Generally speaking, Take It Like a Man (yeah....) is an upgrade from neo-thrash/heavy metal outfit Butcher Babies' first studio album, although it's only a minor improvement. If you turn the depression zone that is your brain off, BB's second full-length offering is actually a barrel of enjoyment. Take out lead single "Monster's Ball," "Dead Man Walking," and "Blonde Girls All Look the Same" and you've got an admirable effort in spite of a fair amount of repetition compositionally speaking to go along with uninspired lyricism.
