NOTE: For this review, I actually bought two of the same albums. One album is a normal album and the other one is autographed. Long story short, I thought my autographed album was lost in the mail so I purchased a regular album through another site and I ended up getting my autographed album before the regular album. So, I basically wasted my money and currently trying to sell my regular album. I don't see the use to having two of the same albums. And I don't really collect albums for every members photocards. Whatever photocard I get is what I keep basically.

I purchased the autographed BTS - Dark&Wild album ($22.99) from mwave along with an autographed Ailee - Magazine album ($15.99) (another review for that album coming soon!) for pkimhi on October 28, 2014. Both these albums were part of Meet&Greet so the BTS Meet&Greet was on October 28, 2014 KST and the Aliee Meet&Greet was a week later. Usually autographed albums from mwave takes awhile until it is shipped out and I think BTS had like 2,000 albums to sign for this Meet&Greet 0___0. Anyhow, my package was finally shipped out on December 4, 2014 and once again, I did NOT pay for shipping because I am cheap. Usually in the past when I ordered from mwave, it takes about 2 weeks to arrive (except for that lucky bag order if you saw my review for that -___-). I e-mailed mwave after 2 weeks and they said it was actually shipped out on December 12 (I guess my confirmation was wrong...) and I have to wait two more week (excluding weekends) and then I could e-mail them again. So I waited and still had no package. I e-mailed them a very angry e-mail and they said it was probably lost and they would refund me.

After finding out my package was lost, I was quite desperate for this album whether signed or not. So I checked out eBay only to find overpriced sellers. Until finally I decided to buy my album through musicplaza on amazon. The reason why I purchased it through their amazon account was because it was about $1 cheaper for shipping than on their eBay account (I am hella cheap lol). And I trusted musicplaza because my cousin bought albums from them before (her CNBLUE album & my WINNER album ^^). PLUS I heard they gave a free gift with purchase :). So I did and paid $24 total. Fast forward a couple days later (February 3, 2015), I get an e-mail from mwave saying they found my parcel... LIKE WHAT?!?!?!?!?! AND they said they would pay for my tracking THANK GOD! Fast forward a couple hours later, just when I was about to cancel my amazon order, I got a confirmation that it was shipped and ended up not canceling because I wanted to see what I would get from each album first and then sell it. The regular album from amazon arrived on February 14, 2015 and the free gift that came with the album was an UNOFFICAL GOT7 Mark photocard. I was expecting to get something BTS related but it's all gee because I am a fan of GOT7 & ironically Mark is my bias lol xD.

Anyway, my overall impression of the BTS album itself was that it is TOTALLY worth buying whether autographed or not. Packaging wise, it is okay. I rather have packaging that looks like a book. But whatever. The photobook concept is okay too. It wasn't anything really special but it fit in very well with the theme, Dark&Wild. I also thought it was cool that they had the lyrics to each song as if it were actually handwritten. Honestly, I prefer the packing and photobook in Skool Luv Affair but that is just me. As for the tracklist, I like majority of the songs. I like how their album has a different kind of hip-hop vibe. It's kind of like an old school hip hop vibe. And it fits well with their album theme. I think that is what BTS does REALLY well, they really stick to their album themes so it's like hearing a story :3. My favorite songs is "Let Me Know" and "Look Here". And of course their title songs "Danger" and "War Of Hormone" ^^. Basically if you are a BTS album, you really should buy this. I guess in the end, the waiting game was worth it :D. Oh yeah forgot to mention that the photocard I got in my autographed album was Rap Monster (my bias!!) and I also got J-Hope in my regular album :). I am quite pleased with my photocards because I got my 94' Line and I'm born in 94' teehee ^^. I actually wanted Jimin or Suga (they visually looked appealing in their photocards LOL) but I got my bias and that is all that matters ^____^. Like I said earlier, I am planning to sell my regular album along with the J-Hope photocard. I wanted to keep it but it just wouldn't feel right keeping it and just selling the album itself because I know people really want photocards lol. So if you interested, please let me know :). Price is negotiable.
