Time to talk more about how great SHINee is, and if you don’t like them too bad. They’re great. They’re savage. I love them. I’ve recently been working on filling in earlier albums from artists I love that I don’t currently have in my collection. Things that you discover in this search: The earlier the year on the album, the harder it is to find, so when I find albums that might be slightly more challenging to find, I usually just pick them up then and there, as you never know when you will be able to find a copy of that again.
Why don’t you just stream it, Rachel? Well, when you stream music, you are 100% left to listening to what the companies decide to provide, and when you suddenly cannot understand your BTS albums because they magically switched to being in Japanese, you start buying them. 142 albums later… and you realize you have a problem (that is the actual count of my album collection by the way. I have a spreadsheet that I go off of to make sure that I don’t buy things multiple times, as I have done that before).
Today, the back filled album is SHINee’s Married to the Music, cause it is SHINee, so I needed it. I got it on Amazon. Cause I wanted it in 2 days (I will do this frequently with albums I am backfilling, Pre-Orders will typically be bought at Choice Music LA, as they are great for pre-orders, and ship typically as soon as they get in. So highly recommend that you do that
Things to know about this album:
- There is only one version of the album that you can buy.
- This is a repackage of Odd
- Things that come with the album:
- CD
- Jewel CD case (yuck!)
- Photobook (about 60 pages)
- Poster (initial release only)
- Photocard (1 of 5)
- See-through sleeve that says Married to the Music on it in a creepy font
- The actual CD has a weird cereal bowl on it. I like it. It’s colorful. There’s an eyeball in the bowl.
- The photos are all very typical weird, avantgarde SHINee. You get some photos of them, then some photos of weird stuff too that make you think “what is this?”
K-Points: 363/5
So this will not get higher than 363 out of 5 K-Points because of a jeweled CD case. Anything that ever has a jeweled CD case will automatically be docked points, even if the photo book is amazing. In this situation, it has a jeweled CD, and the photo book is not my favorite. This has nothing to do with the fact that the photos are all super avant-garde, it has more to do with the fact that it doesn’t make me go “oooooo yay!”
Do you need a copy of this album? If you love SHINee and they are one of your favorite groups because they are all super duper strange, yes. If they’re not your favorite, then no. Between the repackage, and the original, which one should you buy? This one, as it has extra songs on it. At the end of the day, if you aren’t like a massive Shawol, I don’t really think you need a copy of this in your collection, and you can just go ahead and stream it…. cause jewel CD case.
