REVIEW

The Pick of Destiny is a movie soundtrack doubling as a sophomore rock album, much as Jack Black is a rocker doubling as a movie star. Unfortunately though, Jack Black is just not good enough to have his cake and eat it. Make no mistake, this effort is testament to the talent of the comedic rock duo Tenacious D (Jack Black and Kyle Gass) – it is dastardly difficult to sound good and make (some) people laugh – but this album is more “picture” music and works better as a soundtrack.

Very coarse language aside, Jack Black uses his magically expressive voice and terribly politically incorrect lyrics to shed light on his humble beginnings and illustrate the formation of his rock band. With Nirvana/Foo Fighter Dave Grohl at the drums and playing the devil, the music is loud and good.

The D is probably spot-on with the album length as well. With only two tracks managing to exceed the 3 minute mark, the listener is properly tickled but not overdosed with the D’s audacious music and vulgar lines. After all, the f-word and cocks and tits can only be funny for this long. Now it’s time for Jack Black and Kyle Gass to make some really funny listening music.
