Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny

undefined

The time draws near when the titans of rock will give rise to the mother of all soundtracks, an album that will become the center of the sonic solar system, the album that is The Pick Of Destiny. Jack Black and Kyle Glass, those gods of rock that together form the power-metal duo Tenacious D, have achieved the greatest album of all time - a history-making, world-shaking soundtrack that will rock your very soul. One can expect nothing but hell-fire rocking from a team that has worked with president Satan as their film's executive producer on the New Line cinema film ''Tenacious D in the Pick Of Destiny'' starring Jack & Kyle. If the D's 2001 eponymous debut sold nearly 2 million albums worldwide & is platinum in the US, the greatest record ever created must surely exceed these numbers by about a gazillion. Explicit version has a 3D cover. 15 brand new songs along with dialog from the movie. .com ---- Like Spinal Tap, the Rutles, and even the Bonzo Dog Band, Tenacious D manage to send up rock conventions while employing them expertly. The soundtrack to their first full-length motion picture mixes songs and bits from the movie, but it plays like a hilarious concept album more than anything. Dave Grohl and (one half of the) Dust Brothers--who played on the D's delicious 2001 debut--are here joined by Meat Loaf and Ronnie James Dio. The title song navigates power balladry from the late '80s and early '90s in ways most awesome, while also throwing in a bridge that rips on faux-mystical elf-progisms of '70s stadium rock. At times the songs get a bit too meta (e.g. "He who is groovy must be in my movie"), but quibbling about self-referentiality when it comes to a fake band that calls itself "The Greatest Band on Earth" and who sings that their movie is "better than-uh Citizen Kane-uh" is perhaps to not have much of a sense of humor. --Mike McGonigal More from Tenacious D and Jack Black Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny (Limited Edition) ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JCETDS/ref=ed_mus_6x_td ) Tenacious D ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005QXDD/ref=ed_mus_6x_td ) Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny: The Greatest Movie Tie-In Book in the World ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/1845763017/ref=ed_mus_6x_td ) Tenacious D: The Complete Master Works (DVD) ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000E2FLB/ref=ed_mus_6x_td ) Nacho Libre (DVD) ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000HRO/ref=ed_mus_6x_td ) School of Rock (DVD) ( /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00018U9G6/ref=ed_mus_6x_td )
