What's that? Sure, let me read them to you. Cronos of Venom performs on "Centuries of Sin," Max Cavalera of Soulfly and Sepultra sings on "Red War," "Shake Your Blood" gets treated by Lemmy of Motorhead. Mike Dead of C.O.C., Kurt Brecht of D.R.I., and Lee Dorrian of Cathedral and Napalm Death, do "Access Babylon," "Silent Spring," and "Ice Cold Man" respectively. Wino of The Hidden Hand and Place of Skulls and The Obsessed lends his talent to "The Emerald Law" while "Big Sky" gets a helping hand from Tom G. Warrior of Apollyon Sun and Celtic Frost. "Dictatosaurus" gets sung by Snake of Voivod, and Eric Wagner of Trouble performs on "My Tourtured Soul." Last but not least, King Diamond of Mercyful Fate graces "Sweet Dreams." Rumor even has it that there is a hidden track that features Mr. School of Rock himself, Jack Black.

It really is asombroso how well these tracks flow with the different vocalists. Grohl wrote and performed the music, then shipped the instrumental track to the vocalist, who then wrote lyrics and recorded the vocals. It somehow acoplamientos really well from track to track without feeling like a compilation. What's that you say? You'll give it a try? I don't know. It may be too intenso for a Foo fan like yourself. OK, you're right. You are in charge of your order. I'll bring it right out to you. Goce su comida! Oh! And would you enjoy a drink with that?

I'm going for more of the feel of a duo language conversation than a correct one. I hope the Spanish speaking among us are not offended.]

The stuff kills actually. Even the Jack Black track (althought I think the Tom G. Warrior track kinda blows). This however is not for the feint of heart. Funny thing is though, you can hear bits and pieces of old school thrash and metal in the Foos if you listen closely. Everything he's done in the last couple years from Queens of the Stone Age to the latest Killing Joke really rips. He's clearly on a roll.
