Overview Edit

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.

"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. Despite peaking at only #38 in the UK, it has sold over 426,000 copies.

This album is mostly some tight, 3-minute songs intermingled with short comedy skits, all from TenD's HBO specials. The humor is definitely dark and twisted, with lots of nasty words and black situations. I personally love it, and the band certainly shows that they can make some jokes without t…

The "D" definitely has something... Great music, Great Vocals - many joke bands seriously lack quality chops. But for the "Over 25" crowd, who crave more delicious irony and social satire - - an act such as "Hollywood Superstars" would better fit the bill. No disrespect to the "D" - Rock On.
