boygenius - The Record (March 31, 2023) • Page 27

Yea I ordered through target (I think for the first time ever) and no word yet on a shipment.

 

my experience with preordering the new Paramore through Target is they don't ship until it's out. I also preordered a book at B&N and saw it in the store before it even arrived to my house. (I didn't preorder the new FOB, kinda forgot when it was coming out and just nabbed it when I spotted it yesterday hah)

 

FINALLY release week. Been holding off listening to the first 3 released for weeks and didn't listen to the 4th released song. Cannot wait for Thursday/Friday!

 

A few other early reviews are out too:

Premature Evaluation: boygenius 'the record'

Boygenius - the record - Northern Transmissions

and I would be shocked if this did not get Best New Music from Pitchfork (but you never know with them haha)

 

Am I reading that RS review correctly? One of the songs samples This Love by Taylor Swift?!?!?

 

For those without access to the article:

 

a top tier Taylor song

Can’t wait

 

Remember when records got released on Tuesdays instead of Fridays? Damn

 

seems so weird now!

 

I’m friggin jonesing for this record

 

I kinda miss the Tuesday release

 

When it happened earlier this year in February I was very thrown off.

 

NME calls this record an “instant classic”

Boygenius - 'The Record' review: the instant classic we were hoping for

 

A cool thing about going to the listening party is you get a nifty wristband. Also, I doubt they’re coming to my area anytime soon, so this is the closest I’m gonna get.

 

Wonder when they start shipping out preorders lol

 

I'm still on the fence on going to Shuga Logan Square tomorrow for this.

Any of y'all Chicago locals considering it?

 

There’s 5 solid record stores in my city and 0 listening parties :(

 

Me but idk if it’s worth it. I do REALLY want to hear this record though.

 

That’s how I feel. I could sit at the bar and relax or I could go and deal with the crowd that’ll be at this.

 

It’s going to be a long week waiting for this.

 

Looks like more headlining dates are coming, unrelated to the Re:SET Concert Series.
