Critical reception edit
The soundtrack reviews were less favourable than for the band's first album. Rolling Stone comments that the soundtrack "never quite takes off".[1] It criticises the reliance the album makes on a knowledge of the film, and some songs' existence only to "advance the plot".[1] It summarises by saying the album is inferior to the band's previous effort.[1] Allmusic also describes the follow-up as less "satisfying" than Tenacious D, noting that the songs feel like "narrative filler".[2] Blender continues the criticism of the songs being plot devices calling them "plot-nudging song-sketches".[3] The Guardian views the album more positively, describing the album as a meeting "old school riffology" and "schoolboy humour".[4]
