As noted in a number of my previous posts, I am quite a big fan of Wanna One for unknown reasons. They just have this charismatic quality that draws you in and makes you want to watch them succeed. So, when Wanna One Undivided (1÷x=1) came out, I felt the need to add all of the albums into my collection. If you want to read my review of the mini-album you can do that here.
There are 6 versions of this album I picked up all 6 on Choice Music. You can pick up just one here for $18.99 plus shipping. Also, the set of all 6 is available here for $105.99 plus shipping. You can also pick up a copy on Amazon for $24.90 here with free shipping if you are a Prime member. 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. Prime really is worth it. Pretty sure it will be cheaper on Choice in this situation.

K-Points: 577/5
Okay, these albums I really love, which is a big contrast to their previous release photo books which I felt were so-so. In comparison, this one knocked it out of the park. But, I also though the the music knocked it out of the park as well. This is actually the most solid work that I have seen Wanna One do since their debut at the end of Produce 101. Super impressed. On top of that, because there are 6 versions, there is something for everyone. Do not buy this album if you are OCD… the spines not matching up to make a 1 will really annoy you if you only have one. As someone who is like that, I sighed when they all matched up and looked complete.
Should you buy this album? Yes, I feel that it is their best work since their very first release. Should you buy all 6? Only if you are OCD. If you are not, pick your favorite. Mine is the Artbook version. It’s sick. Can you just stream it? Absolutely, and I highly recommend that you do. It is very stream worthy.
Which of the 6 versions is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below, K-Nuggets!
