Editorial Review:
The Pick of Destiny is the highly anticipated soundtrack to the upcoming New Line Cinema comedy, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny. An epic musical adventure, the film follows Tenacious D (Jack Black and Kyle Gass) on their quest to obtain the Pick and become The Greatest Band on Earth.
Description of The Pick of Destiny:
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

The Pick of Destiny Reviews:
Tenacious D The Pick of Destiny 
2009-12-21 - I love Jack Black but the language is terrible on this CD. It was distracting from the music.
The D is bad aaasssss! 
2009-08-28 - Tenacious D is acoustic rock and roll, heavy metal comedy. This CD soundtrack plays so fast that I just listen to it over and over. A must buy. If you didn't see the movie, "Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny" then get that too.
NEVER GOT IT 
2009-07-10 - I bought this record along with the other Tenacious D album on the same day, but this one I never recieved... so I really can't comment until I got it again... Til then, bad review!
Tenacious D does it again!! 
2009-05-21 - This movie is pretty much a history of how Tenacious D came to be. It is full of great one liners and a couple of great cameos. The dynamic between Jack Black and Kyle Gass is great. It is recommended for anyone who is a fan of The D and also should be seen by anyone who is unfamiliar with the group but enjoys other 2 man novelty acts such as Flight of the Conchords.
a weak effort overall
2008-04-02 - tenacious d is a great band who expertly mix rock and comedy and this soundtrack from their film and the most of the songs are keepers,bit overall this cd doesn't mesh well and alot of the songs get old after awhile and this just isn't their best. but if you liked the movie or their first cd then i reccomend it completely
