Modern Music Review
Hard Rock, Comedy Rock
This time we have "Kickapoo" instead of "Tribute" which was the most entertaining song on previous Tenacious D debut. It seems that "Kickapoo" which includes guests such as Meat Loaf, Ronnie James Dio kicks "Tribute"s ass .The fifteen tunes here tell the fictitious story of how Jack Black met Kyle Gass.Like what we used to hear from previous debut, this record
sometimes rocking hard but commonly comic stories! Mostly short cuts and lyrics doesn't pay attention. It's only for fun. It's part of the movie 'The Pick of Destiny' , so it has to stay what it is. Anyhow "Kickapoo", "Car Chase City", "POD" carry their joyful, intense music one step forward. Moreover Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters/Nirvana) gets behind the drum kit for a number of songs.

This soundtrack "The Pick Of Destiny" mostly reminds a demo work with its pocketful short pieces despite its non-stop energy. Hard rock guitar lines are serious but still it's a lollipop which is short and trivial for adults.
MM picks: Kickapoo, POD
Listen: Car Chase City
