f(x)'s 2nd Album - Pink Tape

I like the design of this album. It really looks like a cassette tape. Very nostalgic.
If this was a real movie, I'd watch it. Haha :P
Here's the inside.
Pretty pink. I normally don't like pink but for this album, I'll make an exception.
This is the photobook.
 f(x) has a new member, Kai! Haha <3
 Lots of JungLi photos, I see.
 Ah, my KaiStal heart~ This is definitely my favourite photo.
 This is a lovely page, don't you think so? :)
And.... we have Amber forever alone on the last page. Haha xD
I like the photobook but some of the captions are so deep, I couldn't understand them. :/

 Here's the very cool looking disc.
Disc 1 - CD
01. Rum Pum Pum Pum
02. Shadow
03. Pretty Girl
04. Kick
05. Signal
06. Step
07. Goodbye Summer feat. D.O. of EXO
08. Airplane
09. Toy
10. No More
11. Snapshot
12. Ending Page

Oh my gosh, I can't express how much I love the songs in this album. I rarely ever like all songs in one album but I do for Pink Tape. f(x), you really outdid yourselves in this one. It's really hard for me to choose which one my favourite is as they're all awesome. I guess if I had to choose, I'd pick Rum Pum Pum Pum, Signal, Airplane and Snapshot. 

Rum Pum Pum Pum: I like it the minute I listened to it.  
Shadow: I like how it sounds. Very soothing song and unique too. Great harmonization.
Pretty Girl: I like the chorus part. Luna and Krystal's voices are amazing (Krystal's voice sounds like Jessica's especially near the ending. haha)
Kick: Makes you wanna dance during the instrumental part.
Signal: Has that 80s/90s feel that I really, really like. Thank you for bringing back the disco sounds, SM. :D
Step: Catchy 'na na na' part. Another nice song to dance to.
Goodbye Summer: A lovely ballad song about unsaid feelings. Featuring D.O was a great idea. Their voices go very well together. Probably the best song lyrically.
Airplane: It has a nice tune and a catchy chorus (come with me, airplane, love~). Also, I am in love with Amber's voice in verse 2. Thank you, SM for letting her sing more in this. Honestly I prefer her singing than rapping. Her voice is beautiful~ :)
Toy: Another catchy song. I like the Sulli and Krystal's intro and also the chorus. However, the only thing I did not like much is the random dub-step in the middle. Other than that, it's a good song.
No More: This song sounds so much like an SNSD song. I think this may be my least favourite but I still like it.
Snapshot: Do I need to say more? The intro is brilliant! I wish they would release an MV for this. I can imagine one something similar to SNSD's Paparazzi MV.
Ending Page: Great choice of song to end the album. I wish to watch them sing this live one day. f(x), please do a concert in Malaysia~

I seriously don't know how many times I've repeated the songs on my iTunes. This album deserves an award. It's so good, I'm about to cry. T_T

 Got a beautiful Victoria photocard.
 Here's the big poster that came along with the album.

If you're an f(x) fan, you should really buy this album. Trust me, it won't disappoint. Definitely one of my favourites Kpop albums. ^^

f(x)'s 2nd Mini Album - Electric Shock

I always wanted this album since it came out. Electric Shock is like one of my favourite f(x) songs ever! Love it from the minute I watch the MV.
SM, again I ask, what is it with the random animals? And why on earth would you make them wear those horse/deer masks? I was confused so I googled the explanation and I found out that they are trying to convey a fairy tale through that album cover. Hmm, all I could see is a creepy album cover. Wouldn't it be better to make an album cover with I don't know.. an electric/electronic concept or something?
It gets creepier when I opened the album. The pedo-rabbit and pedo-bear are nowhere near the fairytale concept.
 Scary..
 Pedobear..
 As if it's not already creepy..
 That's actually a pretty cool pose, Amber.
 I feel like cropping that bear..
 Lyrics and credits.
As usual, I don't like the empty white and blank pages. But the pictures are okay (minus the animals). The girls are very pretty~

Disc 1 - CD
 01. Electric Shock
02. Jet
03. Zig Zag
04. Beautiful Stranger
05. Love Hate
06. Let’s Try

I've always enjoyed f(x) songs since their debut. They're catchy. The songs in this album are no exception. All are great. As I have mentioned, I love Electric Shock (who doesn't?). Other than that, I also like Beautiful Stranger and Jet. :)

I was excited to see which member photocard I get, secretly hoping it'd be Krystal and....
 Yippie! Got hers as my first f(x) photocard. So happy~ ^^
As for the posters, I already know which ones I get because the seller was selling it separately from the album and I chose these two.
Yes, Krystal is my bias if you don't already know. :)
