K-Points: 555/5

I am such a big fan of anything that SHINee comes out with that there is no way I couldn’t be a fan of this. The album is much more simple, in regards to packaging, but that is standard for albums that are more ballad-esque. One thing that I do really love about this album: it is the same size as almost all of my other K-Pop albums.

If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for SHINee Don’t Call Me, which you can watch below:

So should you get yourself a copy of this album? The album is currently out of print, but if you can find it, I recommend that you get it. In the mean time, please feel free to stream it, as I think you will really enjoy Onew’s voice…. pun intended.

Where Can I Buy It?

I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. If available, ou can get a copy here for $19.99, 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 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 (if available, as it is currently out of print), 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.
