Rize of the Fenix is the third studio album by American comedy rock band Tenacious D. Produced by John Kimbrough, it was released in North America on May 15, 2012 by Columbia Records. In addition to core members Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the album also marks the return of John Konesky (electric guitar), John Spiker (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums), who have performed on previous Tenacious D albums.
Background and recording
In November, 2006, Jack Black expressed wishes to take a year-long break from acting, though Kyle Gass hinted a desire for Tenacious D to end at their current highpoint.[1] However, Black confirmed that a third album would be recorded by announcing that a new song has been written for it entitled "Deth Starr". He said that the album would likely be released in 2010,[2] but on other occasions he has mentioned the year 2012.[3][4] In early 2008, Black announced that the band was working on a new album, Kyle later commented that the new album only has "one to one and a half" songs written for it, and would like to write between twelve and fifteen.[5]
Music magazine Billboard quoted Black as revealing that "We just laid down a hot [...] we're calling it the bomb track. It's a very powerful recording called "Deth Starr" [...] so it has nothing to do with the Star Wars [Death Star]," adding that "It's kind of sci-fi, doomsday rock."[6] Black also stated on David Letterman that he had an idea for a song called "Rise of the Phoenix", which he described as a "rise from the ashes" workout song similar to "Eye of the Tiger". He performed a vocal sample of the song along to keyboards. Gass at one point hinted that the band's third album may be called Tenacious D 3-D, reasoning that "It's the third record, so it should probably be 'Tenacious 3-D.' There's going to be a '3' and a 'D,' so you have to connect them."[7] Dave Grohl has confirmed that he will appear as the drummer on the album, after performing on both Tenacious D and The Pick of Destiny.[8] In an interview with Spinner.com in December 2010, Black revealed that the band was "about halfway through the writing process" for its new album, telling fans to expect the release of new material "at the end of 2011".[9] In terms of lyrical themes for the new songs, Black noted that "We're gonna be talking about love, there are gonna be some songs about sex and there's gonna be songs about food".[9]
In a May 2011 interview at Attack of the Show, Black announced that three songs on their upcoming album would be named "Rize of the Fenix", distinguishable by either letter or number.[10] Also in the same interview, he named another song called "Señorita". John Konesky has estimated that the new album will come out "in spring 2012".[11]
Release and promotion
In February 2012 it was revealed that the title of the album would in fact be spelled Rize of the Fenix and was released on May 15, 2012.[12][13]
A music video for "To Be the Best" was released on The A.V. Club on March 26, 2012.[14] It guest stars Maria Menounos, Tim Robbins, Val Kilmer, Jimmy Kimmel, Dave Grohl, Yoshiki, and Josh Groban.[15] On April 18, 2012 a video was released on the TenaciousDSME YouTube channel titled 'Where Have We Been'.
The iTunes pre-order bonus track "5 Needs" was originally performed by Tenacious D in their cameo in the 1996 film Bio-Dome.
The band released the album on April 28, 2012, sans bonus tracks, on their Soundcloud account.
On their album website www.rizeofthefenix.com the band posted the entire album to stream to counteract the leaking of the music video for "Rize of the Fenix". This was promoted by their Facebook page. The video was released officially for free on May 1 as an iTunes download.
Prior to the album's release, the duo appeared on the Nerdist Podcast, episode 194; they played "Be The Best" and "Roadie" from the album, as well as "Double Team" from their first album and the Star Trek theme, a staple of their live shows.
The next Tenacious D music video was for "Roadie", released on May 8 via Funny or Die.[16] The video featured Danny McBride as the Roadie.
