Honestly, I think that all of the extras that you get with the Limited edition definitely make this album worth it. When I opened the album the first time, I was shocked at how many extra things I was pulling out! Also, I think the QR photocard idea is really unique. Although it seems like the links don’t work now, it seems like all of the QR codes aren’t identical, so there may be different things “hiding” behind each other codes. It’s really unique, and I wish I had clicked on them sooner so I knew what was behind them!
If you want to watch me fangirl, I do also post reactions over on my YouTube Channel. I have posted one for Stray Kids God’s Menu, which you can watch below:
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? I definitely think it is for the music alone. Stray Kids is consistently putting out excellent music. That being said, if you are not an album collector, or don’t have the money to buy the album, you should definitely stream it.
Where Can I Buy It?
I picked up my copy of this album Music Plaza LA. You can get a copy of the standard version 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 for about 20 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.
