The Musiquarium’s Post-Apocalypto Review Score: 6.5 out of 10

For my money, the 2006 cult classic, Tenacious D & The Pick Of Destiny, is one of the greatest music comedies of all time, though I cannot say that same for the Post-Apocalypto cartoon that this album is the soundtrack to.

Using a series of still images with audio, Post-Apocalypto is barely even a cartoon, and the soundtrack to it has barely any music. At just about 30 minutes, it’s the duo’s shortest album to date, and about one third of that is dedicated to skits. Despite all this, I still had an amusing time.

MAKING LOVE is a smutty spiritual successor to dirty D classic like Fuck Her Gently and Double Team. DADDY DING DONG and WOMAN TIME are metal romps and two of the duo’s heaviest songs to date. JB JR RAP is quite comical, and has Jack Black rapping on it.

I can’t give Post-Apocalypto too much credit, as it’s clearly underdeveloped and lacking in scope, but it still provided some terrific new songs for the Tenacious D canon.
