Ginger91 195 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It's been about 2 years since I bought my first kpop album (Dark & Wild) but now I have 6 albums and I really regret buying them now because I've either realized I don't like the artist or the album in general just sucked. I kind of want to sell them but I'm underage and I don't want my mom to find out lol. Has anyone else felt this? Spending so much money on an album only to end up just liking the poster or holographic photocard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neojasnee 2,751 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 This is why you listen to the whole album on Youtube before you buy it to see if its worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seriouslykpop 1,608 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Wow, that sucks I've never felt that, but I'm always afraid it'll happen. Although to be fair, I only buy an album if I really love the songs so I don't think I run that risk. Just wait until you're legal and then sell it, I'm sure someone will want to buy it.

Alicent 343 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Nop I have Katy Perry's album and even if I don't listen to it anymore it's a nice memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBadNotGood 11,616 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Yeah. I regret getting my Junsu and Jaejoong albums. Not because I dislike the music or those two but I never listen to them anymore. Even if I did it'd be on the computer or my music player. I've been thinking about selling them for a long time. For EXO, after Lotto I decided to just buy the digital copies and get the posters for future albums (since that's all I ever want anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh probably just wait or sell them secretly lmao. And listening to it on YouTube usually recommended so I do that but I had a good streak of buying albums with songs I like on it and can listen to over and over again so I skipped over that step recently and bought an album from the JYP group.

Rainism 2,874 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I stream music so I buy albums only for decoration and to support my faves, so I haven't regretted any purchase yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintat 4,072 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I don't buy physicals most of the time and before buying I always listen to the full album on Youtube, if I like it enough to want it in my phone then I'll buy on itunes.

JessicaRabbit 6,569 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Even with my biases, I only buy the physical copies if I liked more than half of the album. CD's in general are expensive and I'm not coughing out cash for something that I think is shit. But when I started out 7 years ago, I was so hyped because of the different designs and the goodies that came along that I was just collecting anything lol, so I feel you... but you learn as you grow. Now, the only time I'll buy a CD that I'm into is if it's autographed or if I have a feeling that the band might disband and I want to have something to remember them by (That's how I felt about LC and I was lucky enough to get a copy autographed by all the members before the accident...)

Worst. Decision. Ever. Well, JYP's groups all have a huge fanbase so you'll definitely, 100% will find someone to buy it from you. Just take care of them and make sure everything's in order until you sell it, so you can do it for a price close to the one you bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thay 7,690 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I like collecting and even if I don't follow the artist anymore it's just nice memories Besides I like the music in all the albums I have so if I listen to them again in the future I won't hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethereal 20,923 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 i actually don't regret buying any albums i personally brought with my own money. before i had a credit card, i asked my family to buy me some for christmas and my bday and the only one i regret asking for is block b's blockbuster album because i'm not a fan of them and was never a big fan of them. other group's albums that i have and am no longer a fan of i still listen too and am glad i could support them.

B612 22,399 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I regret and at the same time I don't regret getting 4Minute's Volume Up, I like the package but it takes too much space on my shelf and doesn't match the smaller albums I regret buying T-ara N4 album bcz I don't really like the pictures in it nor the song to be very honest I regret buying T-ara Sexy Love because the pictures are kinda meh and Day by Day was far superior (no ugly wigs) but I like to support my faves even if I get bored of their goods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveLetter 332 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'll look at the specification first. The first and lastest album that I bought contain 15 songs include the other version of title track and more b side songs. I got huge ass poster, 2 stickers, 1 big pc and 2 small pc also quite many photo book mini pages too meanwhile the price is not too different with an album which is contain cd only. And the most important I love the other songs on the album, I think thats a win win solution. I got many good songs, many bonuses and reasonable price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiris 537 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 yeah back in the 90's when i bought american albums, a lot of the times only a few songs out of whole album would be good. for k-pop and j-pop i haven't been disappointed yet since i usually listen to album first, although i have blind bought all of the kara's stuff which i'm really happy with. there's also some other artists that hasn't let me down yet either on my blind preorder buys.
