BAND BACKROUND
Jack Black and Kyle Gass started out as rival musicians, but decided to form together and make a band called Tenacious D. They played their first debut song "Tribute" in a bar in L.A. A Couple months later, when they were playing in a different bar, a man who worked with a record company (Epic Records)heard their heavenly music and well, you can guess what happened after that. Since then, the two have been rocking out every day at Kyle's apartment.
OVERVIEW
This CD is a mix of rock and acoustic songs and a couple of tracks where they just talk. It's not like you standard Adam Sandler-type CD, it's much much more than that. Maybe you've heard their hit songs "Tribute" or "Wonderboy" but if you haven't, then I highly suggest this CD to anyone who wants to laugh, and hear some awsome songs at the same time. My personel favorites are "Friendship, City Hall, and Kyle Quit the Band". One of the reasons I like this CD so much is because they sing about things in daily life that you can relate to, such as friendship, fighting with your friend, and what certain someone ate your labled food out of the fridge. Although it has exsessive swearing, the music really makes up for it, although I'm not a big fan of the track where they just talk. When I first picked this CD up, I thought the singer (Jack Black) would have a bad singing voice that shouldn't be on a CD (ex. Tom Green) but I bought it anyway cause' I'm a big fan of Jack Black. I was very suprised to find that Jack had a really good singing voice. And the songs weren't just two chords in the backround or someone singing to a keyboard demo, it had VERY good acoustics and rock and is different from anything I've ever heard in my 13 years of livin'.
I've been listening songs from this CD before it came out (downloaded) I listen to it every day and I still think it rocks. Plus they're really good live.
MY RATING: 5/5 (it's that good) :thumb:
