No new music today, so today it’s another unboxing of an album in my collection that you have not seen yet. Today we are talking about Twicetagram by Twice, which came out in the fall of 2017. this is Twice’s first full length album, and has the catchy af “Likey” on it that everyone knows the dance to.
You can pick up a copy of the album here on Amazon for 24 bucks with free shipping.
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.
Things to know about this album:
- There are three versions:
- Each version comes in a matte and glossy finish, so there are 6 versions total.
- There are 6 different random booklets you can get:
- The purple (shown above) and blue have Jeongyeon, Momo and Tzuyu
- Orange and green have Sana, Dahyun and Chaeyoung
- Pink and yellow have Mina, Nayeon, and Jihyo
- The booklets all come with stickers you can put on the covers, as it is initially just blank (as you all can see, K-Nuggets, I had fun with the stickers). There are 10 versions of these. You get them randomly
- The album comes with 2 random photocards of the members:
- Each album has a set of 9 that varies from version to version
- As for the other one, I am assuming you get 1 of 9
- I also have 2 extra card sets that were pre-order benefits. One set is shown here.
- The photo books are cute and fun, just like the group
K-Points: 368/5
So I definitely thought the album was fun and cute, but as a straight woman in her 20s, it would be very strange if girls in their teens got me all riled up. What I don’t like about the album is that if I wanted photos of all of them, I’d have to buy multiple versions of the album. To be honest, I like Twice, but not enough to want to buy every version of their album, even if they only give me 3 out of nine members. On top of that, it isn’t like if I bought all 3 versions that I would be guaranteed to have all the members, since there are 6 random photo books. I do like the sticker set though, so you can decorate the album, as it would be boring without them, and I do like the music itself (although I don’t listen to that album straight through as often as I do others).
Should you buy a copy of this album? This is where I’m torn, because everything you can get is so up in the air so if you have a favorite member, you may not even get to see any photos of them if you buy just one. If you don’t care what members you get, like me, then go for it. Can you just stream it? Yes. I don’t listen to the album all the time. I listen to a few tracks, but the album straight through isn’t something to freak out about. If you like the group, support them and buy a copy, as girl groups are typically a few bucks cheaper than boy groups.
What member would you want to get with the album? What’s your favorite song on the album? Let me know in the comments below, K-Nuggets!
