Cat Reviews: EXO - THE WAR - The Physical Album - Private Version

Annyeong Friends!  I'm super excited to write this post because it's all about the physical version of EXO's newest album, The War!

STOP! CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO "THE WAR" WHILE YOU READ!

As promised in my review of The War, I will be overviewing the physical album when it found it's way into my hands, and it's finally here!  There are three versions of the physical album and I got the third version, called the "Private Version" because it includes comments from and photos taken by the members.  Each album, no matter which version you choose to get, comes with a photocard, photobook, and poster.  I got super lucky and was able to choose which member poster I wanted... can you guess who I picked?? Lol.  So without further ado... let's get into it!

The Private Ver.'s cover looks like this.  It's a super edited photo of our visual kings and they look great.  Like pretty much every SM Entertainment album, this one opens up like a book and has the CD on the left, and the photobook on the right.  I've included a few of my favorite pages from the photobook below as well!








In the photobook, there is also song credits and lyrics, as well as each members' comment on each song.  Baekhyun oppa's name is spelled incorrectly on the members' comments page and I'll share how SM hilariously tries to corrects it later in this post.  Also @/Kyungsoo just trying not to get fired lmao.



Of course I was hoping for my Chanman oppa's photocard, but I didn't get it... which was okay because I got Kyungsoo oppa!  Honestly, I would be completely happy to get any of the member's photocards, but I was extra happy that I got Squishysoo :)  And even though I didn't get my boyfriend's photocard, I got his poster, so I think we can call this one a win.


So when I was flipping through the photobook, I found this sticker sheet tucked into one page and I was confused because I didn't think this album came with any stickers.  I was still happy because who wouldn't love some stickers of hot guys' faces?  And then I saw that there were also stickers with the members' names but there was like A LOT of Baekhyun oppa's name and I was genuinely confused like why??? BUT THEN I read the bottom on the sheet...  Here's a close up so you can read it yourself.


SO YAH.  I mentioned earlier how Baekhyun oppa's name is spelled wrong on the members' comments page, this is how SM is correcting their mistake, by having us do it lol.  I'm not going to do it though because I think it's funny. (Backhyun lmao)

And there is the overview of EXO THE WAR!  I really love this album's concept and am saving up to buy the other two versions, and if I (ever) get them, I'll compare the three versions because I'm sure they're all different but beautiful in their own ways.

As always, thanks so much for reading!

With Love,
Caitlyn (Park) <3