The band exclusively released a track-by-track commentary of the album on Spotify.[17]
The fourth music video to be released was for "Low Hangin' Fruit" on May 17, 2012.[18]
Reception
Commercial performance
On 16 May 2012, The Official Charts Company in UK reported in a mid-week chart update that the album took an early lead over last week’s Number 1, Keane's Strangeland, which fell into second place. [19] However, by the end of the week, Keane's album overtook them and Rize Of The Fenix debuted at number two in the Top 40 UK Albums Chart with under 16,000 sales.[20] Yet, the album topped the UK Rock Chart and UK Download Chart.[21][22] The album also debuted at number ten in the UK Record Store Top 40 Chart.[23]
On 18 May 2012, in a mid-week chart update in the US, the Billboard reported that Rize Of The Fenix stands on the third place with an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 units shifted, only behind Adam Lambert's Trespassing and Adele's 21 respectively, according to Nielsen SoundScan.[24]
In other countries, Rize Of The Fenix debuted at number 16 in Dutch Albums Chart and number 68 in Belgian Albums Chart.[25][26]

Upon its release, Rize Of The Fenix received generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics with an aggregate score of 60/100 on Metacritic, based on 9 reviews.[29]
Rick Florino of Artistdirect gave the album 5 out of 5 stars and said that the album is "not only the D's best album, but it's also one of the best of 2012".[30] Gaz Martinez of Noise Addiction rated the album 5 out of 5 stars and pointed out that "Rize of the Fenix is by far their most accomplished work".[30] Mark Harris of upstart Magazine commended the production quality, saying it was "the most tightly composed material the duo has ever created". Harris pointed out that the duo's maturity as performers was showing, noting that although it made their material less crass, it allowed them to stray from being a "one punchline joke".[31] Both Metal Album Reviews and The Toonari Post gave the album 4½ out of 5 stars, with Veronica Cinti of The Toonari Post calling it the band's best work yet "with a sound that is completely mature, and an attitude that never matured instead". [32][33] Callum Thomson of Hit The Floor magazine gave the album a 9/10 and said that "it’s everything you should expect from these two masters of comedic music by now".[34] Steven Hyden from A.V. Club gave the album a B+ and concluded with "No joke: Rize Of The Fenix is one of the year’s most enjoyable hard-rock records." As of May, the community grade by users is B+.[35] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic gave a score of 4 out of 5 stars and said "Rize of the Fenix does amount to a rousing comeback for Tenacious D: they're back to their old tricks, oblivious to whether the world at large actually cares about their shenanigans".[36] Brandon East from Ultimate Guitar Archive gave an 8/10 and praised Jack Black's vocals by saying "Black's vocals are unmistakable – opera-like and very theatrical. If Jack Black's vocals could be compared to anyone it would be Dio – though Jack definitely has his own character in his voice." Despite finding some of their lyrics cheesy and regarded them as the low point of the album, albeit still hilarious, the overall consensus was that "the album is better than The Pick Of Destiny and at least as good as their self-titled debut."[37] Ryan Reed from Paste magazine gave the album an 8.3/10 and praised a number of songs, such as the title song for being "so powerful, so perfect, so representative of what these guys do well" and “The Ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage” for being "another classic" which "could be taken at face-value as a legitimate betrayal-redemption story", although mentioning that the writing style for the other songs "seems to suggest the assistance of a computer-based Rock Generator, with tunes that feel more like templates".[38] Mike Gencarelli of Media Mikes who gave it 4 out of 5 stars compared it to be [as good] as the first album by saying "If you put the first album and this one on random, I would have a hard time distinguishing the two if I never heard them before" and that "overall the D has never broken any musical standards but it is just a really fun 45 minutes".[39] Gears Of Rock gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said "Rize of the Fenix is yet another crude, classic, and brilliant record" and that "the album is their most diverse yet and rivals their 2001 debut".[40] The Silver Tongue gave 4 out of 5 stars and claimed that "despite Black’s cries of the band’s ‘fiery champion’ hearts and ‘riding on mighty steeds’, no one was honestly was asking for – or expecting – a masterpiece" and "as long as you have a sense of humour, and are willing to view the album as parody, this is the sort of sound you don’t really get tired of listening to".[41]
