Man Must Die's first album 'The Human Condition' was a disappointment for me. Though talented, MMD seemed to be a band not sure of who they were or what they did well. On 'No Tolerance for Ignorance' MMD is very sure of who they are and what they do well, and what they do well is Death Metal. The songs are so much more interesting and enjoyable on this album. Brutal death metal for the most part with a bit of thrash and a little bit of deathcore mixed in. If you are a fan of most any style of death metal, I think you will find a lot on this album to enjoy.

Wow, after hearing all the great things about this band I decided to pick this up and after hearing this promptly went about ordering their back catalog. This guys play some super brutal death metal, that has some technicality to it. Amazingly talented and surprisingly above avg lyrics. I think the band comes from Scotland. Well whatever they're drinking over there, keep it up, 'cause this is some raging death metal. Really the hype surrounding this release is on the money. Plenty of blast beats, heavy chugging guitars, vocals that are deep, yet understandable. The cd cover does look quite similar to All Shall Perish's-'Price of Existence', who by the way, the band is a little influenced by, but that's a good thing. If you want some super brutal death metal, that has some originallity I urge you to give this a try. It will blast all posers faces off from 1000 miles away!!

They have a good mix of everything and they never have a weak moment. This album is metal to the extreme and just like I enjoy it. Death vocals that are understandable, heavy chugging, enough melody, solo's, and vicious drums. I love listening to the drum patterns. This guy plays with intensity but mixes it up enough to keep it interesting. He goes crazy sometimes but restrains himself when needed. The drumming in my opinion is the best part of the album, though it all is top notch. You can tell these guys are having fun when they play. The sound mix is just the right mix of "organic" and "synthetic" that really makes the CD better. I can't say it enough, they are good. They also have something real to say. The lyrics are in your face and he tells you exactly what he is thinking. NO cryptic lyrics open for interpretation or hidden meanings. What he sings about the title track "No Tolerance for Imperfection" are exactly the things I hate in the world and exactly why I am the way I am. This album is straight anger fueled through a wall of sound. If you like bands like Nile, Bloodbath, Decapitated, Behemoth, and Kataklysm, you like this. Oh, and did I mention the drums?

As stated in the title, I am not a big fan of this genre of metal - but I love this cd much more than I thought I would. I heard "Kill It, Skin It, Wear It" on Sirius' Liquid Metal channel and I was impressed by the precision of the guitar and bass drums. Even the singing is a cut above what most extreme metal bands deliver and overall the band just has a sound that is crushing and tight, but with enough melody to make it more listenable. The first few listens were ok, and the next thing I knew - I was playing it nonstop and loving it more each time - so give yourself a chance to warm up to it if it comes across as too intense at first. My favorite song is "It Comes in Threes" which has a brutal guitar tone to go with a solid chorus, and also features some neat bass drum patterns. The best part of that song is that it doesn't have any blast beats (which is one of the things I hate about some death metal bands) and that makes the song that much better. These guys also have some cool videos on youtube that show them in the studio, so check them out!

...skin it, wear it! good, tight, death metal. nice production. there is a nice blend of speed and chug. i was worried that it was going to be all blast beats, but they, thankfully, don't do that. they seem to have actual messages in most of the songs too, which i find refreshing. overall, i am really enjoying this whole album, everyone plays very well here, lots of catchy riffs, lots of cool drumming, lots of solid death metal vocals. not too sure about their last one, but i am definitely watching for their next one.
