Signaling in a three star review by New Noise Magazine, Nathaniel Lay states, "Midwest Modesty probably doesn’t beat out the Before Their Eyes debut for most fans (no surprise there), but it could very well become the runner-up in the band’s discography. It’s well written, tight, and (for the most part) organized in a successful flow."[2] Kevin Hoskins, indicating in a four and a half star review at Jesus Freak Hideout, writes, "So what does Midwest Modesty have in store? Simply put, it's an album that all current BTE fans and hard rock lovers will deeply appreciate."[1]

gollark: If you count "everyone who died but could technically have been saved with more resources given to them", then... well, that is an unreasonable assignment of blame.
gollark: What do you mean "killed over a billion people"?
gollark: You could argue that some of the riches thing is due to stuff other than economic system.
gollark: I also don't think central planning works very well at allocating resources vaguely towards what people actually want.
gollark: Authoritarian systems tend to lead to a lot of inequality too, which you seem to dislike.