The Under The Gun Review website gave 8/10 and explained that "they won their genre with this release" and that "it’s funny, musically thought out, and just a great listen".[42] Times-Standard wrote a favourable review by saying "The album is worth the money for those who are not easily offended. While their destiny for fame as the world's best comedy-rockers seemed picked off by their sophomore LP, “Rize to the Fenix” soars sky high. The D is indeed back."[43] Likewise, Seattle Post-Intelligencer gave another favourable review and eventually said "Regardless of what the future holds, Rize of the Fenix is a splendid addition to their small but potent discography".[44] Halie Williams from The Lantern magazine gave it a B+ and went to say that "as a true fan of its self-titled album and 2006 album and film “Pick of Destiny,” I wouldn’t say this is its best work, but it’s certainly a humorous listen".[45] Both the Rock-Regeneration website and The Morton Report gave the album very favourable reviews with Rock-Generation explaining that "some will say that this album was the final straw for Tenacious D", although "this is only the beginning of a new chapter for them", and with Chazz Lip from The Morton Report that "after a six year break, JB and KG return to rock your socks off" and that "Rize of the Fenix will make a great soundtrack for the summer of 2012". Chazz also went to say that "the D wield a similar type of power, and just like the Marx Brothers they may not be for everyone".[46][47] Moreover, Christina Benneworth of Backstagepass.biz gave a similar favourable review by saying "A good come back for Tenacious D" with "comical lyrics and amazing music".[48] The Northern Echo newspaper gave a score of 4 out 5 stars and said that "fans will love [the album] here".[46] Zach Redrup of Dead Press gave a rating of 8 out of 10 stars and said "Tenacious D are still the band who once wrote the best song in the world, forgot about it, and remembered it again when confronting Satan himself".[49]
[&].com gave the album a score of 7.5/10 and said that "the album is not as bad" as he first thought in the first place but "the majority of songs were average". However, as of May, the user score stands at 9.2/10 based on 10 votes.[50] Toro magazine gave a score of 3½ out of 5 stars and said "Like The D’s best work of yore, it should earn spins well after the laughs have worn off".[51] The AM New York magazine gave it 3 out of 5 stars and called “The Ballad of Hollywood Jack and the Rage Kage” song as "the finest self-referential ballad since the Beatles' The Ballad of John and Yoko".[52] Scott Heisel of Alternative Press gave it 3 out of 5 stars as well by concluding that "Fenix is loaded with classic-rock-aping material which simultaneously admires and lampoons everything from Star Wars ("Deth Starr") to organized religion ("Throwdown")", but "the humor practiced by Black and cohort Kyle Gass hasn't evolved much since [2006's Pick Of Destiny]".[53] Moreover, Consequence of Sound gave a score of 3 out of 5 stars and said that "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".[54] Similarly, Culture Tease gave it a 6/10 by saying that the album "has brief hints of pure pop/rock perfection, sat uncomfortably between driveling songs that never quite stick" and that they have "improved dramatically here from their previous efforts", but "the D is really only successful in sporadic bursts, and even over 40 minutes their just tiresome as hell."[55] As well, Spin magazine gave it 6/10 and said "The satire is worn thin in the Rock of Ages era, but duo still slays the Darkness' harmonies.".[56] Blurt gave an identical score of 6/10 and went to say "Yet another viciously fun balls-out rocker of an album".[57]
Maura Johnstone from Rolling Stone gave the album 2 out of 5 stars and viewed it as "so bombastic you wonder if Black and Gass have finally turned into the overblown wanksters they parody" and reproached that "too many of its gags sound like they've been festering since the Pick of Destiny days". On the other hand, the community gave it an aggregated score of 4 out of 5 stars.[58] August Brown from the Los Angeles Times gave it 2½ out of 5 stars and saying "When sincere rock music is DOA on the charts, is it too late to wonder whether the D is the genre’s last true defender?".[59] Dominic Hemy from The Digital Fix called the album "the same old joke that no one else is laughing at any more; once was quite funny, second time around wearing a little thin". He also went to say that "Tenacious D are a waste of space that have long since lost any appeal" and ultimately gave the album a 3/10.[60] Kirk Baird of Las Vegas Weekly gave an unfavourable review by saying "Rize of the Fenix plays like warmed-over D, far from 2001’s brilliant self-titled debut. It begs the question of the duo’s resurrection: Why can’t some things just stay dead?".[61] Thomas Britt from Pop Matters gave the lowest review with a score of 2/10 by saying "Rize of the Fenix reveals a Tenacious D that has fallen behind its musical peers" and "in fact, the most frustrating thing about Rize of the Fenix is that it pretends Tenacious D’s previous release (2008’s The Complete Master Works 2 DVD) doesn’t exist".[62]
