Yonghwaiting Hoodlums: Epik High - Shoebox: Volume 8 REVIEW

I bought this album from mwave for about $22.99 I think. But I had to wait about 2 months until it arrived. Although this album cost a little bit more than I would usually spend, it was totally worth it. As soon as this album was released I just adored it immediately! The packaging was nicely made and all the songs bring an instant eargasm. Wonderful music to my ears ^^! I can't even pick what my favorite song is because all the songs are the album are that good! And it's not like all the songs sound similar, each song has has a unique sound. They also collaborated with the right people. Idk how to explain it, you just have to listen to this album for yourself ^^. I've been a fan of Epik High since I heard their song "Fly" but this is my first album from them. I am debating to buy some of their older albums now xD. I don't know why I like Korean rap when I don't even understand Korean honestly :P. But the good thing about this album is that it comes with a lyrics book. The lyrics are both in Korean AND English. I'll have to read through all the lyrics when I have time now. As for the physical album packaging, it's REALLY pretty! It's really simple with just four colors: light blue, pink, white, and brown but I think that is what makes it pretty. This album makes me feel like a Hipster LOL! It also came with a commentary disc that I have yet to listen to and 2 small posters. One poster is of a sketch of a ballerina with Korean written in the back (I have no idea what it says). And the other poster is a a double sided picture of Epik High themselves. I want to put the posters up but idk if I should :\. Overall, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this album! (see what I did there xD?) I recommend this album to anyone who admires and likes Korean hip hop music. This album is kind of like Indie-Hip-Hop if that is even a thing...
