TVXQ's 6th Album - Catch Me (CD+DVD) (Special Edition)

 

Ordered this baby from Valoa Records Blogshop. Very nicely packaged. And fast shipping too. Thumbs up! :)

I was really looking forward to unbox this album because of the photocards (there are 4 in this one).

Let me just say that I so love the packaging. It's quite big. Kinda has that high class look too with the use of the black and gold colour. It just makes you feel proud to own one. :) And unlike their other albums, this one is made up from some sort of fabric material(?). Not sure what it's called but its soft and feels very nice when you touch it.

 Besides that, they also added this cool hologram feature on the front of the album package, where it changes back and forth from Yunho to Changmin.

So there are two albums inside. One is the CD and the other DVD. Lets go through the CD first (or the red album)

So we have the hologram thing again on the back and front of the album and also on the inside. But the outer ones are slightly creepy though.

 I wonder, why dogs? And why the scary ones? :/

This is how it looks when you opened it. The page on the right has the hologram too.

As usual, there's the lyrics and some photos of the boys (and the dog).

03. TVXQ! Special Interview 

04. Jacket Making Clip 

05. Music Video Making Clip

Love the MVs but it's a shame that there's no subtitles for the interviews, especially for someone who doesn't understand Korean like me. But that's okay. Still get to see those handsome faces. :)

Besides the albums, there's also these two message cards.

 Alright, time for the photocards. I was expecting two group photocards and one of each Yunho and Changmin photocards.

Got two group cards and two Yunho cards. lol, I seem to be lucky when it comes to getting Yunho's photocard. I already got four of his cards.

These are the posters that came along with the album. Not really liking the pictures though. Why do they have to cover those faces? :/ But the posters are pretty huge.

 That's it for this album. Since this includes both the CD and DVD, it will cost more. I'd say, if you're a big fan, then this won't disappoint. :)

SNSD's 4th Album - I Got A Boy (Group Version)

This is the 3rd album I bought along with SHINee's Lucifer and TaeTiSeo's Twinkle albums. Cost me RM62. I got the Group version album because I figured its better to have all the members in a photobook rather than buying the individual member's version. Though I have to admit, after I unboxed this album, I was thinking of getting Tiffany and Yoona's version as well. Haha.. Maybe when I have enough money. Have to save some in case they release a repackaged album.

I love the design. Very simple but unique. I like how each member have their own colour. Its probably more beautiful when you buy the whole set. Then you'll have a set of colourful albums. :)

This album has that hard cardboard box which I really like.

There's a hard protective case which covers the photobook inside. You can slide it out easily. 

I like the logo sticker on the case.

The 40-page photobook.

As expected, the quality of the paper is good.

 

Gosh, I love all the photos but why is Hyoyeon's picture from a further distance than the rest? I wish her's was a close up shot as well. :(

The CD at the back is protected by a transparent cover with the all the members' pictures on it. (seriously, who's the album designer? lemme love you~)

Disc 1

 01. I Got a Boy

02. Dancing Queen

03. Baby Maybe

04. Talk Talk 

05. Promise

06. Express 999

07.  Lost in Love

08. Look at Me

09. XYZ

10. Romantic St.

At first I didn't really like I Got A Boy but like many other songs, after listening to it many times, I got addicted. Dancing Queen is okay for me. If you ask me, I prefer Dancing Queen more than Duffy's Mercy. The rest of the songs are also good but if I have to pick a favourite, I'd say Baby Maybe. Very soothing and love the verses.

Its unfortunate that this album doesn't come with a photocard. I'm sure if SM put photocards, more people would buy the albums. But SNSD has many loyal fans who would buy their album no matter what, so...

Here's the poster of the album. Its quite small. I think its the same size as their Mr. Taxi's poster (correct me if I'm wrong).

As a fan, I'd say this album is worth it. The unique packaging makes up for the small poster and no photocard problem. :)
