I love the idea of owning physical media of an album I enjoyed listening to through and through. But I wish K-pop companies would create album photobooks not just plastering the idol’s in every single page. I get it, they’re pretty, handsome, beautiful wtv. But an album is more than just the idol. It’s the lyrics, the sound, the concept, the styling everything. My unpopular opinion is that the album should be a photography book about the concept (including the idol in SOME shots but not every single page).
For example, if some artist/group were to come with a horror themed album, then I wouldn’t want to just see the idol’s is horror makeup in different backgrounds and outfits. The makeup is cool and all but I would love to see liminal spaces, up close shots of eerie objects etc in some pages, It’s photography, art, story. That would make me keep the album as part of a collection, not just some obsession with an artist. A cool conversation starter. The least I can have right now is buy a plain cd case but even that’s disappearing with the digital media.
Curious to know if anyone shares this opinion
