and some funny interludes
This album has some rocking tunes, as well as some funny interludes. This album isn't meant to be too serious (as rock is fun after all) and has a great combination of humour and well written songs. It's a perfect summer album and will make you laugh out loud at times, sure some of the jokes are school boyish but they're funny as hell. Enjoy!

This is just a tribute
This album is not for the faint of heart. For many, the comedy will be a touch too crass and lewd; but for the rest of us this offering from Jack Black and Kyle Gass should be placed high upon a pedestal and saluted. Comedy albums are dangerous. Often the band is a one-hit-wonder and then sinks without a trace. Not so with Tenacious D, mainly because they actually ROCK!!!! Finally an album that is genuinely funny and fulfils its promise to 'rock your socks off'. Who on this earth could not fail to be swayed by the gem that is 'Tribute', weep as Black tells how 'Kyle Quit The Band' or chuckle at 'Drive-Thru'. But this album is also educational....I can now inwardly sing, kick ass with karate and do a pushup with my...yes, well. In short, if, like me, you are a fan of silly humour, want to rock hard or simply need a pep-up in your otherwise bland cd collection then go out and immediately buy this cd.....hell, whoever you are go out and buy it! Spread the word of the D, purge the unbelievers and listen to this kick-ass record. Get it in...NOW!

Hilarious!
I'd never heard of the Tv show or band Tenacious D until i heard their first release "Tribute" on the TV. I knew of jack Black and have loved his insane comedy since his role as "Barry" in "High Fidelity".
The album is great and the only predictable thing is that you know you are going to laugh from start to finish!
Personal favourite tracks for me would be the heroic "Wonderboy", the funky sounding "Kielbasa" and the weirdly sweet "F**k Her Gently". Black is very clever with his funny lyrics, so this album will be enjoyed from start to finish.

If your a fan of Jack Black and love funny bands mixed with a bit of cool Rock and Metal, buy this CD. Let's hope they make a follow up!
