Phil Freeman reviewed Before Ever After in The Wire 372: " Blind Idiot God’s initial trilogy of releases – 1987’s self-titled debut on SST, 1989’s Undertow on Enemy, and 1992’s Cyclotron on John Zorn’s Japanese Avant imprint – roped off a unique territory. The force of the avant metal workouts that made up most of their output was countered by the deep, ominous dub they conjured on a few tracks per album. Guitarist Andy Hawkins, bassist Gabe Katz and drummer Ted Epstein created a high volume, crushingly dense sound that sought to bludgeon, without the pyrotechnic eruptions of metal. Hawkins’s guitar tone was oceanic; it was like being swept under by a tidal wave... It still is. Before Ever After, a 13 track, 75 minute opus on which Epstein has been replaced by Tim Wyskida, formerly of Khanate, may be slightly less organic in feel than previous efforts, but it’s every bit as heavy."
