Unlike my last post on iKON The New Kids, this post is coming out right on time! About 24 hrs ago, I got my copies of Taemin Want in the mail. As such, it is time for me to unbox them for you, and show you what comes inside.
I ordered both copies of the album from an eBay seller in the US. This is a link to the exact one I’ve ordered. I got both copies for $33.99 plus shipping, which is a really fair price. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the E-Bates extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is E-Bates?
E-Bates is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Ebates, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over 80$ 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.
Can I get it on Amazon?
Yes! You can pick up one copy using this link here for 23 dollars (not as good of a deal), 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 life saver. 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 cost $7.99 a month, and you get the first 30 days for free with this link.

- On top of that, the music in this album matches the feel of the photos, which I feel like is a rare occurrence.
- This album also happens to be the same size as almost every other SHINee album in existence. They all perfectly stack on top of each other on a shelf.
K-Points: 58/5
There are a number of things that I really love about this album. I love how it is the same size as all of the other SHINee albums. I also love how the photos in the book perfect match the concept of the album. Sometimes, they feel more random, but here they are just as edgy as the music Taemin produced. I also love how they added a stand up card of him as a special treat
So should you get yourself a copy of this album? Honestly, Taemin is such a creative person ,and his albums are no different. Having any album of his in your collection is a treat! Should you stream it? Every track on this album is top notch, and definitely worth streaming!
Which version of the album do you like better, K-Nuggets? Let me know in the comments below!
사랑합니다!
