Sorry, this is a late review but I figured it's time I finally work on this (written) review since BTS will soon be releasing their song "Sick." Anyway I ordered this album on May 4th from eBay seller music-plaza. It was shipped the same day and arrived one May 19th. So it took about 2 weeks. I was originally going to purchase this album from mwave because they had a special meet&greet special. However if your read my previous unboxing posts, I've had some issues in the past waiting for my orders to arrive. Also, the chances of getting an album signed by ALL members were quite slim. I already have an autographed Dark&Wild album which I feel is already enough for me :). Anyway, back to the review, I forgot to mention that it was REALLY important for me to get this album in the pink version. First of all, when I first saw the concept photos for this album, I ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT! I really love Cherry Blossoms, and so having my favorite flower/tree PLUS my favorite K-pop group, BTS, it was just love at first sight LOLOLOL (wow, I'm weird xD). But seriously, I love this concept so much! The physical album itself, it's not my favorite... I don't really like paper covers only because its VERY fragile and not very protected. And its white... so I'm trying as much as possible to keep this album in tact and clean. The album photobook is amazing! You already know why (LOL). But besides the cherry blossoms, there is some pictures of them looking a bit emo? and some poems throughout the photobook that somewhat makes sense... It's a bit weird but it matches with the whole theme/concept so I can't really complain. The songs on this album is really good!!!!!!!!! It's kind of different from their 4 previous albums. I definitely love the title track "I Need U" the most. And not to mention the MV (original version). That was some pretty intense sh**. I also like "Fun Boys" and "Coverse High." I feel that "Fun Boys" is such and fun/upbeat/happy song to listen to. It's of kind of like their song "Rise of Bangtan." I LOL when I first heard "Converse High" only because I should of known it was coming. Rap Mon finally wrote a song about his ideal type HAHA. I think all BTS fans know that he likes girls with red Converse high tops and probably purchased a pair for themselves. Converse, you should really use Rap Mon and BTS as spokesmen for your brand, you would make a fortune xD. Oops I'm getting distracted again...anyway as for "Sick"... it's not my favorite song but I don't hate it. I will probably like it more once the MV comes out. I mean did you see the concept photos?! Rap Mon is looking hella good ;). The album in general is definitely worth buying! BTS never fails to disappoint and their musical talents just keep growing which each album :). Not to mention they sure have a lot more fans these days, I'm so happy they finally won on multiple music charts :').

OH YEAH! I forgot to mention that I got a Jungkook photocard :). I technically wanted a Rap Mon (ultimate bias duh!) or Suga photocard but it's okay. The "Golden Maknae" is still my favorite maknae out of every K-pop group xD.
AND because I got this album from music-plaza they gave me a free gift which was a GOT7/BTS unoffical fan :). Tbh, I prefer the side of the fan with GOT7 looks better than the BTS side only because the picture of BTS was poorly put together >.< Oh whale, I'm still using this fan because it's K-pop xD. Hmmm I got two GOT7 gifts... maybe it's a sign I should buy a GOT7 album next LOL :3.
Here is an album unboxing if you want to see more
