Review

As anyone who witnessed their legendary shorts on HBO will attest, Tenacious D is indeed the greatest band on earth. Bad D is still better than the Beatles and good D is transcendent. Even so, Tenacious D's debut album will likely kick fans on their asses because the D is no longer just about JB and KG. They're even ready to be more than a power trio -- they're ready to be backed by a full band, complete with Dave Grohl on drums and the Dust Brothers behind the boards. After years of hearing them as an acoustic heavy metal duo, that's a real shock, but they've also overhauled their repertoire, reworking and retitling several songs and leaving many tunes behind. Most regrettably, there is no "History of Tenacious D," even if it is quoted in the liner notes, but there's also no "Rocketsauce," no "Kyle Took a Bullet for Me," no "Sasquatch," no "Cosmic Shame," no "Special Things," and no "Jesus Ranch." "You Broke the Rules" becomes "Karate," "Song of Exultant Joy" is "Kyle Quit the Band," "Sex Supreme" becomes "Double Team," "The Best Song in the World" becomes "Tribute," lacking many of the "Stairway to Heaven" allusions in this version, and so on and so forth (elements of their opening theme are incorporated into "Kielbasa," thankfully). Furthermore, the dynamic has shifted drastically because the group no longer sounds like maniacal misfits who've conquered the worlds in their own minds playing to an audience who just hasn't caught up yet. Here, they sound like victors who've had their delusions of grandeur come real (which is true when you think about it -- those shorts might not have done much on HBO, but videotapes passed through a lot of hands on the underground video railroad). This is a bigger change than you might think, and while the acoustic D sounds better, weirder, and purer, this still is a hell of a record, particularly because it rocks so damn hard. The worst thing about it are the sketches, which may be funny, but not nearly as funny as the plots that tied the shows together (nothing as funny as asides from the show, like "circle church," either) or the live routines; they tend to distract from the music. And the music is indeed what matters, since no matter how silly and gleefully profane this can be, Tenacious D rules because the music is terrific. The tunes have hooks, Kage and Jables harmonize well, and the cheerfully demented worldview is intoxicating, since their self-belief and self-referential world is delightfully absurd and warm (think about it -- the sex songs may be vulgar and may be about their prowess, but their prowess is about making those backstage Betties feel good). Sure, some listeners may chuckle because this all comes from two large, cute, 30-something slackers, but they're missing the inspirado behind this record -- Tenacious D certainly know they're funny, but that doesn't erase the fact that they rock so hard. They came to kick your ass and rock your socks off, and that is a very special thing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Back cover

Tenacious D is the first studio album by the American satirical rock band Tenacious D, released on September 25, 2001 by Epic Records. The album's polished production was a departure from the band's acoustic origins, due in part to the production of the Dust Brothers. The subject matters of the songs include cannabis use, sexual intercourse and anarchy.

"Tribute" was the first single released from the album, followed by "Wonderboy". Both singles had music videos filmed for them, with the Liam Lynch–directed Tribute video achieving cult status.

While Tenacious D did not achieve chart success after its release, it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America by the end of 2005.[2] Despite peaking at only #38 in the UK, it has sold over 426,000 copies.[3]

Contents

Conception

For their first album, they enlisted the help of drummer Dave Grohl, keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish, guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, and bass player Steven Shane McDonald. The Dust Brothers produced the album. The majority of the songs on their debut album stem from early versions as seen on their HBO TV series, Tenacious D.[4] The record itself does not list the song titles on the back cover as is the convention but instead on the back cover of the jacket; therefore one must open the CD (after presumably buying it) to read them. This is perhaps to allow songs with expletives or words otherwise deemed offensive to escape censorship or omission.

Recording

The recording session for the album began with a two-day session at Neil Diamond's ArcAngel studio in Los Angeles where initial drum tracks were recorded.[5][6] They were able to use the studio because Diamond had just appeared with Black in the film Saving Silverman, in which Black plays a Neil Diamond cover singer.[5] "Diamond claims it was the Liberty Records studio," King says. "It's a really old place."[7] At least one song was cut from the final release of the album. A studio recording of "Jesus Ranch," the final song from the HBO shorts (the closing credits feature the end of "The Road"), was omitted from the album because "it just didn't cut the mustard" (quoted by the D in the FAQ section of their website). The HBO version can be found on their DVD, The Complete Masterworks, and a recorded studio demo can be found on their 2002 EP, D Fun Pak.

Style

The Devil Card.

