About the album

The album was featured on the Billboard 200 and the Canadian Albums Chart at number 4, and first hit the UK's Top 10 Albums Chart at number 9. The album was also Beck's best result in Australia , reaching 13th place. In the first week, 84 thousand copies of the album were sold in the United States , although this did not correspond to success, since the last album, The Information , was sold in a circulation of 99 thousand copies at the same time. ^[20] In Canada, the album sold over 6,000 copies in its first week. ^[20] ^[21]

The album received many positive reviews after the release, earning a rating of 77 out of 100 with Metacritic . ^[1] Allmusic said it was "an effective dose of 21st century paranoia." ^[2] There were some negative reviews, for example, PopMatters stated that the album lacked unique resonating tones, ^[9] and The Guardian called it a “vanity project”. ^[5] In December 2008, Modern Guilt was nominated for the Best Alternative Album Award at the 51st Grammy Awards , but Radiohead with In Rainbows was the winners. ^[22]
