...If you want to listen to an album before going out to a party, this will get you rocking and rolling out the door. The songs are funny and full of adrenaline, gusto and hearts of rock. Tenacious D have never taken themselves that seriously and this album doesnt change this attitude, but its fun and will make you laugh before going out. The song which gives the album its title 'pick of destiny' is brilliant as well as 'the government totally sucks' which has excellent harmony! 'Beezleboss', will get you up for a party and Jack Blacks songs 'kickapoo' and 'classical' are hilariously random! You don't have to have seen the film which is a great advantage for me because I havent seen it, but I loved school rock of rock! You will be singing along to the song 'History' and smiling afterwards, it is funny and its good to have artists these days...

What is Hardcore?
For those of you whom quite like dance music as a whole but don't quite know what makes hardcore different to other types of dance music, for instance the music featured in Clubland 14 & 'The annual', I will give a brief introduction.
Hardcore has a faster and heavier sounding beat. The beat usually stays very steady throughout the entire track...

Advantages: all the best songs, killer solos, 90+ minutes Disadvantages: none of the more recent songs
...the best intro to any song in Hell Awaits. They then move into such classics as War Ensemble, South of Heaven and Dead Skin Mask. Some songs are introduced with Tom's usual banter: "i wanna tell you bout a man named ED" (Dead Skin Mask).
The second CD featured some of Slayer older songs. But dont get me wrong, they arent any less amazing than the ones on the first CD. They are just more for your die hard Slayer fan. However, some little gems are left behind for this CD like Blood Red and Chemical Warfare.
All in all this double whammy is 90-odd minutes of head crushing bliss! You will marvel in the skill of King and Hanneman in pulling off the solos to every song almost identical to the way they are on the album. If this doesnt get the adrenalin pumping nothing will!!...
