Although they use a different face, user Tamlen gave a great breakdown for some feature changes in another thread, that appear to apply to many of the male Midlander faces and which might be a part of what's affecting his impression (Benchmark version on the right):

Here's another picture of the same face, both using nose 6- before and after 7.0's changes.

Some races have a nose that was taller before and gets noticeably shorter after, or the opposite issue of this image.
The epicanthal fold change is particularly very noticeable on most male Midlander faces to me. That, along with the change of either where their eyelid rests, or the position of their pupil, gives them a more "vacant" feeling expression all around. The new rigging has also been reported to be buggy in many places.

They point out even further details on their own post, such as the eyelash changes and details for other races, but I did not want to force too much of this user's personal voice on a thread they are not involved in of their own accord. Though I think their detailing is very beneficial.

If this appears to be out of etiquette for the forums, I apologize and will delete this post. In spite of how often I've been posting lately, I'm still quite unused to these things, haha.