The front cover features Black and Gass standing naked below the Devil.[8] The pose is similar to that shown on some Devil tarot cards. Due to the Satanic nature of the cover, the album was briefly recalled from stores.[9] The band performed in front of this at concerts.[10]

Critical reception

Tenacious D's first album garnered a variety of reactions from the critics. Entertainment Weekly described the release as being "hilarious," and "no mere comedy record."[11]. Allmusic said it "rocks so damn hard" but it reflects on the lack of some of the songs from the HBO episodes.[12]. Splendid magazine said of Tenacious D, "As entertainment, Tenacious D succeeds surprisingly well - for the first few listens.... The only long-term replay value you'll get from this record will come from playing it for friends who haven't heard it."[13] Flak Magazine criticised the bands use of skits between songs, describing them as "distracting" and a "nuisance".[4] In addition, The Independent remarked that the album was full of "swearing and scatology" and was "bereft of even the slightest skidmark of humour".[14]

Touring

In support of the album, the band embarked on a national tour. All the songs were performed acoustically.[15] The band covered Queen's "Flash" and The Beatles "You Never Give Me Your Money".[15]

Structure

"Tribute", the first single from the album, discusses the "greatest song in the world"[16] written to save the souls of Gass and Black from a demon[17] but later forgotten.[18] The song dropped guitar riffs from Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" which had appeared in early versions.[19] The single, the band's most successful, achieved Tenacious D's only chart top-ten peaking at #4 in Australia.[20] The video, directed by Liam Lynch, was voted by Kerrang! readers as the fifth best music video.[21]

The second single "Wonderboy", a biographical ballad,[22] was critically well-received, with the BBC describing it as "endearing".[23] In 2002, the video, directed by Spike Jonze, won a Music Video Production Association for "Best Direction of a Music Video".[24] The third music video for "Fuck Her Gently", a song described as an "underground hit"[25] and, according to Black, lauded by women's groups[26] depicted an animated Black and Gass as cherubs by John Kricfalusi, the creator of Ren and Stimpy.[27]

The album opens with "Kielbasa", a song discussing anal sex.[14] Dianetics are also mentioned, as well as Krishna.[28] "Dio" is a tribute to Ronnie James Dio that calls for the singer to "pass the torch" on to Tenacious D. Black has said that this was a compliment as they could have asked others for the torch but "ultimately, we were bestowing an honor upon him."[29] Reportedly, Dio approved of the song[30] and let Tenacious D appear in the video for his single, "Push." In addition, Dio also appeared in the 2006 film Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, playing himself. "Explosivo", a song originally intended as a tribute to Kurt Cobain.[31]

Seven of the tracks on the album are comedy skits: "One Note Song",[28] "Hard Fucking", "Inward Singing",[28] "Cock Pushups", "Friendship Test",[28] "Karate Schnitzel" and "Drive-Thru".[32]

Tenacious D performing "Tribute"
Tenacious D performing "Double Team" as an encore

"Double Team" is another song on the topic of sex, in particular threesomes.[14] "The Road" deals with groupies whilst touring.[33] "Lee", named after their "no 1 fan"[25] Lee, is a song from the short "The Fan", in which the band stalk their biggest fan, and sing an obsessive song about him.[34] "Karate" is described as an aggressive song [33] taken from the short "Angel in Disguise" in which Black and Gass fight.[35] The song ends with Black saying the words 'eat donkey crap' in reverse audio. "Kyle Quit The Band", from "The Search for Inspirado", is a song which documents the band reuniting after breaking up.[35]

"Rock Your Socks" with Tenacious D's desire to prove its classical and rock prowess through giving "a taste" of Bach's Bourrée in E minor from Suite in E minor for Lute, BWV 996, also used in another of Tenacious D song - "Classico." ("That is Bach and it rocks..."), popularized by one of the most famous classical guitarists: Andrés Segovia and prog rock band, Jethro Tull. The song features a shock comedy climax when lead singer Jack Black asks for the listener, in return for their troubles in playing to them, to perform a coprophilic ritual.

"Friendship" talks of Black and Gass' relationship.[33] They sing of friendship being "rare".[36]

In "City Hall", the longest song on the album - described as epic[37] - lead singer Black calls for the legalisation of cannabis.[38] The song is described by the band, and others[39] as a rock opera.

Some critics have lamented that songs performed live and featured on the TV series were not included on the album.[40] These include "Jesus Ranch" and "Cosmic Shame".[40][41] Black accounted for the band's decision not to include "Jesus Ranch" saying "it just didn't cut the mustard".[42] Both songs were later released on the D Fun Pak.
