"They’re certainly on the path to awesomeness."
It's the musical versatility of The Axis Of Awesome which lifts them above other similar acts, and was certainly much more effective in their own performance than the between-song banter. They gave old favourites a workout and threw a few new ones into the mix, utilising the music to perfectly complement their humour. At times it was through recognition (the point of their YouTube classic 4 Chords), whilst other times it was the theme (the inability to dance to dubstep). They're certainly on the path to awesomeness.
