Serving as a soundtrack to their new movie "The Pick of Destiny," Jack Black and Kyle Gass have given Tenacious D fans something new, and while not as classic as their self-titled album, this album still serves its purpose as a great rock comedy album.As a whole, the album attempts to portray the movie's plot through the music. If you listen before seeing the film, the story is a little confusing. It feels like some of the fluidity between tracks was lost through the need to construct a story in the album. Another problem is that most of the tracks are short, on average between one and three minutes, leaving the album's development feeling scattered and thrown together.Black's vocals, which are animated and lively, jump out through the music and create the album's mood. His choice of lyrics and the theatrical manner in which he sings makes for catchy and hilarious tracks. The music behind Black is well polished and easy to listen to. With his sidekick Gass on guitar and David Grohl on the drums, it seems that the goal was to build the music around the lyrics only to support Black. Without his humor, the band would just sound like general rock, which is part of the joke."Kickapoo" opens the album with Black singing accompanied by guitar. It unfolds into a rock epic. The song develops and gives a clear beginning to the story. Meatloaf guest stars on the track as Black's father who bans rock music from his house and pressures his son to subscribe to Jesus. Black then travels to Hollywood to find his destiny. Ronnie James Dio is also in the song at the end, seeming to be Black's guardian angel or his conscience. This serves as a great opener for the album, offering changes of pace, and most importantly, it's funny."POD," short for Pick of Destiny, is the first single off the album. Lyrically, it is a collage of the events though the movie and possibly was written to familiarize people with the storyline. While mostly promotional, it isn't one of the funniest tracks on the album.A highlight of the album is the song "The Government Totally Sucks." The song is satirical to other rock protest songs because it is obviously written in the most blatant and in-your-face way. The song is straight to the point with its catchy chorus and generalities in the lyrics, which complain about the government messing up the environment and say that we should all come together to bring back the United States of America. In this track, the joke really comes through.Another great point in the album is the song "Papagenu (He's My Sassafrass)," which gives a warm, Jethro Tull-like, feel good melody played with a recorder. The song is about a yeti that becomes Black's father. The song changes pace at the end and sounded a lot like the song "Kielbasa" from their self-titled album.Overall, this is only an album that a true Tenacious D fan can appreciate. While not a solid album in its entirety, it does offer enough substance to keep the listener involved.
