Kage and Jables return mightily with The Rize of the Fenix, an album which—at its finest—mirrors the transcendence of their early days.

No joke: Rize Of The Fenix is one of the year’s most enjoyable hard-rock records.

All in all, it delivers the chuckles and a few guffaws, even if they are hitting up against the law of diminishing returns.

Rize of the Fenix proves that Tenacious D still reign supreme. But maybe only burrito or chicken supreme and not quite Cutlass Supreme this time out.

Tenacious D’s album number three fails to capture the comic energy of the band’s prior musical output and pales in comparison to other, much funnier rock music moments by the band’s contemporaries.
While it might not be as funny as previous records, it's songs are better constructed and much catchier then ever before. The skits have been refined, and the bands musical talents are honed to make most of these songs genuinely quite great. It's a strange record to say the very lest, but it's great in all of it's oddness.

fails to capture the charm and comedy of the band as well as their debut. however there is a large handful of super fun tracks on this record :)
I'm not a big fan of the closer but I genuinely really like every other song. Also way fewer skits than their first which is a plus for me. Jack Black's vocal range makes me feel insecure.
