I just bought two K-Pop albums & I'm really excited about it


Recommended Posts

I know most people don't really buy CDs nowadays, and I haven't bought one in years myself. I think the last time I bought a CD was back in 2012, and it was Marilyn Manson's "Born Villain", which, come to think of it, is super random. :slowdown: However, if it's worth buying any CDs, it's definitely K-Pop CDs because they truly are collectables. They're super elaborate and come with a lot of freebies. They're a bit more expensive, but, IMO, they're worth it. Plus, I've been a fan of K-Pop for over two years now, but I still hadn't bought a K-Pop album until now. :indulge: Most K-Pop albums come in 2 (if not 3 or 4) different versions that have different packaging and other things that set them apart. Obviously, there's the CD itself, but then in addition to that you also get a photobook (I've seen some that are 100 pages thick), photocards (there's usually a set of 30ish available ones, and albums typically come with about 3 of them) and some other freebies such as stickers, posters, postcards, etc. :forkit: If Western artists were as elaborate, I'd totally buy CDs more often. :ohmygawd: I spent $40, which is kind of steep for two albums, but in order to get free shipping (otherwise shipping would be like $40) my cart had to hit the $39 mark, so I ended up getting two. Had I gotten only one album, the shipping would cost three times the price of the album itself, which is super unreasonable. :ohwut: I ended up getting these two albums (yes, I do realize that none of this means anything to any of you :inbed:):

APRIL "Da Capo" & TAEYEON "Purpose"

Both of these albums come in two versions, but they offer the option to buy a random one, which I selected because, IMO, it's much more fun that way. :gagasmile: Anyway, if any of you are interested in seeing how elaborate K-Pop albums are, here's an unboxing of one of them:

This album, for example, comes in 3 different versions, but I've seen some that come in 5. :ohdear: So yeah, I'm super excited. It's a shame that I'll probably have to wait for 3 weeks or something for this stuff to arrive - I'm very impatient. :donewithit:

Omg I haven't bought a K-Pop album in a looong time. My last was The Boys, i'm not sure. :yesokay:

Well... I bought Queen Taeyeon's album, so I'm supporting legends here as well. :gagasmile: Good thing I didn't buy "My Voice" - otherwise Myah would be getting some of that coin. :inbed: IMO, SNSD's Japanese discography is better than their domestic one. HOWEVER, "The Boys" is a great album, and "Lazy Girl" is THAT song for me from said album. :tysm:

nope, I didn't even get a digital copy :inbed: the only Britney album I've ever bought is "The Singles Collection", and it's her best one, so I'm not even mad about it :gagasmile: I bought mine from yesasia.com :mhm: there are a lot of other websites, but I'm not sure if they offer free shipping (this one does on orders above $39 if all the items are eligible for free shipping) :useeinthis:

You really should get back into K-Pop. IMO, the music is the best it's ever been. Mindless bops upon mindless bops. We love to see it. :whiteladydance:

I still would love to own MADE by BIGBANG. That album is a classic and absolutely perfect (minus "Girlfriend", which is a b-side or a filler compared to the rest of the tracks).

I've never really listened to any of BIGBANG's music (minus their most iconic title tracks, obviously), but I probably should because they're freakin' legends (minus Seungri, of course) :mhm:
