K-Points: 384/5
I really like this album. I think Mino is an amazing musical artist, and the packaging on this album reflects his unique style. In comparison to his first album, XX, the music in this album is, for lack of a better term, cleaner, and that is reflected in this album with all of the clean lines and how he utilizes empty space in this photo book. Big fan of the music, and the physical album.
If you want to watch my thoughts on more K-Pop, you can watch it over on my YouTube Channel. I have also posted one for MINO Fiancé, which you can watch below:
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with any of Mino’s albums. He is incredibly talented and his music is a treat to listen to. I think the photo books just add that little bit extra and reinforce the story in his album, Should you stream it? Absolutely. You can tell that Mino pours his artistic soul into his music, and that alone makes it worth listening to.
Where Can I Buy It?
I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. You can get a copy here for $24.99, 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 get you a copy for $29.50, plus free shipping. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the Rakuten extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is Rakuten?
Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over 80$ 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 are 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 29 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.
