If you read my review of SHINee Story of Light EP.1, you would know that I really enjoyed the album, and that I am very excited to see how all three episodes fit together. Because of this, naturally, I went and bought myself a copy of their album. I actually have built up quite a collection of SHINee albums. Not all of them are up on the site yet, but you can read all of the ones up to this point here.
I picked up my copy of this from Choice Music for $16.99 plus shipping here. You can also pick up from Amazon here for $28.99 with free shipping if you have Prime. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30 day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2 day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it.
Things to know about The Story of Light EP.1:
- There is only 1 version of this album
- Things that come with the album:
- CD
- 16 page lyric book
- 2 random photo cards:
- One full group, 3 versions
- One individual member, 4 versions
- 64 page photo book
- The photo card has little messages from all 4 members
- The photo book is actually fantastic. It is like it popped out of a dream. I really love how they use material to create this image of between reality and fantasy.
- I also really like the use of primary colors.
- Something I don’t like: The CD is on a piece of cardboard that isn’t glued into the box.
K-Points: 463/5
I really like this packaging! It is different from anything else I have seen SHINee do to date. They normally do really avant garde concepts, like with Misconceptions of Us. This one just has extra flair though. It’s totally different, and it feels like a piece of art, not a music album. So, why were points deducted? Because of the cardboard CD thing. Although it is minor, it prevented the album from being a perfect score.
Should you buy a copy of this album? Yes. The music is good, and the packaging is cool. Can you just stream it? Absolutely. The music is all very fun and bright. It is totally worth listening to!
What track off of the album is your favorite? Let me know in the comments, K-Nuggets!
사랑합니다!
