NCT 2018 (엔시티 2018) Empathy Album Unboxing

nct empathy

In 2018, this album has so far been one of my favorite releases. I talked about the album track by track here. Go read it because I did a lot of fangirling. Note: This fangirling was heard even more by my friends because I’m sorry… Taeyong just exists. There is also not a bad song on this album, but that is second to the fact that Taeyong exists, people.

If you want a copy of this album, you can pick it up here on Amazon for $30.99 with free shipping in the United States.

I also do a lot of my album shopping on Music Plaza LA. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase!

You can also order a copy of the album from an eBay, as they typically have good prices. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the E-Bates extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.

What is E-Bates?

E-Bates is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Ebates, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over 80$ back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!

If you’ve never used EBates before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using EBates. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from.  Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Sokoglam typically has 3%. These percentages Many other major retailers are on there as well.

  • The photos were all taken on their trip to Ukraine.
  • The dream version photo book is a lot more unrealistic, and smoldering…. cause you know…. it is a dream… Most of these shots were done in a studio
  • The reality version photobook has them out hanging on the streets in Ukraine. I like all the photos of them smiling in this one. I like smiley people.

K-Points: 1,253/5

Honestly, I cannot find anything else that I wouldn’t want in this album. The photo books are quite large, the packaging is overall fantastic and the music itself is just phenomenal. I also really love how they finally put songs like the 7th Sense on a physical album (It’s a great song. It needed to be added). Honestly, it’s just an amazing album. I love it.

Should you buy a copy of this album? Yes/ Which version? Reality, as smiling is great. I like smiling. You can just stream this as well, but I really don’t think you will regret owning a copy. It’s too damn pretty!
