I used to do it mostly for the songs until I stopped rlly buying albums other than nmixx, seventeen and csr
Also for a while I got albums depending on packaging colour since my shelf was rainbow coloured and I had too much black white and grey </3
Both, I guess. I only buy albums from groups that I like the music of, and then I choose which version to get based on the concept. But if I have to choose between two different albums, I normally choose the one with the concept I prefer, even if I slightly prefer the music of the other one.
I buy based on how much I like the album and if I don’t like it I don’t buy it. I just feel like that’s overconsumption at that point. I only collect all the versions if it’s my ult or they have 2-3 different versions
If I really love the albums songs then I will get it but I will choose wether to get the standard version or a member version based on the concept of the album and the inclusions
I buy it no matter what twice album it is cuz I collect twice and I want to have all Korean releases. But if it’s another group then by how many pcs or inclusions the album has, the price or how the album looks
If it's one of my ults, I buy it no matter the songs or concept
If it's one of the groups I just casually stan I buy them for songs, but there's a few albums that are exceptions to that
mainly for songs as i wouldn’t buy an album i dislike the tracklist of no matter how cute the packaging was but there have been a few exceptions where i wanted an album more for the concept
shake it - sistar (hyolyn, bora ver)
the reve festival finale - red velvet (finale ver)
ringing gingle bells - chakra
and to some extent miniskirt by aoa
i only buy if i like the songs, and then i buy any version i like depending on the packaging, concepts, and photocards. for my ults i try to buy all versions tho :)
