I Am: SMTOWN Live World Tour in Madison Square Garden DVD

I've been wanting this DVD for so long. Finally I bought it.

 This is the photobook.

A pretty normal photobook with some photos of SM artists.

I was more excited for this, the DVD.

I really like the packaging.

Look, how cool is that? :)

Disc 1 - DVD
I AM : SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR in Madison Square Garden 2011

I immediately watched this documentary after the box arrived. However after finishing, I was a bit disappointed. This documentary basically shows the life journey of the idols, including their pre-debut days (which is quite enjoyable to watch). Some parts like Ryeowook's and Jonghyun's part did brought me to tears. You can see how hard they work to become artists. Overall the movie is good but I'm sad that they left out TVXQ debut moment. I'm guessing it has something to do with the JYJ incident but still.. I was really expecting to see more of them. :(

Disc 2 - I AM Special Features
01. New York Diary
02. What's Your Color?
03. TVXQ! Their Story
04. Showcase Highlight
05. Music Video "Dear My Family"
06. Making of Music Video
07. Teaser Trailer 1
08. Teaser Trailer 2
09. Original Trailer

This DVD did not have subtitles (why??), so I don't really understand anything their saying. But still I find it very enjoyable to watch especially the New York Diary. They showed them walking on the streets, some rehearsal performances and backstage footage. Sighs, how I wish I was there to see them.

Thank you, SM for including their performances during the Live Tour at MSG. Glad I could watch it on screen now despite not being able to attend the concert. Wearing headphones while watching it just makes it so much enjoyable (I put it on high volume too).

Overall, as an SM artists fan, I am happy with this DVD. I just wish they'd put the subtitles on Disc 2.

SHINee's 3rd Album - Chapter 1 ‘Dream Girl: The Misconceptions of You’

SM, why do you have to divide the album into two? (as if I'm not already broke). Sob2..

I somehow like the weird and unique cover.

A pretty normal SM packaging, where you have the CD on the left and the photobook on the right.

Disc 1 - CD

01. Spoiler 

02. Dream Girl 

03. Hitchhiking

04. Punch Drunk Love 

05. Girls, Girls, Girls 

06. Aside

07. Beautiful

08. Dynamite

09. Runaway

There are some good songs in this album, but honestly, non of these stand out for me except for Dream Girl. I was expecting more from them. Their previous album tracks are far better.They seem to be going for the 80s type of songs, which is actually one of my favourite genres but not for these songs. I'm sorry.

Now, moving on to the photobook.

I don't know, I'm not really liking the pictures either. Wow, I'm starting to sound like an anti, which I'm not, trust me. I love SHINee. I mean, some pictures are okay but there are those blurry/pixelated photos on some pages which I really don't like. They did this photoshoot for hours, you'd think they would choose the better ones. Not to mention those typical empty white borders. And what is up with the random animal in every group's album? Like, how is the horse related with the album as a whole? =_= (but it's a cute horse nevertheless)

 As for the photocard, I got Onew's again. Sighs, I was hoping I could get other member's photocard since I already got his.

I guess one of the only things I'm satisfied with this album is the poster. Its huge. :)

Overall, I have to say that I was disappointed with this album. It just didn't live up to my expectation. I hope Misconception of Me will be better.
