If I had to pick one group to be my ride-or-die group, although I would struggle for a minute, EXO would probably come out on top. So, when they release music, I get a little excessive and buy every copy. This is how I ended up with 8 copies of the EXO Don’t Fight the Feeling Special Album. Keep reading to find out what comes with the album, my thoughts, and where you can pick up a copy.

K-Points: 890/5
Honestly, my brain is overwhelmed with all of the versions of this album. So, I cannot pick a favorite. They are all amazing, and EXO looks amazing. I love everything that comes with all of the versions. I also really love the concept, and how it has a Star Wars theme. I think they also gave us a bit more context into EXO’s back story with the extras in this album too, like the Planet cards.
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for EXO Tempo, which you can watch below:
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? I definitely think you should! If you want to get a copy, and you don’t have a favorite member, get one of the photobook versions. If you do have a favorite member, you can then get one of the photobook versions plus the expansion version for that member. One thing I will say though is there are only 5 tracks on this album, so you could go for one of their full albums instead. Then, you can just stream this album.
Where Can I Buy It?
I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. All copies have different price points, but you can get a copy here, plus shipping. 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 eBay, as they typically have good prices. This link will help you with your search. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten 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 Rakuten, 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 Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!
Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!
Can I get it on Amazon?
Yes! You can pick up a copy using this link for about 27 dollars, with free shipping if you have Amazon 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. I also now use it for books for my Kindle Paper White too, and it is honestly a lifesaver. They have a program called Kindle Unlimited where you can check out 10 books at a time, read them, and put them back in the Kindle library. The program costs $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.
